Tim Robbins shared that while he used to get angry at people who didn’t follow COVID protocols, he now looks back on the attitude toward the unvaccinated as ‘incredibly dangerous.’

(LifeSiteNews) — An Academy Award-winning actor denounced the demonization of the unvaccinated during the COVID-19 outbreak and regrets his own anger toward those resisting standard anti-COVID policies such as masking.

Tim Robbins, famous for his leading role in the beloved film The Shawshank Redemption, decriedthe effect that COVID health “doctrine” “had on us as human beings” on British comedian Russell Brand’s December 18 podcast.

“We turned into tribal, angry, vengeful people,” Robbins said. “I don’t think that is something that is sustainable for the earth. That we start demonizing someone who doesn’t agree with our particular health policies and turn them into monsters. Turn them into pariahs. Say that they don’t deserve a hospital bed.”

I sometimes don't think people realize how dangerously close we are getting to things that only a short memory ago would have been incomprehensible. Today's technology allows every news story to be politically exploited to its last politically advantageous drop. Demonization being a major part of it. I sometimes wonder how Jews or other persecuted groups of the past feel when what truly being under the oppression of evil means is so cheapened and desensitized. The Hyperbole seems to make a mockery of their experiences in the past.

I am reminded of Jesus' words. What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul (Matthew 16:26)? It reminds me that their are some so bent on getting what they want or the way they want things to be, that they do not realize it comes at the cost of the destruction of everything. When you seek to destroy everything that stands in your way, what is actually left when you get to the end of your goal?

Yet these things come in such ripples, and become so commonplace in such a short period of time people barely notice. And perhaps when they finally do it will be too late for everyone. Let us then cling Christ, and hold tightly to the truth.

Sorry for my post. I just read where this particular sub-forum in the OBOB is for Roman Catholics only. I know there are others in OBOB that seem to be more open, but sorry if I upset any of my Catholic friends for for posting here. I will be more than happy to delete it if so. May the OBOB community be blessed today!

Thanks Michie for the clarification. I knew I was welcomed in the past, but just happened to read the statement on this sub-forum of OBOB and it seemed a little more strict, so wanted to make sure it was the same.

Yeah you are welcome here. It’s not that strict. It’s just about not debating the Faith or advocating things the Church is against. So you should be fine. :)

I find myself laughing at those who wear their masks with their noses uncovered. Technically complying with the stupid mandates but achieving absolutely nothing.

Hi Michie.. bless you and your family, happy Jesus birthday king of kings lord of lord. Oh just thinking about that.. It would have been something to hear the angels singing on that day.

Anyway yeah I was hearing how the left are starting to report more dying after having the vaccine and how the unvaccinated were never the problem. Something to that effect.

Oh and BLESS ALL here who love trust in Jesus Christ as lord.

It never achieved anything to begin with. Ever see that video clip where the guy takes a drag off a cigarette, puts on his face mask, and exhales? You can see all that smoke just puffing out of and through that mask----and, as the video pointed out, Covid particles are a lot smaller than cigarette smoke particles; that mask wasn't stopping anything. All they did was make the Woke zombies wearing them feel better about themselves.
I hardly ever see anyone wearing a mask these days. The only place where it's still mandatory where I go is the clinic.
Here, too. Literally the only place I see them being worn is inside medical clinics; and even then, once you get back into the exam rooms, even the doctors take the stupid things off.
