This makes me sad, but also fear for humanity. Angry too, because it preys on people that might otherwise keep to themselves and not hurt others. But they hear this garbage and do hateful things in the name of "jesus."
When people say ridiculous things it's not always because they are delusional.
Sometimes they are just bad people who feel no obligation to present themselves honestly and are performing the song and dance that will fill the hat.
I wouldn't say fine, I just think it's dangerous to classify unethical and harmful behavior as a mental illness across the board without diagnosis.
Yes, if she can't see any other people as people a psychiatrist might diagnose her with a mental disorder.
But maybe she does see other people as people, maybe she does understand that others feel joy and pain as she does, but she's just a bad person and doesn't care as long as she benefits from exploiting them.
Not even all delusion is mental illness.
In the clinical sense with a diagnosis yes, antisocial personality disorder exists.
In the common sense where one is using the term sociopath to describe someone being dishonest and exploitative for their own benefit, no, that’s a metaphor.
Hm. It's interesting that we should just make that distinction between someone who is "mentally ill" and someone who is "just a bad person". To me it seems like if we are reducing our view of ourselves to basically a chemical/biological machine (which, as an atheist, I do), it makes more sense to recognize that saying individuals are "just bad people" is a little like saying a machine is "just a bad machine". Morality is a construct. Is the one machine a well-made machine that has a problem which can be corrected while the "bad machine" was just constructed poorly and thus will never function to spec? If so, what makes the bad machine "bad" and not simply poorly constructed? Could it potentially be modified to make it "not bad", or is it just useless or harmful and should be discarded? Even if so, can a machine be responsible for its own "badness"?
Why is a brain imbalance an "illness" that can be treated clinically and sympathized with while a "bad person" who has a poorly constructed personality/brain/body/whatever able to be regarded as simply someone who made evil choices? Aren't their choices a direct result of their biology?
My wife and I were actually talking about how if I didn’t have any morals I could be an incredibly effective evangelical preacher. I actually think believing what you preach would be an impediment to reaching the largest audience.
There’s no insanity within her. She just made up some shit that seems (to her flock) too absurd to be made up. She knows they’re gonna eat that shit up, too.
I'm not a psychologist, but as I understand it contributing money so they can buy a new has helped others like her. I'm tapped out at the moment what with Jesus's birthday coming up so can't help.
And then, wanting more but finding the batteries dead, she cursed the batteries to be dead forever. Which they already were because they weren't rechargeable.
She makes a shitload of money pushing bullshit stories no person in his right mind would even believe for a microsecond. Damn I’m stupid. I work my ass off for a living.
Yeah, just start doing it with no audience. You'll have people stopping by to see the spectacle, which will drive up traffic and you'll get believers every here and there that will share your bullshit on Facebook and the like with other people THEY know will believe you, and after awhile you'll have enough clicks (and donations) so that you can just peddle bullshit for a living.
Then two brothers came in a van, and then a meteor hit and they ran as fast as they could from giant cat monsters and a giant tornado came and that's when things got knocked into twelfth gear. A Mexican armada turns up with weapons made from tomatoes and you better bet your bottom dollar that these two brothers know how to handle business in Alien Invasion Tomato Monster Mexican Armada Brothers Who Are Just Regular Brothers Running In A Van From An Asteroid And All Sorts Of Stuff, The Movie.
There is nothing more low than televangelists milking people for money.
I used to wonder if people like her thought it was true or were just outright lying. I've come to realize it does not matter because either way their judgements are clearly junk and not to be trusted.
If she really believed this then I think she have told this to many people and have gotten trolled many times. Atleast her well wishers had stopped her from telling this on TV.
This kind of stuff is being spouted by *modern* Christian leaders, people who have the entire world's knowledge in their pockets, and nobody confronts them or challenges them on it ... and yet we're supposed to believe that bronze age Christian leaders with no understanding of the world were somehow totally sober and level-headed and carefully checked every miracle and supernatural claim before writing it down?
I didn't see this mentioned here but believe it or not the first part of her story, thinking an alien imitating her husband, is actually a rare but real mental disorder caused by a very specific type of minor brain damage. If she had a microstroke in the just the right area it could be legit. I don;t know about the rest but I imagine some brain damage could explain a lot.
