Social Crazy Christians: Pastors Defy COVID Restrictions [UPDATE: (Cis, White) Gays Behaving Badly]

[Islam Imamate]

Everyone in here is mocking the Christians doing this, yet nobody will admit that, at a subconscious level, these Christians have achieved something they don't have.

They are willing to die for something they believe in. They have transcended, escaping the claws of the material world.

Its admirable that they've transcended fear of death but perhaps they shouldn't seek it out for themselves and others.

One of the articles says 71 people infected in one church, but how many idiots were infected and passing around the infection after going to Spring Break and worshiping the idol of debauchery?

I'm not trying to give a pass to the religious idiots going to Church and putting people's lives at risk, but there seems to be an overemphasis on the wrongs done by religious people as though the wrong-doing of a church, pastor or specific sect gives the justification to condemn and dismiss all religions and paint all religions and believers with the same brush. I also find it interesting that people are very quick to blame the bad things people do on religion, but never give recognition to the good things people do because of their faith.

Well as someone who lives near a Spring Break hot spot there were lots of people I knew who were livid at the young people for their carelessness and the governor for not closing the beaches. Even millenials were like "look that ain't us, its Gen Z!"

But overall I think you are right, in general people seem more bothered when the motivation is religion instead of consumerism or hedonism.

The bible says all kinds of weird stuff if you look. Like it says to keep the liquor stores open for sick people.

Proverbs 31:6-7




You could also argue about whether or not Leviticus 14 is meant to apply exclusively to leprosy or to diseases in general. No one ever counts that though, since it is factually wrong and a weird thing to do.

My goodness... You guys just randomly choose bible verses.

lol

In the biblical days there was no medicinal treatment for those who were perishing. So it wasn't uncommon to give them a drink to ease the pain. It'd be the equivalent of saying, "hey, you're on your death bed and in terrible pain...Here's some oxy, some morphine, etc" to ease the pain. It's said to let it be for THOSE who are perishing or sick not for recreational use to go out and get smashed.

Looks like pastors in California are suing the state for coronavirus restrictions that “criminalize” their ability to practice their religion.

A map of the current guidelines and exemptions.

The biggest problem here is obviously that they not only to continue putting their congregation herds at risk, but anybody else they'll come into contact with outside of their places of worship. It can only possibly serve to exacerbate a public health crisis and prolong the disastrous economic shutdown.

Holy shit... I came in expecting this OP was going to be a joke. Wow.

Sounds pretty standard for the WR if we're being honest.

In my expereince I saw a lot more anger heaped onto the Spring Break crowd , by the media and public.

Poor OP. He got triggered by the post about Paki Muslims thinking God was protecting them from China virus so he made this thread. I doubt you'll have trouble finding a smattering of Jews as well that think they're protected or a half dozen other religions.

Too bad for him it's the mainstream of Muslims that are inclined to believe this versus a dozen churches in the US. From the article of that post:

"More than 60% of the coronavirus cases in Pakistan have so far been linked to Muslims returning from pilgrimages in the Middle East and followers of the Tablighi Jamaat, an orthodox proselytizing group."

It was a month ago, and a lot of them were publicly expressing regret afterwards once the US government got serious. We're Post-Easter now and these cunts are still at it.

Uh um uh. I don't really know. Just heard some stuff from a friend of a friend. Um, back in college

Holy shit... I came in expecting this OP was going to be a joke. Wow.

Why though? And you know these folks are batshit.

I don’t get why Christians act so lame sometimes lol. They will risk their very physical lives over a non-physical, make believe monster.

Just lol

How is your mask holding up. I love living rent free in your head.

What's your beef with Luba?

I have no beef with anyone here. I don’t like misinformation and hidden agendas.

That kind of misinfo?

@Lubaolong is a physician / internal medicine IIRC.

 

[Lubaolong]

How is sharing a Newsweek story about pastors filing a lawsuit misinformation?

Keep on white knighting people. You vouched for @AgonyandIrony who in everything I have seen him post is all about his self centred life. Ergo.

@Lubaolong is just a flu bro, yet supposedly a physician.

Lol at you.

They are not alone. Some in NY are still breaking distance requirements. It's not as fun to call them names though, or to call NYC a shithole.

Both sides instinctively belittle and attack those they deem different than themselves

To be fair, @AgonyandIrony is a cool guy. Hes just getting hit with some shit right now.

@MVelsor is a great guy. He just falls into the trap he criticizes certain groups of doing. Judging groups because of the crazies within those groups

Not sure who's a flu bro. But more and more doctors are coming out saying they believe many more of us have/have had this virus. Making the mortality rate shockingly low compared to what we first thought

 

[Hadron90]

That collection plate ain't gonna fill itself.

Especially with Trumpbux coming in. Got to remind everyone that Jesus needs his cut.

 

[Hit-N-Run]

Religious people tend to be stupid when it comes to things like this. Science say something and they instantly rail against it.

Natural Selection... opps, they don't believe in that either.

I'm not white knighting for anybody. Luba doesn't post that often in the WR and I was just legit curious. The question was supposed to be "what kind of misinfo?" but my phone's keyboard had other ideas. I didn't know that.

 

[zebby23]

Well they’re with god now.

a better place
