[Being abandoned to the lusts of your flesh is Hell on Earth]
When you can not trust your thoughts, it is witchcraft that is working on you. Jesus can give you the victory.
When the wrong thought crosses your mind, just say to yourself "this is witchcraft." Etch that into you memory. The Holy Spirit will hear your plea and send the evil thought running. Stand firm behind your convictions and you will receive the confidence you need.
My IQ was 144 last time I had it checked.

144?
Well I got you beat.
Wanna compare dicks now?
144, but working assiduously to lower it.
Or didn't you know an awful lot of people who are Mensa members are arrogant jerks?
I seriously doubt you have a 144 IQ. Scoring high on IQ tests require a fluidity and flexibility of thought that your average fundie simply does not possess or desire, but I suppose it is at least theoretically possible. More than possible if you took the test on-line, pretty damn likely if you took that ridiculous one over at Tickle.com that most people brag about.
See, this is why I doubt that you have a 144 IQ: you say your IQ was "144 last time [you] had it checked." No one just goes out and has their IQ "checked," man. Do you get it checked semi-annually, like your colon, or is it more of a bi-weekly thing? Only those who are insecure in their intelligence worry about their "IQ." Einstein never bothered to take an IQ test, and neither has Hawking. It simply does not matter. People that brag about their IQ are like those guys back in high school that used to brag about how much sex they were getting. You could pretty much guarantee those guys were the virgins in the room.
If you are intelligent, your intelligence will be obvious to all those around you, if you are not intelligent, no amout of boasting about numbers will make you seem so. The fact that you claim "wrong thoughts" are "witchcraft" being worked against you speaks volumes about your level of intelligence, and makes most of us suspect you forgot to put the decimal point between the two 4's in your IQ boast...
No, MercyBurst, you've got it wrong. It's actually an imbalance in your humors, caused by corn goblins. You've obviously been eating corn when there is a full moon and the goblins have taken over your mind.
I prescribe leeches and bile chanting.
I tested rather highly on two IQ tests as a kid. Given that a) I was rather rudely put in my place for innocently advertising it as a kid, and b) I've grown up to be a thoroughly fucked up individual who can't seem to finish anything, I don't advertise that fact because, frankly, it doesn't matter. It's never done a damn thing for me.
'When the wrong thought crosses your mind, just say to yourself "this is witchcraft."'
When I hear that I think to myself, "This is self-indoctrination."
"My IQ was 144 last time I had it checked."
Checked by whom?
IQ is not something you "have checked". That terminology, coupled with the fact that fundies are, as many have pointed out before me, by definition narrow-minded and uncreative - which more often than not indicates an average to low IQ, suggests to me that you do not have an IQ of 144. The rest of what you're saying is, well, fundie nonsense.
"When you can not trust your thoughts, it is witchcraft that is working on you."
That sounds more like fundeism.
"My IQ was 144 last time I had it checked."
You do not check IQ by standing on a scale.

