Sure, you've seen enough of my posts to know just how god-fearing I am. A true believer in the literal truth of the Bible, especially Exodus 7 - 11. Compared with me, Ron and Coree(e)ce look like Wiccans, or worse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sending a plague that preferentially kills off old people who are far more likely to vote for Trump, while just being a minor inconvenience to the young, seems like a pretty clear message. I'll bet you had a field day with AIDS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Ken, Many, many years ago, I could never understand the dry British humour. It went right past me. But, once I got stationed there, while in the military, I became more exposed to it. Now, I quite like it; and find it VERY funny. Jerry Baumchen Edited March 13, 2020 by JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With mass gatherings being an issue and a health concern right now, I wonder if god will spare the faithful? It would be interesting to see, is the corona virus transmission rate lower at church than a nightclub? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's true of several people on here (not just Turtle.) The intentional misunderstanding is one of the favorite ploys here when someone says something outrageous, and it fails to draw the sort of attention they desire.
