Well he does have all the answers–that’s why they call him a “whys guy.”

**Mr Quatro** ’s appeal to a higher power [has been shut down](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20764910&postcount=46). I think it’s a good bet that **Bone** is in for some divine retribution:  
And the Lord God said unto **Bone** , “Art thou the one who turned away from my servant the prophet **Quatro** in his hour of need, and declined to let him speak to the multitudes, that he might once more make many prophecies? Know ye that ye shall feel the wrath of the Lord thy God, for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.”  
_– probably somewhere in the Bible. Try to find one without holes in it._

You better not mock God like this. If you do, he’ll send Satan to the White house disguised as a human, with beady red eyes, flared nostrils, orange hair and little tiny hands. You heathens want that in the White house?

If Quatro \*really \*wants to earn his prophet cred, he needs to lie around in public for a few months cooking his food over burning poop.

The Old Testament Prophets, hell, even Jesus and Mohammed stood bravely in front of crowds and preached, even in the midst of opposition.

Samuel may have constantly railed at God for giving him a job that he didn’t want to do, but he still did it.

Mr Quatro whines that the mods won’t reopen a thread rather than actually making the effort of opening a new one, as several people, myself included, instructed him to do.

He can’t be much of a True Prophet of God if he’s too lazy and stupid to do the job.

Speaking of the nutty, I mentioned a while back (I think maybe in OTRU thread?) that I had ran across someone who was banned before my time while browsing the archives who was constantly talking about the paranormal and his NDE, but couldn’t remember the name. I just did some searching and dug him up–it is [lekatt](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=16757148#post16757148), and he made Mr Quatro’s prophesies sound sane by comparison.

_One night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster  
The bars are temples but the pearls ain’t free  
You’ll find a god in every golden cloister  
And if you’re lucky then the god’s a she  
I can feel an angel sliding up to me_

God lives in Bangkok.

So why is his username **Mr Quatro**? It means “Mister 4.” Wouldn’t he model himself after the Holy Trinity and be **Mr Tres**?

I don’t know about anymore but lekatt used to have a pretty wide ranging internet presence. He always used the same name and he wrote the same type of posts everywhere.

I agree, modern day prophets are just whiny and lazy. Moses spent forty years leading his people through the desert, Quatro finds clicking the ‘New Thread’ button to be too much work for him.

I say this because it’s fun to joke about, but it really does weaken his case to be speaking God’s message. If I believed that God was personally handing me prophecies of the future, it would be the most important thing in my life. I’d be posting them everywhere that I could as often as I could get away with (getting banned for spamming would hurt me getting the message out), and telling them in person as much as I can while still keeping a job, unless I was able to get enough donations to spread them full time. From what I see of modern ‘prophets’, though, they don’t seem to have any drive, which makes me question whether they really believe it deep down or if they subconsciously realize that they just have a delusion or attention-seeking idea.

Also, by following this thread in addition to discovering that this is the guy who thinks that recreational sex is not currently legal, I learned that one Supreme Court justice had no known religious affiliation, which I find utterly fascinating.

I think you’d find that God usually sounds exactly like the person claiming to speak on God’s behalf.
