And if I'm wrong the only person who is harmed is me and then only slightly because wearing a mask isn't a serious problem.

If the anti-maskers are wrong PEOPLE DIE.


Wide is the path to hell. It's an easy walk full of all sorts of freedom.

Whoa! Slow down! Eat a cookie - pet a kitten, take a break! Sounds like you are going to have a stroke.

...except you aren't an expert and thus your "conclusions" on matters of healthcare are probably not worth the toilet paper you smear it on.

And neither are you my friend.

Such high drama in a statement not backed by science. You should come to a state and live in the freedom we enjoy.

Hear, hear! In DFW we wear masks at times, don't at others, everyone seems cool with it depending on the establishment. It was never as bad here as some have portrayed it in their locales. People get tired of anything after a while, especially when the goalposts are always moving just out of reach. Even the weakest BS Meter pegs OVERLOAD eventually.

Plus there is the issue of causation vs correlation.
What percentage of those people refusing to take the vaccine are Republican supporters, what percentage are Tucker Carlson fans, what percentage are QAnon fans?
And what percentage are left wing all natural medicine types? That's a big movement right there.
Not liking pharmaceutical companies isn't a right wing thing.

Just calling out stupidity when I see it. When that stupidity threatens me I get mad.

And neither are you my friend.

Why on earth would I want to be YOUR friend? You highly overestimate your appeal.

What if the anti-maskers are WRONG?

Why can't any of you answer that question?

I think it's because you know in your heart of hearts what the answer is and it won't be easy to justify before the Throne .

So you think God's first question is going to be why we didn't mask up?

In my heart of hearts I know when the time comes that I stand before my Lord and Savior my justification will not be based on anything I have done beyond accepting Christ as my Savior. His shed blood is the only justification I need.

To make this conclusion you would be better to know what percentage of highly educated medical proffessionals are refusing to take vaccines.
I said "probably." ;) But I would add now that it's often pointed out that the opponents of vaccination whom pro-vaxxers frequently characterize as rubes or morons actually are people who've really studied the evidence. Or quite a few of them have done so, at any rate.

You've just lost your argument. :wave:

You are dismissing, not accepting, the consensus of experts.

Not at all - I fully understand and recognize both points of view for and against - Because I do not agree with one set of experts over another is not dismissive - it is called thinking for oneself.

No, it is called Dunning Kruger.

But at least we've established you're not doing what I'm doing.

This is my biggest problem with Christianity. There is zero moral accountability for Christians and here we have a Christian celebrating having no moral accountability. Flippantly cause pain and suffering of hundreds, rob people blind, and it’s all good. And then people in the religion have the audacity to expect me to give them the benefit of the doubt because they are a Christian. In my experience Christians are no better morally than anyone else and often worse because their religion gives them a “Get Out of Jail Free” card.

You're profile says "Seeker". What's up with all your "God-talk"? Wrath and anger are coming for the unbeliever, not the Believer. Get it straight.
