”good christian”: Tori A. Weathers (and an unnamed “friend”)
Context: In response to our Card Talk “Jesus, literally, whipping your ass (John 2:15),” which she clearly didn’t/was unable to read.
The Subject Line: You lost me and my best friend with politics and asking for $1.00 USD donations.
The Email:
1. We read the following and enjoyed it.
The Story AFTER "THE LAST SUPPER," JESUS AND THE DISCIPLES HEAD TO A GARDEN IN GETHSEMANE. [Note: she is referring to the Card Talk on “Jesus being pissed off that you fell asleep (Matthew 26:36-46)”]
2. Then you had to write this article: Jesus, literally, whipping your ass (John 2:15 When you became political and became a hypocrite by asking for money you lost all credibility!!!
This was the reason Jesus was angry about the worship and the temple being monetized to begin with. What the fuck?!?!?! We were enjoying your blog until you had to fuck it all up.
God Bless You.
[Because we’re being nice, we won’t post her phone number, which she decided to include]

Context: In response to us posting something mean about Trump. Calling him an “a racist asshole's dirty asshole.”
The whole exchange is here, but this is our favorite part:
That reflects more on you than him [Trump], especially since he is awful at most of those things. Trump, the man honored beside Mohammed Ali and Rosa Parks, works with people of various races in his administration, and is married to an immigrant is an awful racist. The man with more females in his administration than the previous administration makes an awful sexist (barring his comments in the past, as every single person has said things they shouldn't have at some point). The man photographed holding up a rainbow flag of "LGBT for Trump" can't really be a homophobe. And since Scripture specifically mentions homosexuality as a sin, we are called to love everyone regardless of what sins they have committed without compromising what Scripture says. A president who refuses to take a paycheck for his role in our government is an elitist? Sometimes, but you are acting the same way, so you really don't have a leg to stand on. And xenophobe? The man who married an immigrant and works with multiple countries. Sure, he may not want to let everyone from every country in, but he swore an oath for the betterment of this country, not everyone. As Christian's, we are called to reach and show love to the whole world, but a President's job is to serve their country. Maybe once we get everything straight in our own country can we start helping those in other countries from the government's standpoint. So, most of the things you accuse him of are just not factual.
This man has also taken a firm stance for the unborn, something that most of the people who you may claim do these things well refuse to do. I will always support a candidate who refuses to support abortion, as I can think of nothing as evil in our world today.
While it is my right, it is also my right to listen to what people of different beliefs say, and to argue with them when I think they are wrong if for nothing else so that others who read their posts can see more than just one misguided opinion. And I think that when you compare someone who responds calmly with facts to someone who responds in anger with name calling, you can see who has the "delicate sensibilities."

”good christian”: Gil Carton, head minister of The Brotherhood-Sisterhood of The Lamb Ministries, who may also be “The REAL Jesus Christ forever
Context: In response to clergy worries about Covid 19, we posted “Leaders: Cancelling events for the welfare of your people is NOT showing a lack of faith in God. It's showing why God should have faith in you.”
Another FALSE Ministry with FALSE WORKERS of DECEIT, CONS, LIARS, THIEVES and FALSE PROPHETS and PROPHETESSES of "the LORD" coming in the name of Jesus with seducing spirits and devils just like Paul! - The REAL Jesus Christ Forever
Mankind does nothing for My Father "God", The Word, Elohim for Him to do anything for them! All man does they do for their own pride of the hearts whose thoughts of the imaginations thereof are evil continually as they call upon "the LORD", the father of lies for their wants and needs! - The REAL Jesus Christ Forever

”good christian”: Chris
Context: We posted this (contains full interaction, including his attacks on various strangers).
why hide under an anonymous title. You’re just one of these geeks who played video games all day and too scared to stand up for yourself when you was in school. So now you have all this imaginary power. You can talk crap and insult people to make you feel good about yourself. Insult someone face to face, not internet to internet. You know God exists, you know it and you have felt it I guarantee. But God set out guidelines to live life successfully. But something in your life style is something that God doesn’t approve of. So instead of changing your life, you get on here ( anonymously ) and run down the Bible and say it’s make believe. It’s not make believe and you’re getting closer to finding that out for yourself. You’ll regret your whole life one day if you don’t change. It’s not too late, God didn’t turn his back on you, you turned your back on God. He’s still here for you. You was created by God like everything else was. You genuinely ask for God’s forgiveness and your sins and past are erased. You make fun of me and other Christians. I don’t want to see anyone go to hell. Non - believers make fun of Christians and say the Bible doesn’t make sense and it’s make believe, saying that we aren’t intelligent, but there you all are saying crap like 2 meteors collided and exploded and expelled a gas out that created the earth, ocean, space,, people, animals and everything out here. You say I can’t have an intelligent conversation, but you’re out here saying that crap. Come on, that sounds much more ignorant than any legit religion. The Bible is the only book to still be here that was here from the beginning. Everything has been destroyed, the Bible was written all them years ago, not today. Things are happening today that the Bible said would happen. But no, you’re probably gay and sucking cock is more important to you then your creator.

Context: We think they were responding to the post mentioned below.
Subject: Prophesy + Rebuke
On the date of Purim of some year, perhaps March 8-10, 2020, or a future Purim date, the "Strong Delusion" of 2 Thes. 2 will occur. This event will be the exact same event as the "Abomination of Desolation" in Matthew 24 + Daniel 12. It will be the president of Syria, Bashar Assad, evil be his name, appearing in Heaven during the war in Heaven of Revelation 12. Many people will worship him as god, since they see him coming in the sky. Exactly 30 days later on Passover + The 1st day of Unleavened Bread, Syria, Iran + Russia will invade + occupy Israel. At some point thereafter or perhaps the same day, Russia + China will invade + occupy the USA and Europe as well.
When you see all of this occur on the precise dates (be aware that most group's holy day calendars are always off 1-3 days), and precisely who (Assad) and where/how (in the sky) plus invasions, you will eventually come to realize that a true prophet of Jesus Christ contacted you. And the reason that I do, is your insane accusations and fight against Samson, the holy man of GOD, plus your nasty vulgar language that you used in the public article. I could see using "dick" if you are talking only to men. But to use that word in public in front of women and children, you are the one who should be ashamed of yourself, and not Samson. He was GOD's anointed and the bible warns against touching his anointed! Your articles reveal that you don't understand the bible at all. You have no business trying to teach and lead other people when you yourself do not have The Holy Ghost/Soul of Jesus Christ!
Plus, you worship YHWH which is NOT Hebrew, but is the Assyrian Islamic moon god, Al-Yah (The Yah = Allah). You do NOT worship The Almighty, but rather Satan!
Jesus Almighty WILL be bringing you down to your knees soon! Your card game will totally disappear by The Judgment Hand of Jesus Christ. You might think that all of this is just a game. But it's serious when you try to deceive people and fight a war against His Anointed!
I rebuke you in Jesus Holy Name!
Apostle Tim of I Saw The Light Ministries
P.S. I will NOT be emailing you EVER again. I won't be going back + forth with you. I have no interest in you beyond warning you of your impending judgment by Jesus. I will NOT be reading ANY reply from you, so don't waste your time.
Here's the tl:dr for the lazy: Judges does not present Samson as a hero. The context and structure of the book, as well as the context and structure of Samson's story all point to the same thing: Samson was a self-absorbed human being manipulated, not used, by God. He is an example to be avoided, not upheld.
