Religious faith is good. I was raised with it. There are men of God - in this thread - who have watched people close to them die out of ignorance and false notions and we are ALL at our limits emotionally. Needless losses.
But this use of religion for a justification for 21st century fear and ignorance is shameful. Infuriating, almost. And I'm NOT talking about Islam in Afghanistan...
Sorry, but that's how I see it. My nephew was just released last evening from the Mayo Clinic - a 33 year old young man with a family - and a bad case of COVID. I do believe our family's prayers helped him, but that is no justification for the fact that he wasn't vaxxed. He will not get a moments peace from his Aunts or his parents until he does. He unknowingly gave it to his Mom, who was vaxxed and still got a "breakthrough".
She had a bad cold but thankfully did not end up in a bed on oxygen in the ICU next to him. We're all thankful to the Lord for that, too. But you know, the Lord helps those who help themselves.
If this quoting the Bible stuff continues I'll ask the mods to lock this thread; don't know if they will but if so, maybe some can instead read other things like unbiased science and expand their horizons and their knowledge. If they still make the same decision, then so be it. You're disrespecting the Scripture and it seems like it's being used as the last refuge of a scoundrel.
I say that with best wishes and truly no malice. 😔