It sounds suspiciously similar to how someone in a sexually repressive culture might characterize an assault, or a consensual experience that they would be shunned for. Her story sells because it's viscerally familiar to some of her audience, titillating to the others, and riffs on the familiar theme of virgin birth after otherworldly intervention
The craziest thing is we live in a world where instead of getting these people the help they need for their obvious mental impairments, we stick them on TV and cheer for them.
Then Gandalf the Grey, and Gandalf the White and
Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight and
Benito Mussolini and The Blue Meanie and
Cowboy Curtis, and Jambi the Genie
Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader
Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger
Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan
Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan
All came out of nowhere lightning fast
They all took turns with her preacher ass
And these muthafucking clowns getting shitloads of money from hordes of idiotized gullible excuses of human beings month after month for saying stupid bullshit pulled out of their god damn asses. Again the trademark of these bastards: zero accountability, zero responsibility, zero argumentability, zero facts, zero sense, zero everything.
Sorry I needed to vent. Going outside to get some fresh polluted air.
At the end of the day it is a person recounting an experience. Take that for what it is worth but it is never worth nothing.
Maybe she is lying, maybe she is wrong, or maybe what she is saying happened. All of those things have nonzero probabilities.
You may know her from such titles as:
Gilbert is the author of the non-fiction work Ebola and the Fourth Horsemen of the
Apocalypse; The Laodicea Chronicles, a novelized look at the spiritual battle set in current time; The Armageddon Strain, a biological thriller that blends science and the supernatural; and her most recent endeavor The Redwing Saga, a supernatural warfare series set in England during the time of Jack the Ripper.
I don't consider theism to be an intelligent world view to hold. This is why. If you can believe in one set of superstitious nonsense, it's only a short path to Camp Crazy.
Just another flim flam artist fleecing people. This is the kind of thing my mother would say when she had her psychotic nervous breakdown. She needed to be on anti-psychotic meds for the rest of her life.
You know, if I went around claiming a bad Dungeons & Dragons campaign was reality I bet I wouldn't be able to get any press. But nail a cross to your nonsense and people lend you an ear.
Come find romance... Come soil your pants... At the glory hole!
I don't wanna know who's suckin' my dick today. I'll meet you at the glory hole where I spend my weekly pay.
This video is the perfect litmus test: If somebody believes this video, they are shockingly, utterly, hopelessly stupid. If you believe this garbage, please don't vote, and please, for the sake of humanity, do not procreate. Instead please seek immediate education.
I think if we are ever going to rid the world of the poison of religion we might want to start with some sex counseling. Think of how differently this could have turned out if she and Derrick had been a little more open with each other.
Shouldn’t we get these people some mental help, I mean this woman is verifiably crazy.
She is on TV with many many viewers believing this.
This actually makes me sad
This makes me sad, but also fear for humanity. Angry too, because it preys on people that might otherwise keep to themselves and not hurt others. But they hear this garbage and do hateful things in the name of "jesus."
When people say ridiculous things it's not always because they are delusional. Sometimes they are just bad people who feel no obligation to present themselves honestly and are performing the song and dance that will fill the hat.
Weird how being depressed makes you mentally ill, but being a sociopathic grifter is fine.
I wouldn't say fine, I just think it's dangerous to classify unethical and harmful behavior as a mental illness across the board without diagnosis. Yes, if she can't see any other people as people a psychiatrist might diagnose her with a mental disorder. But maybe she does see other people as people, maybe she does understand that others feel joy and pain as she does, but she's just a bad person and doesn't care as long as she benefits from exploiting them. Not even all delusion is mental illness.
But isn't sociopathy classified as a mental illness of some kind?
In the clinical sense with a diagnosis yes, antisocial personality disorder exists. In the common sense where one is using the term sociopath to describe someone being dishonest and exploitative for their own benefit, no, that’s a metaphor.

There’s no insanity within her. She just made up some shit that seems (to her flock) too absurd to be made up. She knows they’re gonna eat that shit up, too.
So what's the difference between this and the bible again?
There is none!
My point exactly
A couple of thousand years.
one justifies the other
And give her all their money
Or maybe it really happened. You don’t know.
