The Consequences of a Post-Christian America Revealed by COVID-19

[my2¢]

We sure didn't need to wait for the coronavirus to come along to reveal anything. For one example, during the last 4 years we've witnessed the consequences of a post-Christian America revealed by our treatment of immigrants.

 

[there4eyeM]

Treatment of immigrants?! Are you kidding? Would "Christians" have firebombed wooden cities filled with women and children? Would "Christians" have mowed down fleeing "Native American" women and children?
America isn't "post-Christian; it is pre-Christian.

The gov't main focus, per our nation's founding is only to PROTECT God-given individual rights. It is not to "bestow" anything.

As I did not mention government 'bestowing' anything, I do not get your point. Basically a national government should focus on the nation. This includes protecting the nation, trade, transportation, and communication. Thus far, the Federal government has not interfered with any of my personal freedoms.

I can't go to work. I can't go to any restaurant or bar. Soon, I will be told I can't go anywhere outside my house except for Z or Y

That's pretty restrictive. Of course, it's for my "safety", you understand.

Sigh

Its not just for your safety. It is for the collective good. How selfish you are to ignore your responsibility to your neighbours.

It's selfish of you not to let me work Tommy

See how easy that is

It really isn't Sue. Why don't you assume the responsibilities of a rational adult and stop whining about a minor inconvenience?

You lose when you have to resort to name-calling Tommy. It means you don't have a case to make.

But you never really do.

Coronavirus infects 7 family members and kills 3 after they met for dinner

'It is so pitiful. They can't even mourn the way you would.'

metro.co.uk

Its serious stuff Sue.

So is a nationwide, crippling economic depression

Its unbelievable that you compare the two. You are just arguing for the sake of arguing.

Again, Sour Sue has spent the last four years rationalizing Trump because the "Economy is good'.

Now that the economy sucks, that's more scary to her than a plague.

You think an economic depression and coronavirus are not comparable? You realize that for many many people the virus is mild, some are asymptomatic right?

Are you entirely ignorant about an economic depression?

In my nation Tommy the virus has a LESS than 1% fatality rate now.

We have to backpedal out of these draconian measures, and fast. Because at this rate, the economic crash is NOT worth it.

[there4eyeM]

The "economic crisis" is only a crisis for "us" if we wish to continue to play "their" game. The ball belongs to "us", though, and we can take it and go home.
Everything is still there. The infrastructure we built, the goods we produced, the labor we provide. We just continue to do what we do in exchange for what we do and the "markets" can go hang themselves.

 

[JoeB131]

Nobody is going to die from a recession.

Well, maybe people who lose their health insurance, but that's our own damned fault for not having universal health care.

 

[JoeB131]

(All the liberals have left now is name-calling and shaming me. I have Wrong Thoughts which makes me a Terrible Person. Wait for it, everyone)

Oh, Islamophobic Twat, I thought you were a terrible person before this crisis broke out. The only thing that happens during a crisis is the terrible people out themselves. Kind of like all those Zombie movies, where you have the one jerk who does stupid things that end up letting the Zombies get in.

So, wow, the kind of terrible person who thinks that it's okay to throw kids into concentration camps is the kind of awful person who is willing to infect other people because she's afraid of missing a paycheck.

It's less than one percent because we've prevented further infections (no thanks to Trump) and the health care system isn't overwhelmed.

You have no idea what the fatality rate is. You dont test anybody in case the results upset Donny.

Yes I do. Right now, in the US, there are 33,000 positive tests and only 400 deaths. That's about a 1% fatality rate Tommy, some of the lowest fatality rate in the world. If that holds through the 8 remaining days of Trump's 15, you can expect America will go back to business as usual. Thank God

Naw, most people will realize when this is over Trump is unfit for the job.

And this won't be over in 8 days.

 

[sparky]

And this won't be over in 8 days.

Considering precedence for martial law has been so easily set

~S~

And people have just laid down for it, who cares about individual rights and freedoms?

As long as they are "safe"

If Trump were the one declaring Martial Law, you'd be all for it.

Instead, it's Democratic governors doing it because Trump dropped the ball on this one.

We have no higher ideals in 21st century, post-Christian America than our own personal safety, and perhaps the safety of our nearest loved ones.

"Safety" is not a foundation upon which to build, or sustain, a republic. Our Founding Fathers understood that. Liberty, prosperity, even happiness does not flow from "safety". And yet, in this Coronavirus madness, the secularized masses look to their Government gods to keep them "safe", no matter the cost. Steal my liberties, lock me up, crash our economies...as long as I get another few years on this spinning rock, safe. Or I should really say, "safe".

Wow. Hey, funny thing, Islamophobic Twat... All your churches are closing, too, for the same reason. Yup, apparently you are exempted from Grovelling in front of your Imaginary Sky Friend for a couple of weeks because SCIENCE tells them that's a really bad idea to have a bunch of old, scared people in a room together.

Chicago-area religious leaders including Cardinal Cupich suspend services but Catholics offer online Mass, close schools to contain coronavirus

I won't say we deserve this, but a lot of us saw this coming. When you unseat God from His Throne, you will have another god, even if you deny it. As the Bible says, "your god is your stomach" (Philippians 3:19). And now we see what happens.

Hey, we should totally go back the Christian method of dealing with a plague.

Back during the Black Death, people went around killing Cats because cats were associated with the devil. Ironically, because they used faith and not science, they actually managed to make the problem worse. The cats were killing the rats that were carrying the fleas that transmitted the virus, and as a result, half the population of Europe Died.

While a few decent priests interacted with their flocks and died, the Pope locked himself in the Papal Palace at Avignon, most of the clergy isolated itself... which was a leading cause of the Protestant Reformation a century later.

History, like Science, one of those complicated concepts you don't understand.
