I'll say this for England. It's been around much longer than the US.

Not true. Only after being pressed did you make up that excuse, shit for brains. Self-referrent statements carry no weight around here. So what was your worst mistake, you phony Baptist?

Please, Bob the Baptist, the new guru, the modern messiah, the wizard of Ouzo, and a divinely inspired prophet of all things spiritual, political and economic, never finds himself in the position of needing to make an excuse for anything.

Right, and so was Jesus Christ, and John on the isle of Patmos who wrote the book of Revelation.

Ooo! Where shall we start -

Thinks he's the next John the Baptist or even Jesus Christ.
Thinks 'God' talks to him even tho' he claims that agnosticism is the only sane position.
Cannot see that his gematria names him as a false prophet for Satan and the Beast.
Thinks the reason why no-one plays his game is a satanic plot.
Thinks he has the solution to inflation even tho' his scheme would result in hyper-inflation.
Thinks large emboldened fonts makes his words truer even tho' they make him look like a loon.

Anyone else?

In a way, if Bob has been writing here that he is a prophet, this is a fallacy --- an appeal to authority. After all, whether Bob's comments are rationally valid depends solely on the content of those comments, and not on his status, as an alleged prophet. So, Bob telling people he is an alleged prophet is inconsistent with Bob being a rational debater.

It's analogous to Trump trying to justify his position on a topic by claiming to have "good genes."

I think you would agree that if somebody were truly a divinely inspired prophet, that would give him an edge in any debate. Of course, anybody can claim to be a prophet, but I'm the only person on Earth with the mystical credentials to prove it.

The list will be much shorter if you can identify those of your ideas that are NOT delusional.

I'm guessing you can't do that.

I'd like to stick around and try to help... but...

Any reference to a person's status as an alleged prophet is nothing more than the commonly known fallacy ---- an appeal to authority. Even if it could be established that a statement is coming from "god" it would not mean that the comment should be accepted as true or logically valid. The comment's merit would still rest on its own, and not on the identity of its speaker. Therefore, any reference you make to being an alleged prophet in order to bolster your position in a debate is simply you engaging in a logical fallacy.

It's rather ironic that you have failed to see the somewhat self-refuting position you have boxed yourself into.
