perverse miracle

a{n alleged} miracle that serves no purpose or is actively evil. For example, in the Apocryphal New Testament, in the book *Protevangelion*, XI. Mary's immaculate conception has caused immense turmoil for Joseph and Mary, not merely because Joseph assumes Mary has conceived with another mortal, but also because she does so far too soon. This is therefore resolved by more miracles, that fail to convince anyone (xi.19). In XIII., Joseph has to get a midwife, and finds that time has stopped (so he can find her quickly?). But in the following chapter, the midwife is useless and Mary delivers miraculously too. So there was no point at all to the miracle.

Other examples: a story in the Talmud of a slain holy man's blood, which bubbled miraculously on the spot where he was killed. Nebuchadnezzar is said to arrive there after his conquest of Jerusalem and demand to know why the blood bubbles. When he finds out, he believes he has to appease the spirit of the holy man and so he "sacrifices" 80,000 people on the spot where the blood bubbles. Wouldn't God stop the bubbling just to get Nebuchadnezzar to stop murdering people there?

If Bush was a perverse miracle sent from God to punish our nation for its wickedness, then would it not have been more godlike to make us less wicked--instead?

They're all chickens. The rooster has sex with all of them.

That's perverse.

Perverse Psychology

Being brutally and truthfully honest with an individual (in a humourous way) with no intention of changing the person at all. In the end having the person laughing about their own faults and inadequacies. Unlike reverse psychology where you say the opposite to get the result you want.

Me: We laughed so hard at Jake trying to understand big words...dumb fuck doesn’t get it
Friend: is he gonna learn?
Me: no. It’s just funny. Right Jake?
Jake: so funny.
Friend: that’s perverse psychology?
Jake: huh?
