A shameless high-pressure verbal strategy used by a fake/insincere Bible-blabber merely in an attempt to manipulate others into doing what he wants, convert to his faith and/or join his church, etc.; said strategy involves speaking vehemently about "The Great J.C." and how He met His untimely demise.
A local druggie tried to cross-reference me into trying some of his crap --- claiming it was "divine matter from The Holy Spirit Himself" --- but I just shruggingly waved him off.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue?
