What is the point of shutting down practically the entire country and destroying the economy only to not enforce it?

"You don't and that destroys the other argument you were trying to make."

It does no such thing. You are the one who suggested reality was scripted, and once you did that, all I had to do was agree that reality was scripted, for the sake of argument, and I won the argument, because if reality is scripted, that inherently means someone wrote the script.

"If that was the policy, snepts comment wouldn't be there for me to reply to"

First, I said it was a hypothetical thread, not this thread, and second, even if it were this thread, Snepts' comment would be there for you to reply to if the moderator didn't see the thread until some point after you replied, obviously. Your post would be considered off-topic, i.e., a tangent, i.e., a non sequitur.

"Tattoos on the forehead and hand had been in practice for masters to apply to their slaves back then."

This, and the rest of your rambling paragraph, is utterly irrelevant, i.e., the correlation is there either way, and it's an interesting one. ~2,000 years later, a quantum dot tattoo is proposed as proof that you have your "shots." And with this fiasco going on right now, i.e., rights being taken away, allegedly based on fear of a virus spreading, the idea of rights being taken away in the near future if you can't prove you've had your shots doesn't seem far-fetched at all, even though it would have seemed far-fetched just a few months ago. If someone's under house arrest because they don't have the mark proving they've been vaccinated, it would be difficult to buy or sell, wouldn't it? In other words, there's more to it than just the mark, there's also not being able to buy or sell without the mark, plus there's the vaccination tie-in as motivation to get the mark, which was the actual point of my posts on Reddit (I didn't need to make any posts pointing out the mark of the beast correlation, because that correlation is blatantly obvious):

Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy [pharmaceuticals] were all nations deceived.

"The "future" they divined looks ancient b/c it's not the future at all. Just a tall tale told and retold and written and rewritten that no reasonable person would take seriously as fact."

Your mere assertion is dismissed.

"Not to mention the illogic of the nature of this "revelation" of which you strangely seem to understand despite denying the implication that you had bought into the idea."

I never claimed to understand all of Revelation, and I never denied (or confirmed) the irrelevant implication that I had "bought into the idea."

"Tell me more about the "how" in all this."

How could I possibly know anything about the "how"?

"You say the terms would be"gibberish"."

Obviously.

"So they heard them? They read them?"

How should I know? You are the one who mentioned future terms, and future terms are inherently gibberish to people from the past, obviously.

"How can they "translate" gibberish into something that has meaning?"

Who said they did? If I were to speculate, I would speculate that whoever fed the author his visions used images and terms that the author was familiar with, because sending a vision is pointless if the recipient can't make hide nor hair of it. The rest of your paragraph consists of questions along the same line, i.e., based on the same false premise. Consider it dismissed.

"And last and certainly least, the master of logic answers my question with an infantile question. Lame attempt at deflection noted. What are you afraid of? Are there words out there that you won't stand behind now, perhaps? Gee, the debater is awfully quiet about that one. I wonder what I should conclude from that...."

You ask a question which is an utter non sequitur, and somehow I'm logically obligated to give you a serious answer? LOL at that, and LOL at you too, you know, while I'm at it. Find someone else to interview about random stuff; I'm not interested.
