i just got temporarily banned from one of the christian subreddits I follow for sharing this study. Why? because to them, sharing this and calling out the people supporting this nonsense was uncharitable. Absolute lunacy and really discouraging
Jesus Christ himself would have most likely received a ban on christian subreddits if we're being honest. He drove the money changers in the temple with a whip that he took the time and energy to make. Think that would be considered uncharitable to them? Their definition of uncharitable is any position that goes against what they believe.
Jesus was also saying stuff in direct conflict with the written religious law and the dictates of the priests/rabbis. He would have definitely been banned right before being crucified.
We're living it. Either side of Vatican 2 or not. Christians shouldn't be this afraid and these shutdowns are actually hurting the poor and disadvantaged.
r/Christianity has been super-progressive for many years -- what they follow can hardly be called Christianity at this point -- and sadly I never found any other good Christian subreddits.
Lol. I said the same thing before I saw your comment. :) There's a lot of good talk going on there, even for Protestants because at least it gives you an idea of the beliefs that the other denominations arose from.
Mainstream Christianity has been corrupted just like every other human institution in this modern era. My family left church in the 1980's to flee this corrupting influence. We later encountered this writing (below) which epitomized some of the problems with Christianity (at the time). Give it al look if you're interested. You may find it relatable.
Which is of course stupid because the mask doesn't protect the wearer from slow moving aerosolized particles coming in, so why would anyone think it stops fast moving particles from getting out?

The best, most concise encapsulization of this I've seen yet. Well done!
I'm constantly asking people how they think the thin damp cloth knows which direction the virus particles are traveling.
The most annoying thing is when they say it’s like If neither of us are wearing pants we get piss all over each other, if I am wearing pants, I am more protected but you can still piss on my pants, if you also are wearing pants then the piss stays in your pants and on you. So it’s better if we both have masks
Great scenario...except the reality is we are both sitting in a pool wearing pants and pissing.
Yes, having a progressively wetter and gamy rag covering my mouth and nose at all times is a very dignified way to live.
You're correct of course but what I find silly about it is that the air is basically put under additional pressure when it escapes from the sides of the mask. They're basically just trading a forward-moving breath for one that shoots out both sides of your face. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it makes it spread worse.
Doctors know this. I heard one say because of that if they sneeze in the operating theater they do NOT turn their head. They lean back away from the table while still facing it.
And that's why we have immune systems. Deaths in anyone over the average life expectancy are irrelevant. They're playing with the house's chips at that point anyway.
Seriously. They never know how to respond when you tell them that if there were 100 mass shootings daily and 100 dead children at each one, it would only further solidify my unwavering desire for my God-given right to defend myself as I see fit, and that fitness includes but is not limited to guns that scare pussies like them.
I'll remember that next time I walk past someone smoking going into a building, or watching 99 year old grandma driving her Buick 20mph under the speed limit halfway on the shoulder, or the career welfare queens buying potato chips and coca cola for their kids.
"Rearrange your entire life, dispose of your rights at my whim! If you don't, you don't care about anyone's rights!" Self-awareness was never a leftist virtue.
Me too. "Doctors said not to wear it" as I breeze past has worked every time except at one CVS I got thrown out by Karen the manager. That's one single interaction in literally hundreds since this stupid fucking charade began.
The NYC Department of Health is mandating Ball Gags and full latex hoods to slow the spread. Now is the time to do as you are told to protect others, gimp.
Such a stupid idea. If it doesn’t protect me, then why would it protect others? How is a piece of cloth supposedly a one way device? How can they say this shit with a straight face

That's why the mask muzzlers moved to "wear it to protect others" and "wear it to set an example." They say it's not for the wearer. It's for others.

And they certainly wouldn't want Paul around.
If he were alive today, they would mandate that he wrap his entire body in the Shroud of Turin. To protect others...
It's the exact same type of people that betrayed and crucified him who are moderating those subs.
That shows a total lack of Grace on their part. Which is worse?

Christianity.win do it!
Need a Catholic.win with Dr Taylor Marshall as a mod
Next up, Christianity dot WIN
If you are Catholic, r/traditionalcatholics
Lol. I said the same thing before I saw your comment. :) There's a lot of good talk going on there, even for Protestants because at least it gives you an idea of the beliefs that the other denominations arose from.
What about Orthodox Christians?
it was r/reformed which was nominally better, but they've really fallen off the rails as of late.
/r/traditionalcatholics was the best I could find. Not perfect, and it's Catholic not Protestant, but they stick to their guns.
Protestants are gay as fuck.
Not all Christians understand their own beliefs. Keep your chin up and help them see the light.
I stopped going to my church because of a mask mandate. I refuse to be part of that charade.
I say it's the shadow of the mark of the beast, or shadow of the mark/beast. my pastor agrees.
the division of the wheat from the tares is a sign of the coming harvest.
I say it's the precursor stage to the mark of the beast to get people used to complying.
At least your congregation is allowed inside to worship, as guaranteed by the First Amendment.
The infringements of liberty we've seen this year boggle the mind.
We did too!
Lots of Christians are fake = source am Christian been abused by fellow Christians.
Though I am sorry that happened pede. You're always welcome to shitpost here.

Exactly. However, that's the counter to studies showing masks don't work. That counter has been deployed for months.

Thank you!

Isn’t that NOT how viruses work?
Get so sick of that response. Mine is always: i dont give a fuck
“Don’t you care about others???”
“No.”
No one ever knows how to handle that lol
Yep. And it's so damn satisfying to say!
Another favorite of mine is, "How many kids have to die before you'll agree to 'common sense' gun reform?"
"All of them."

Man that’s a good response. Now I want a chance to use it
"All of them"
*checks non-existent watch.
"You going to get to work?"
Also works with PETA street marketers:
"Do you care about saving the animals?"
"Not really."
Wife got mad when I used that one.
People Eating Tasty Animals.
PETA is so easy to punk.
Say "I LOVE animals! [long pause] I love them fried, baked, sauteed, broiled, fricaseed, roasted, even raw!"

Its pretty hilarious.

Cut off your dick to protect me from rape, bigot!

Saying you have a medical condition is a weasely response.
Tell them no and stand your ground.
