Just because you’re walking through a barnyard doesn’t mean you can’t alter your path to avoid stepping in the biggest, smelliest piles of dung. It’s the difference between getting shit ON your shoes versus getting shit IN your shoes. Both outcomes involve shit, this is true, but one is very much preferable to the other.
It was designed by the same people that designed everything in Star Wars.
God is larger than the virus. So is the piece of dirt stuck on the inside of my toe nail.
Personally, I prefer the way thatthis congregation reacted. Their Easter service was planned to be a virtual one. As a surprise for the pastor, congregants collected photos and placed facial cutouts of church members throughout the pews, so that he could see his people during the service.
Next article I expect: “Virginia pastor wonders why Heaven is so hot and smells like sulphur.”
And the average intelligence of the human race just went up. Good fucking riddance.
God, greeting folks at the Pearly Gates:
“What the fuck were you thinking?”
Yeah, the OT sure went through a lot of trouble telling people to socially isolate from people with leprosy. If ol’ Yahweh was around, he would want people to have some common sense.
After doing some thinking, I realized I have enough toilet paper, food, etc for a bit, maybe I should watch it vitally this Sunday. I don’t go out much but they all work. I wouldn’t mind dying, cause my sons up their, but I’d rather do it peacefully than suffer. I know she’d probably say I wasn’t having faith, but. Maybe you guys have saved my life, of course there’s no way of knowing that. I apologize for acting holier than thou. Never thought I would do that. I do wish I had some magazines. Vitally should say. virtually
What a load. You have done no thinking whatsoever. And which was it? Did you never think you would act holier than thou (which is pretty much what your whole m.o. has been here, so that’s obviously no accident) or that you never thought you would apologize?
Perhaps you should get an onlie subscription to some magazines. You can start with reputable scientific ones.
You’re saying I posted a false apology? Why would I? Or that I did it without thinking. Apologizing for acting too holy, and show me evidence thats my m.o. sorry you’re so upset.
It takes a lot to admit to being wrong. Thanks for reconsidering, SuntanLotion.
I got carried away. This is a scary thing we’re all going through, and being stuck inside was messing with me.
At a minimum there are eleven heads in this [del]herd[/del] flock counting you.
Oh, yes. I’m saying that you are continuing to flagellate here. Why? For your own sake, not Christ’s. I’m not upset. I’m observant.
I’m not buying it from her.
Why should you have been scared of that inside? Weren’t you in the house with the pastor, his wife, and another eight folks (minimum)? You should’ve been protected, right?
I’d be inclined to back off Suntan Lotion at this point.
I read her post as cabin fever messing with her, which is entirely understandable. Isolation, disruption of normal routines, uncertainty about the future, and fear of a new disease can do that to a person. It’s understandable that she would seek the comfort of her church under such circumstances, and not realize that by gathering in a group to do that she’s essentially playing into the hands of this virus.
If she’s considering virtually attending church we should be encouraging that, not attempting to analyze whether her apology might or might not be sincere. It’s not about me or you, it’s about all of us. I want to encourage Suntan Lotion to do what’s good for ALL of us.
Could you go over the math with me? I’m counting:
- Pastor
- Mrs. Pastor
- Mr. & Mrs Pastor’s child A (for the sake of simplicity, let’s designate this child as “Adult daughter with two babies of her own”)
- Mr. & Mrs Pastor’s child B
- Mr. & Mrs Pastor’s child C
- Mr. & Mrs Pastor’s Grandbaby 1
- Mr. & Mrs Pastor’s Grandbaby 2
- Mr. & Mrs Pastor’s Grandbaby 1&2 baby daddy
- SuntanLotion
I just can’t make that come out to eleven, so TIA.
Ah. I missed the bad spelling and lack of punctuation in her posting and thus I counted “their daughters” as two and “two babies” as another two.
@ Broomstick: Agreed. Let’s hope. And let’s hope for all of us!
