I agree. While we should not be living in fear over covid, neither should we be dismissive about it, and ignore its potential dangers. My husband knew a pastor in his 50's, in good health, who did not take covid seriously, and never took precautions. He died of covid 5 months ago.

It is always best to be wise and prudent about covid-19, realize its potential for transmission and seriousness, and take necessary precautions. That just shows good, common sense, to minimize exposure to a potentially serious disease.

...in his 50's! Wow 😲

Even if ^that^ were true, it's always wise to protect oneself and one's family. Misinformation as shown throughout this thread is never in the category of "good". Real, honest, careful, evaluation based on the best information available is a better strategy.



An unrelenting mistrust and suspicion of hard-working scientists, especially when there is no reason to be suspicious, is an unsound attitude when rational action is readily accessible.

A coffee enema isn't a sound treatment for COVID-19. No, vaccines do not magnetize people. Vitamin supplements do not cure COVID-19.

Do you find logical fallacies convincing?

Scientists are just as fallible as the rest of us.

There is plenty of reason to distrust government and industry.

That's your opinion.

A government of, by and for the people, with a Bill of Rights.

You'd rather have rulers?

Do you always go to such extremes?

Where are the "extremes" in my post?? What I posted about that pastor is absolutely true. My husband knew him.

And what was "extreme" about what I wrote about taking sensible precautions?

Your definition of "extreme" must be 'way different than mine!

Well maybe you could provide quotes of those dismissing it and ignoring it's potential dangers.

And not buying it's as dangerous as it's being made out to be doesn't count.

I did--that is what my husband told me twice that his friend believed. He knew this pastor--I did not. But sorry, I cannot quote the pastor who ignored the covid virus' potential dangers--HE'S DEAD FROM IT.

Huh? All I wrote is that it is sensible and prudent to take precautions against a disease that can potentially turn dangerous. Which is true.
What is wrong with that?

You contradict yourself.

First you are claiming that no one is ignoring covid or dismissing its dangers.
Then in the next sentence you claim you don't think it is dangerous!!!

But what does it have to do with the discussion here? Did you feel a need to warn us?

No, in fact, Jesus never interfered with governing authorities and even told people to give the government what was theirs (taxes).

Paul and Peter were correct about governing authorities in our lives.

So the U.S. republic was against God's will?
We are to have rulers rather than a representative government?

But you still insist God was incorrect about the Flood of Noah? You invested a lot of hours denying Biblical Creation.

So when you vote are you voting for rulers who'll impose rules you agree with?
Is this a libertarian position?
And your opinion there's nothing wrong with government confiscating people's money and distributing it to business/industry- a libertarian position?
