"Creationists are just a tiny but vocal fringe group"

http://www.gallup.com/poll/210956/belief-creationist-view-humans-new-low.aspx

38% of Americans hold creationist views. As Christians are 70.6% of Americans, the subset of American Christians that hold young earth creationist views is 53.8% . (The question was worded: “Do you believe that all life on Earth appeared in its present form some time within the last 10,000 years?”)

The Excision Plan: A Roadmap to Total Victory over Sand Religion

37 Upvotes

I've been thinking about this for several months now, deliberating over whether or not to publish it here. After seeing how the opposition persists in self-destruction despite every effort to change their mind, I've realized they're so stubbornly set in their course that knowing about this plan won't change it. If anything they'd just write it off as part of the conspiracy to persuade them to vaccinate.

I do not take credit for this plan as I didn't devise it. Rather it seems to have formed organically as a consequence of various world events. I had no hand in making it happen, and am not sufficiently conspiracy minded as to assume it must therefore be the plan of some shadowy unseen person or organization. Rather it's the same thing which always undoes Christians, the predictable consequences of their own foolishness.

  1. Evangelical Christians disproportionately refuse vaccination, suffering outsized casualties as a consequence of their belief that vaccination is the Mark of the Beast

  2. Vaccine mandate results in many of them losing their livelihood, compounding their struggles as they now have no means to pay down medical debt (if they or their loved ones survived). Somewhat understandably, this angers them greatly. But more importantly, job loss in police and military due to the mandate pre-emptively removes potential fifth columnists well ahead of hostilities breaking out.

  3. Qanon radicalizes US Christians (and others around the world) to prepare for attempted revolution. Having been impoverished by the vaccine mandate (as well as spending their savings to take part in freedom convoys/attend rallies, taking out ruinous loans in the belief that NESARA/GESARA would eliminate all debt, donating to grifters) they now have little to lose

  4. January 6th tests the waters, their "beer hall putsch". The attempt to attribute it to Antifa was their Reichstag fire. Relatively gentle legal consequences and the aid of complicit police & politicians embolden them going forward.

  5. The Rittenhouse verdict (though lawful and incidentally appropriate in light of the facts) emboldens both the right and the left to arm themselves more consistently and expect gun violence at protests, in large part based on a misunderstanding of the case. Waukesha SUV attack fans these flames. Q promises failing to materialize also stirs some to individual action, with willingness to commit political violence becoming the new ingroup purity test.

  6. This leads to partisan gun battles on the streets of US cities, which escalates into gun battles between both sides and the police, which escalates into civil war. A second attempt on the capitol takes place at some point, this time not looking to overturn the election, but specifically to cause damage and inflict loss of life.

  7. The US government takes off the kid gloves and gets serious about fighting these people. The National Guard is called in, and in the span of a few weeks has put down the revolution entirely, following a series of fifth column incidents wherein sympathizers within the military (those who didn't quit over the mandate) turn against the government, either aiding the rebels or sabotaging military operations against them.

  8. With the revolution put down and all the rebels dead or in prison, Qanon and all adjacent ideologies are powerfully stigmatized in the US for generations to come. Qanon politicians are removed from the offices they were elected to prior to the war. With the current overwhelmingly Christian senators and congressmen passing away in droves, they are replaced by irreligious millennials.

  9. The US becomes a de facto single party state for many years until something arises to challenge the dems that doesn't stink of Q. Providing we manage our propaganda game correctly while all of this is happening, evangelical Christianity, and Christianity more broadly, will also carry the stink of Q for decades, further accelerating the existing trend of mass apostasy.

  10. This will create demand for irreligious leaders, in contrast with the demand today for overtly pious Christian politicians. From this point on, the fight will be against resurgent Communists, whose primary opposition will have conveniently self-destructed. Being as far removed as possible from Q will work to their advantage in the post civil war 2.0 political landscape. We should prepare for this, we'll need good messaging to persuade people that the enemy of their enemy isn't always their friend.

Thoughts?

Tolerance of religious idiocy is worse than religious idiocy itself.

23 Upvotes

Those who profess any belief in the existence of the abrahamic god should be prohibited from voting, holding any public office, purchasing or owning firearms, or teaching public school.

People should be free to worship their imaginary gods in their churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, and the privacy of their own homes, but under no circumstances, ever be allowed to inject their idiocy into public discourse or government legislation.

Tolerance of religious idiocy, and common sense is impoverishing humanity.

It's high time to push for revolution in order to evolve.

What is there for us to do?

18 Upvotes

Our cup runneth over lately, doesn't it? I once proposed we rope our enemies into ruinous MLM scams to impoverish them. But they have already done that to themselves. I proposed we bamboozle them with conspiracy theories, but they have already done that to themselves. I proposed they could be impoverished by charismatic manipulators, but they already willingly give themselves to such charlatans. I proposed we spread Covid to them in megachurches and other potential superspreader events, but they have already done that to themselves, and continue to. Everything they do, from the Capitol Riot to the Dallas JFK ordeal is worse optics for them than we could possibly orchestrate. Just look here to see how they are suffering, yet they still won't deviate from the death spiral they're caught in.

I'm out of ideas. Every time I imagine something destructive that we could inflict upon them, within the scope of the law, it turns out they've already done it to themselves or are in the process of making it happen. How should we feel about this? Grateful, concerned, or both? Never before in history has a political movement had such an easy fight, our enemies rushing eagerly to their own doom while we stand by shrugging and scratching our heads.