MerdeBust, you ignoramus, that flat piece of equipment with the sliding balances that gave you the figure 144 when you stood on it at the doctor's office was NOT a device for meaasuring IQ.
P.S. You could stand to lose a few pounds.
Sorry for being pedantic, just one or two mistakes need to be corrected to make your little homily clear. 1) cannot rather than can not. 2) I think you made a typo, if you replace the word witchcraft with paranoia, it begins to read a lot clearer. You do have an original picturesque approach to use of the English language, “.. the evil thought running”, I just cannot get the thought, of an evil thought running for its life, out of my mind, out of my mind. Mind you it may be one of those “wrong thoughts” , or it may not.
How do you know when you cannot trust your thoughts? Is it the thought, that you cannot trust you thoughts, not trustworthy and hence you can trust your thoughts?
Oh this is all too confusing for my poor brain, perhaps I think I need an IQ check up also. Wait a minute, “ I think I need an IQ
.” That think could be a wrong thought
MB, any time you 'etch' ridiculous fairytale bullshit into your memory, you lose a substantial number of IQ points.
My score from age 11 is the only indicator I have...my teacher surrepititiously provided me access to a tabulation that showed my IQ to be roughly double that of my friends...talk about social isolation...at least teacher had the decency to keep this dirty little secret from my friends.
I was in gifted class all throughout my school life. People with high IQs merely engage in more grandiose and spectacular forms of stupidity, like the one kid who said Che Guevara was a "monkey dude with a Jew fro" while painting pretty pictures in the kitchen of the special ed building. Quoting your "high" IQ, generously assuming you're not lying about it, doesn't count for anything.
Possible Retorts:
That was a smudge, not a one.
No, they just said that you were grossly unintelligent
IQ stands for intelligence quotent, not heart rate after working out.
Did you miss a decimal point somewhere?
I.Q. stands for Intelligence Quotient and was so named for its original definition of 100 x (Mental Age) / (Physical Age). Hence it is entirely possible that the last time MercyBurst had their IQ checked was when they were 12 months old, at which point they had a mental ability of a 17 month-old.
Judging by the rest of the post, that's about the point MB's mental development stopped.
Ok, subtrat 100 from that and we have a more plausible answer.
This may shock you, but if you really had an IQ at all, you would know that thoughts that are lustful are part of human nature. Not witchcraft. Do you honestly think that everyone who isn't a christian is trying to curse you and make your life miserable? In reality, it is the opposite. Christians make life a pain in the ass for anyone who is not exactly like them. Cry about persecution again why don't you!
When you can not trust your thoughts, it is witchcraft that is working on you. Jesus can give you the victory.
No, when you can't trust your thoughts, you may be going insane (either that or you are being fed bad data)
When the wrong thought crosses your mind, just say to yourself "this is witchcraft." Etch that into you memory. The Holy Spirit will hear your plea and send the evil thought running. Stand firm behind your convictions and you will receive the confidence you need.
How exactly am I supposed to tell the difference between a good thought and a bad thought? Especially if I can't trust them.
My IQ was 144 last time I had it checked.
A real IQ test isn't something you'd want to do more than once. It takes several days and a lot of hard questions. There are also several different kinds of intelligence, and a person can do brilliantly on one part of an IQ test but do horribly on another.
As for online tests... yah uhuh. Those are sooo reliable, why, the last time I checked, I'd be Legolas's perfect wife!
The logic is weak with this one, Hmmm?
So...Uhhh, hormones and genetic predisposition to liking a certain sort of person are just spells.
So someone put a lust potion in all of our ancestor's drinks one day and it's stayed in us?
riiiiiiiiiiiiight...
IQ don't mean shit. Some of the smartest people in the world can be very stupid. Asia Carrera made big money in the porn industry but was caught financially flat-footed when her husband was killed, and she's known to be quite intelligent. Chessmasters are notoriously strange people -- Alekhine had a weird fascination with his cat, Garry Kasparov is a fan of several very weird pseudohistorical theories, and Bobby Fischer is just outright insane. Not to mention nerds often fail to get laid even though they're just the sort of people who should be able to figure out how to get more tail than anyone else. (Eric Raymond claims to be pretty good, and he's an ugly motherfucker, so he must be doing something right.)
quite clever actually. He's externalising all his wicked thoughts and blaming someone or something else. That means if he fails and succumbs to "sin" it's not his fault. A quick exorcism and he's home-free.
In his mind and those of his fellow self-delusionists
Actually, IQ is not really a mesure of intelligence. A high IQ just means you're more likely to get high grades in school with less work.
Apart from that... yeaaaa... you can be a total ass with a 250 IQ.

Come on, guys, this is the best part!
'cause, it sounds like a Hell of a Hell to me!
An IQ of 144?
My IQ was 144 last time I had it checked
So what? My average IQ over all my life time is 105... and I got two masters and a PhD, I had to work for.
IQ is just a freaking number, let it go, dude!
(btw: you were talking non-sense)
All logic is witchcraft!
lol
“When you can not trust your thoughts, it is witchcraft that is working on you.”
Lots of things in the body either demand a lot of attention from the brain, or dump hormones into the bloodstream, by the design of the body. No need for witchcraft at all.
“Jesus can give you the victory.”
“My IQ was 144 last time I had it checked.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