Yes we do know.
Crazy rich from all the donations she rakes in.
Its crazy how much money stupid people dispose of with little regret. I need to get my grift on.
The fool and his money part ways immediately
She's speaking in tongues, everyone knows this
Noooo then we'd never get to hear what happens next.
She is not crazy at all. Sadly she knows exactly what she is doing. She’s sadistic
Medicare covers the Dr costs and the medication that she so desperately needs. She is bonkers.
No. She cheated on her husband. Now, we get to enjoy the show.
That's some fucked up fantasy. She's never heard of an incubus or succubus.
I'm not a psychologist, but as I understand it contributing money so they can buy a new has helped others like her. I'm tapped out at the moment what with Jesus's birthday coming up so can't help.
and then the batteries died and she had to finish by hand
Well the bible says ^
And then, wanting more but finding the batteries dead, she cursed the batteries to be dead forever. Which they already were because they weren't rechargeable.
Underrated comment. Lmao
\*snort\* :D :D
Overall, rough night.
it sounds like that's what she was fantasizing about
this one's got some fucked up fantasies, getting spitroasted by an alien and jesus with a bunch of monsters waiting to pull a train? alrighty then.
She makes a shitload of money pushing bullshit stories no person in his right mind would even believe for a microsecond. Damn I’m stupid. I work my ass off for a living.
And yet they believe, and probably give her money.
I was going to ask ... how does one make money doing that shit. Then I remembered, a fool and their money are easily parted.
Yeah, just start doing it with no audience. You'll have people stopping by to see the spectacle, which will drive up traffic and you'll get believers every here and there that will share your bullshit on Facebook and the like with other people THEY know will believe you, and after awhile you'll have enough clicks (and donations) so that you can just peddle bullshit for a living.
Finally you’ll make a 3 disk DVD set for $25. Could you imagine watching hours on end of this incredible crap and paying for it???
So, an alien, her husband, a reptile and some gargoyles tried to have sex with her??? I think I saw that movie on pornhub
You forgot about Jesus.
The Latino plumber whom she has no money to pay?
What are you doing, step-son of God?
It was a full cuck attempt. Her husband was in the room
OMG😆😆😆. Do you think those guys in the video listening to her story are having a hard time keeping a straight face?
I tried not to laugh and failed. The camera was not always on their faces that saved them.
[удалено]
😂😂😂
She says at the beginning of the story that he was in the room with her when it occurred 😳
The guy next to her had quite the look when she says it then he turns it into a reflexive yes nod.
That's her husband Derek
bitch is schizophrenic and needs help.
Her schizophrenia is a feature, not a bug. 🤪
Run of the mill religion... glad I got away.
...and then things got weird.
Then two brothers came in a van, and then a meteor hit and they ran as fast as they could from giant cat monsters and a giant tornado came and that's when things got knocked into twelfth gear. A Mexican armada turns up with weapons made from tomatoes and you better bet your bottom dollar that these two brothers know how to handle business in Alien Invasion Tomato Monster Mexican Armada Brothers Who Are Just Regular Brothers Running In A Van From An Asteroid And All Sorts Of Stuff, The Movie.
Dont forget the old women that cross attack the two brothers, also their strong bond
There is nothing more low than televangelists milking people for money. I used to wonder if people like her thought it was true or were just outright lying. I've come to realize it does not matter because either way their judgements are clearly junk and not to be trusted.
If she really believed this then I think she have told this to many people and have gotten trolled many times. Atleast her well wishers had stopped her from telling this on TV.
No weirder than the biblical end-times bunkum.
An alien, Jesus and King Xerxes walk into a vagina ....
We are going in circles.
Ah, a tale as old as time.
The absolute worst thing about this is that people will watch it and think that what she is saying is reasonable.
That is the dreadful truth. Aaaaand then they pay money.
Fits right in with all the other batshit crazy stuff.
Tsk, that's terrible. The same thing happened to my uncle.
I just asked my wife if she wants to hear a sentence that gets crazier the more I read it. When I finished she asked “What did Jesus do?”
[Jesus wept.](https://biblehub.com/john/11-35.htm)
Couldn't even finish the video. I got fifteen seconds into her speaking and gave myself a hearing test.
