Vengeance is Mine; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly.”
For the LORD will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one remains…
Deuteronomy 32: 35-36
"Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops
James 5:16
Time to adjust our prayers - call on God for the downfall of the planners, influencers & enablers.

There's no call to kill anyone - if you had read carefully you would see that the only action I called for was peaceful resistance. It's NOT a case of "Kill 'em all & let God sort 'em out", it's actually just a case of:
"PRAY EARNESTLY THAT GOD WILL ACT TO BRING ABOUT THE DOWNFALL OF THE CONSPIRATORS".
Could that be any clearer? We don't do any of the "..sorting out", all we do is ask God to deal with those who are conspiring against liberty-loving human beings.
"Pray for their downfall" has nothing to do with violence against the perpetrators, and I would never call for that unless we were in full civil war mode, which we are not.
I don't think I can make it much clearer.
But it's nice to know that a pair of atheists happened by & made stunningly wonderful contributions to the thread within mere minutes of posting it.
I doubt very much that either of you read the full post, let alone considered it carefully or prepared any helpful questions.

Not sure what your point is? I guess the Exorcist could be viewed as a funny & relevant meme, but really I don't know whose side you're on here. The subject is quite serious though, it involves the wellbeing of humanity at large - so crass jokes probably aren't warranted, unless you're being deliberately ironic, in which case thanks?

"Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out"
Funny. You seem to have laid out the straight and narrow path for us.
Did you mean to?

Ultimately we get what we deserve in the Corpratracracy. I have so many options, it's confusing...Help me out, PR, Thailand or Spain.

Definitely not the PR or Spain.
Nice places in the Philippines if that's possible. Scouting for the right place is definitely required.
They speak against you with malicious intent; your enemies take your name in vain. Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD? And do I not loathe those who rise up against you? I hate them with complete hatred; I count them my enemies.
Second Palm~ Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.” Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
