I see, there is no difference between COVID-19 and any other corona virus. Except maybe the fact that it is far more deadly. How many people has the common cold killed this year?
Again, when it comes to the virus passing through a porous cloth mask it doesn't matter whether it's deadly or not. If masks can't stop common cold Coronaviruses then it isn't going to stop Covid.
But they can. That’s why the CDC wants us wearing masks.
The CDC might want to consult their own studies before making such ridiculous demands. According to a New England Journal of Medicine editorial, it is acknowledged that masks don't work but are a necessary placebo to make people think they're doing something and to make government look like it's doing something even though they aren't. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2006372
Do you truly care for the dead? To be brutally honest I'm not God I cannot care about 160,000 people in this country dying nor can I care about the millions dying in Africa over the years from disease and starvation that if we had not shut down the country that money could have saved perhaps 10 million peoples lives across the planet. If you put the money you spend on masks could you save the life of a half dozen starving children with it? I don't know. The thing is people have this idea that they are saving lives by wearing a mask when most likely they are just delaying deaths of people that will sooner or later get infected and maybe die anyway because we cannot live in isolation forever.
Genius logic, I'm impressed by your intelligence! Good plan. Everybody stop wearing masks and donate the money you save to Africans. That should fix things. Do you think you are immune to this virus? If you don't leave home no problem but don't spread your disease to my 80-year-old mother. Aren't you a Christian? Try caring about other people. It's one of those things us Christians do (I guess, not so sure now)
If you are not wearing a mask in a public place you need to be called out. You're a Christian right? Act like one and show at least half a care for other human beings. You might not have symptoms. You might never get symptoms, you could still have the virus and smear it all over everywhere you go. I don't care if your mother dies a horrible wretched death. By not complying that is what you are telling the world.Yeah, there's another name for such folks going around, but as I'm advocating for stopping the name calling I better not use it...
The best thing we can do, imo, is not engage with them because it's a no win situation. I had one such person "call me out" recently. I just said, "thank you" and walked away. Even though I had a lot of good responses I would have loved to use!
Speaking of saving lives, we build our immune systems by exposure to germs and naturally fighting illness. Those who have been super-sanitizing themselves and their children, using antibiotics unnecessarily and introducing other poisons into their bodies are placing a great risk to their health by degrading their immune systems. When the masks and gloves come off, those people will not have the same resistance as those of us who care for our bodies and live normal lives. I hope the fallout from that situation doesn't pose a REAL health emergency.
Wow, a Christian complaining about having compassion. That's a new one. There is no "other way" to see this. Either wear a mask or risk other people's lives. 1+1=2. Any questions? It's easy math. It's not at all selfish for me to want my mom to keep living. It IS selfish to risk other's lives because you don like wearing a mask or even a bandana is better than nothing and then feeling righteous for spreading disease everywhere is something I have never heard of. People are not self righteous for asking others not to risk the health of their parents. There is literally no good reason not to. People just don't like being told what to do like 5 year olds. Real men and real women do what's requires of them. Get over your disdain for society and participate. You don't look smarter, if fact it's the opposite.
Why don't we all just contract HIV so we can build up our immune systems? Nobody needs to use chemicals. Soap and water and a mask are fine. Or should we not wash our hands after we poop to build our immune systems?
Glad we agree. Now, do you really think we need to be exposed to Corona in order to get immunity from it? I haven't heard that from any doctor I can think of
Unfortunately being a republican or conservative has become equally important in the minds of many evangelical church leaders. Instead of following the law, they can be chomping at the bit to fight the “liberals.” And this can destroy the testimony of Christ and set a terrible example for the members in the body. I would say based on what you have described that you are following the lead of the Holy Spirit and the elders of your church may be unintentionally allowing their pride and nationalism to drown out the Holy Spirit. Remember where there is a spirit of pride or a spirit of rebellion (even if cloaked in “protecting religious freedom”) there is NO spirit of God.
Very true. I used to go to a church where the church council was in charge of everything. They get a new Pastor every 6-18 months. If he does something they don't like he gets bounced out of there as soon as they can send a new Pastor.