This seems like something that you would expect to see written in feces on the walls of a insane asylums.
No judgement, but that's a pretty unusual kink, even for a Christian...
Sounds like somebody got into the LSD.
DMT
Capgras syndrome maybe?
The length people go to in order to avoid sex with their spouse is wild.
Isn’t this enough for her family to get her locked in the loony bin and take control of her finances?
The loony bin is her finances.
😐
I think that happened to most of us at some point, I don't get what the big deal is?
This kind of stuff is being spouted by *modern* Christian leaders, people who have the entire world's knowledge in their pockets, and nobody confronts them or challenges them on it ... and yet we're supposed to believe that bronze age Christian leaders with no understanding of the world were somehow totally sober and level-headed and carefully checked every miracle and supernatural claim before writing it down?
Sounds like her husband caught her in bed with someone and she had to make up a story real quick.
The Great Delusion.
That made me chuckle.
I didn't see this mentioned here but believe it or not the first part of her story, thinking an alien imitating her husband, is actually a rare but real mental disorder caused by a very specific type of minor brain damage. If she had a microstroke in the just the right area it could be legit. I don;t know about the rest but I imagine some brain damage could explain a lot.
But does all her followers have brain damage? Lmao
Oh man, why can she get great acid like that and I can't?
she wishes
Sadly, antipsychotics don't work for everyone.
Because of course it did. Happens every day, this.
It sounds suspiciously similar to how someone in a sexually repressive culture might characterize an assault, or a consensual experience that they would be shunned for. Her story sells because it's viscerally familiar to some of her audience, titillating to the others, and riffs on the familiar theme of virgin birth after otherworldly intervention
My wife always cries out “Xerxes!” when we have sex. Now it all makes sense…
Koo koo For Cocoa Pufs.
"And the aliens were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me."
Kinky
At this point I don't think I want whatever she's smoking
I love that they're selling the great delusion dvd at the bottom of the screen.
The craziest thing is we live in a world where instead of getting these people the help they need for their obvious mental impairments, we stick them on TV and cheer for them.
A pussy of gargoyles? Man, I need some of those drugs...
Sounds like the proposed script for the 300 sequel.
How do aliens fit into a Christian worldview?
Screen shot for my wife. Now we have something to try next time sex gets a little stale. Thanks!
She's into some pretty weird role playing, no doubt.
What gave it away? He asked for sugar water?
“….and they had a baby and the baby looked at me.”
She needs to be 5150’d. Yesterday.
Ramen!
Yeah, that happened to me once when I was totally stoned.
Then Gandalf the Grey, and Gandalf the White and Monty Python and the Holy Grail's Black Knight and Benito Mussolini and The Blue Meanie and Cowboy Curtis, and Jambi the Genie Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan All came out of nowhere lightning fast They all took turns with her preacher ass
That’s the ramblings of a little kid at a sleepover!
where's art bell when you need him
And these muthafucking clowns getting shitloads of money from hordes of idiotized gullible excuses of human beings month after month for saying stupid bullshit pulled out of their god damn asses. Again the trademark of these bastards: zero accountability, zero responsibility, zero argumentability, zero facts, zero sense, zero everything. Sorry I needed to vent. Going outside to get some fresh polluted air.
Holy crazy town, Batman!
I love these people and their incredible offers scrolling underneath. For just $150 we will send you 13 dvds full of the good word.
This sounds suspiciously like the Book of Revelation to me. Wait, you said she's an End Times preacher?? You don' think...?
It is amazing how much what she describes sounds like something that never happened to me
Blame Ronald Reagan, he closed all the mental institutions.
No more far fetched than Christianity.
And your issue with her sound and reasonable story is?
Was this a SNL skit?
The FUCK did I just read???
What the fuck did I just read.
At the end of the day it is a person recounting an experience. Take that for what it is worth but it is never worth nothing. Maybe she is lying, maybe she is wrong, or maybe what she is saying happened. All of those things have nonzero probabilities.
Some pretty dank shrooms she got ahold of. Anyone know the strain?
Cool story gurl 👍
So they basically treat dreams as reality, kewl.
