With any luck, my god will make her drown next time she goes down the Panama City Beach for spring break, after all, my God hates hipsters.

Somthing Witty · 14th March 2011, 02:28 PM

Are we still giving god credit for things science has explained? That doesn't seem very supernatural to me...give me a tsunami in Wyoming and I'll consider the possibility.

Well it is the strangest thing - the video has stopped three times at 59 seconds, but the slider at the bottom doesn't indicate how long it should be. But in those 59 seconds she doen't reference Japan at all. Just talks about praying for athiests

It's 3:50 or so. She talks about God "taking Japan by the shoulders and shaking it".

Youtube link, because I can't get the Gawker player to go right either. And the description:

"PRAISE GOD FOR ANSWERED PRAYERS!!! GOD ANSWERED US AFTER JUST 1 DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYING! HE RATTLED THE ATHEISTS IN JAPAN!! THE REST OF THE WORLD BETTER BE READY! 1 DAY OF PRAYER = 9.0 EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN! I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT 40 DAYS OF PRAYER WILL DO!"

I would probably like to see a copy of the prayer she said. And if she specifically requested Japan be snotted I would have to question her humanity

I am more interested in her connecting her prayer with the events. Perhaps she said, dear God show the athiests your greatness" next day earthquake hits and she connects the dots

If she said - Dear God please flatten northern Japan with an 8.9 earthquake, I think I would be impressed and encouraging her to go for Randi's million dollars

I took it that he'd be impressed if a single person's prayer to destroy entire cities because a non-0 percentage of the population is atheist was actually followed through.

You'd think in this day and age with so many countries and people, a god would decide it is time to appear in many corners of the globe, in the same language as the people. Get with the times, gods!

Joey McGee · 14th March 2011, 08:13 PM

Super obvious Poe. I'm embarrassed for all of the people who've taken it seriously. Even PZ Myers totally took the bait! He posted it as if it was real, and then later in the comments said this "Poe was my first thought, too...but then I saw that she had over 40 videos like this. Either she's the real deal, or she's a little too freakishly obsessed with playing this game." Oh my God PeeZee just got pwned by a teenage girl! Yeah, PZ, one of those videos ends with ""If God doesn't exist, who wrote the bible? Think about that one..."

So the reason these trolls exist is that they provide a service, they expose the fact that most people care less about being right or wrong about a claim, and more about being better than other people. It's sad that human psychology is shaped in this way but I think the point is that we need to recognize it and move on

Foster Zygote · 14th March 2011, 08:15 PM

Poe's Law

ETA: I still don't quite get the psychology behind such relentless parody (assuming it is. She could just be bat-poop crazy). It strikes me as akin to saying "Ha! The jokes on you! I only **** my pants so that you would have to smell it!".

Interesting, from the Wiki link, it could be a case either way

Skeptic Ginger · 14th March 2011, 08:32 PM

She calls it "lentel season" She ecstatic thinking the tsunami is God's way of telling atheists that God exists. And she's ecstatic because the tsunami is her idea of God answering the prayer to show atheists God exists.

In one breath she praises her amazing loving God and in the next she's ecstatic God is amazingly vengeful.

Here's a link to her actual site that plays fine: http://www.youtube.com/user/tamtampa.../6/7UmotTE-VlY

I say don't waste your time paying attention to this tripe.

I don't think it's a hoax. She spends too much time making videos extolling her love for God and hate for atheists.

Look at how many people who consider themselves skeptics, rationalists and evidentialists are getting pwned by this completely obvious poe. Exposing hypocrisy has always been a fun past-time.

A perfect example! What because she's so persistent in her trolling she must be real? This is how we make final judgments on people? It's only 40 short videos over the course of a year. Did you actually watch any of those videos?

bruto · 14th March 2011, 09:28 PM

We'll have to wait and see what Pat Robertson has to say about it, I guess.

At least we have Glenn Beck to fall back on:

Quote:

God -- what God does is God's business, I have no idea. But I'll tell you this: whether you call it Gaia or whether you call it Jesus -- there's a message being sent. And that is, 'Hey, you know that stuff we're doing? Not really working out real well. Maybe we should stop doing some of it.' I'm just sayin'.

Joey McGee · 14th March 2011, 09:46 PM

People, there is zero doubt that she is a POE. I just saw a video from some genius who thinks he has found her real name and a place where she posts online. Except for that he's found her posts at landoverbaptist.net, a troll site! How hilarious!

NOT FUNNY is the fact that some really stupid/mean people thought they had exposed her real address and phone number..., which led to this

"I am the real Pam Foreman and some disturbed individual incorrectly posted my name and address to this video. I would like everyone to know that when you do stupid things to innocent people, it can be very devastating. I don't know who this girl is or where she lives, but I am positive it's not at my address. We are currently under the watch of the Sheriffs department because some idiots lack of judgement has resulted in mine and my children's lives being threatened. CHECK YOUR FACTS"

Joey McGee · 14th March 2011, 11:01 PM

She just admitted it! Wow will all of the people who bought it realize that there's a lesson in all of this or will they further chastise her for fooling them? lol, oh, the internets.

I did. I watched 3 of them and read some of the notes.

I'm not saying it's 100% certain that it's not a spoof. But I think she looks like a real idiot, not a clever satirist. Do you think she called Lent, lentil, on purpose? Look at the Westboro idiots. It's a similar message.

And she's ecstatic because the tsunami is her idea of God answering the prayer to show atheists God exists. In one breath she praises her amazing loving God and in the next she's ecstatic God is amazingly vengeful. Here's a link to her actual site that plays fine: http://www.youtube.com/user/tamtampa.../6/7UmotTE-VlY I say don't waste your time paying attention to this tripe. I don't think it's a hoax. She spends too much time making videos extolling her love for God and hate for atheists.

Google seems to suggest I am wrong

She could just be bat-poop crazy). It strikes me as akin to saying "Ha! The jokes on you! I only **** my pants so that you would have to smell it!". Look at how many people who consider themselves skeptics, rationalists and evidentialists are getting pwned by this completely obvious poe. Exposing hypocrisy has always been a fun past-time.

What because she's so persistent in her trolling she must be real? This is how we make final judgments on people? It's only 40 short videos over the course of a year. Did you actually watch any of those videos?

At least we have Glenn Beck to fall back on: Quote: God -- what God does is God's business, I have no idea. But I'll tell you this: whether you call it Gaia or whether you call it Jesus -- there's a message being sent. And that is, 'Hey, you know that stuff we're doing? Not really working out real well. Maybe we should stop doing some of it.' I'm just sayin'. Read more: http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2011...#ixzz1GdgVfzi7

I just saw a video from some genius who thinks he has found her real name and a place where she posts online. Except for that he's found her posts at landoverbaptist.net, a troll site! How hilarious! NOT FUNNY is the fact that some really stupid/mean people thought they had exposed her real address and phone number..., which led to this "I am the real Pam Foreman and some disturbed individual incorrectly posted my name and address to this video. I would like everyone to know that when you do stupid things to innocent people, it can be very devastating. I don't know who this girl is or where she lives, but I am positive it's not at my address. We are currently under the watch of the Sheriffs department because some idiots lack of judgement has resulted in mine and my children's lives being threatened. CHECK YOUR FACTS"