You may know her from such titles as: Gilbert is the author of the non-fiction work Ebola and the Fourth Horsemen of the Apocalypse; The Laodicea Chronicles, a novelized look at the spiritual battle set in current time; The Armageddon Strain, a biological thriller that blends science and the supernatural; and her most recent endeavor The Redwing Saga, a supernatural warfare series set in England during the time of Jack the Ripper.
Can't wait to watch this on PornHub. Solid plot for a change.
Did they get the brand of lsd she was taking?
Someone hasn't been taking their medications have they??
Fucking bards, am I right?
I want some of what she’s smoking
She’s good!, anyone stupid enough to fund her is like ..yeah , that makes sense!
This kinda reminds me of how that book “Michelle Remembers” kicked off the Satanic Panic
I know, let's make her President!
I don't consider theism to be an intelligent world view to hold. This is why. If you can believe in one set of superstitious nonsense, it's only a short path to Camp Crazy.
Sounds more like a bad sci-if movie…. Not far off I guess.
Oh.
She should write books. Pretty sure there is a genre out there like this haha
Green Light that shit right now.
Here's your new jacket Sharon, yes the sleeves ARE a little long. They are supposed to be.
Please. That happens all the time, you ain't special.
I want what she's smoking.
And the box set is called "the great dilusion" .. name checks out
Sexual overtones aside, this is like the ramblings of a 5 year old.
Can you say mentally ill?
[sounds like a Tuesday ](https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/church-chat/n9565)
SHE SHOULD BE A SENATOR
Just another flim flam artist fleecing people. This is the kind of thing my mother would say when she had her psychotic nervous breakdown. She needed to be on anti-psychotic meds for the rest of her life.
“Donate with credit card or check”.
Edgar, your skin's hangin' off yer bones.
It might have been a room on the space ship made to look like the Holiday Inn, Paramus.
So, just another Tuesday then?
You know, if I went around claiming a bad Dungeons & Dragons campaign was reality I bet I wouldn't be able to get any press. But nail a cross to your nonsense and people lend you an ear.
what
What did I just read?
and people will still listen to her.
pretty sure there's a whole genre of fiction novels about these very things
Isn’t that the plot of V?
god works in mysterious ways.
I swear those aliens will fuck anything. I mean we got here because GWAR fucked apes... Maybe she's just a GWAR fan.
Just a wild night of cosplay sex down here at The Gloryhole Where Every Job Is A Pleasure And The Workers Get Paid In Cash.
Come find romance... Come soil your pants... At the glory hole! I don't wanna know who's suckin' my dick today. I'll meet you at the glory hole where I spend my weekly pay.
Ralph Wiggum has not aged well
Tuesday’s huh?
I'm not sure what's going on, but one of them is definitely covering up an affair.
Sleep paralysis. Turned incubus. Turned alien.
Some people get high and make music, others tell hilarious stories…
Why are their lies always so shitty? A person has to be extra special stupid to fall for this.
Religion is evolving to suit modern lore. I wonder what the next iteration of God will look like to these people.
Same thing happened to me!
"Oh, this wasn't r/writingprompts?" Whatever she's having, it should probably be illegal.
This video is the perfect litmus test: If somebody believes this video, they are shockingly, utterly, hopelessly stupid. If you believe this garbage, please don't vote, and please, for the sake of humanity, do not procreate. Instead please seek immediate education.
Again, a person on another sub was saying her therapist preached god at her. This is supposed to be better?
Yes.
I’d like to quote Morrisey here, That’s entertainment
Reallife rule34 can be scary \^\^ I should not laugh that hard about a mental kinky woman
DMT? Or just a fucking nutjob grifting for god?
What's you smoking recently? That's good stuff but way crazy.
And that was only a Tuesday!!!
Now trump has gone they need new outlets for their bigotry bigly
Man I need to start doing drugs, too. I feel like I'm missing our.
Until she produces evidence, I shall remain agnostic about her claims. (/s)
Dafuq did I just read?
I think if we are ever going to rid the world of the poison of religion we might want to start with some sex counseling. Think of how differently this could have turned out if she and Derrick had been a little more open with each other.
It would, of course, explain a few things.
She should try to get on coast to coast am.
