Phil1111 910 #1 Posted March 27, 2020 Trump’s response to the pandemic has been haunted by the science denialism of his ultraconservative religious allies. "Donald trump rose to power with the determined assistance of a movement that denies science, bashes government and prioritized loyalty over professional expertise. In the current crisis, we are all reaping what that movement has sown." Tax deductible funds have sown the seeds in government of science denial. Allowed trump to ascend to a position where science, logic and good governance has been set aside. Replaced by the mob psychology of FOX sound bites, the blame game and decisive institutions of government. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil1111 910 #5 March 30, 2020 Pastor arrested for holding church services "A Florida pastor has been arrested after he allegedly held two large services on Sunday despite a safer at home order issued in the state. Tampa-area pastor Rodney Howard-Browne "intentionally and repeatedly chose to disregard the order set in place by our president, our governor, the CDC, and the Hillsborough County Emergency Policy Group," Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said at a news conference Monday.... Attorneys for the church told the sheriff's office that they refused to cancel services, according to Chronister. The church could have opted for livestream services, but instead disobeyed the safer at home order and even provided bus transportation for parishioners, the sheriff said. Howard-Browne told congregants Sunday, "I know they’re trying to beat me up about having the church operational, but we are not a nonessential service." Just doing his best to send souls to heaven.

airdvr 197 #11 April 1, 2020 He's got to make his Mercedes payments. Hope they arrest him too. On a lighter note I see that most "faith healings" have been postponed. I guess they haven't figured out how to hold their meetings in the ICU. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil1111 910 #17 April 1, 2020 (edited) The National Interest is a conservative international affairs magazine. Who just did a major feature attacking Trump's Evangelical Allies and the ignorance of science concerning C-19. It seems as though body bags might be driving a wedge between trumps base and the religious right. The author of the above article wrote the best selling book on how trumps base is systematically corrupting the US constitution. The First Amendment which ratified in 1791 states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion Edited April 1, 2020 by Phil1111 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you figure? The first reply by gowlerk is some kind of joke about Christians dying - and normiss liked it. (go figure) The second reply is Nigel raggin' on about how I treat Phil nicer than him. (and by raggin' I don't mean raging, I mean raggin' - like it's his time of the month.) The third reply is about how Phil felt bad for calling me names - and then nigel wonders why I treat him better, lol. You were raggin' on some strawman, but the funny thing there is that atheists actually do go to church - then they say that christians are the ones that need a crutch. . . The rest are people here are just going on about 2 pastors in all of Christendom that were arrested for holding services for .0000005% of the christian population.

No bigotry there, eh? On 4/2/2020 at 7:50 AM, gowlerk said: Name one that even remotely compares to a mega church full of people gathered together to give money to these leeches. It's hard to say. These church people are so desperate during this time that they obviously feel church is necessary and essential to their life. Not sure I can say the same to those crowding Socal beaches and the bars, nor about those celebrating b-day parties and funerals - but apparently y'all is ok with all that as long as they don't specifically identify as evangelical/christian. . . . and the fact that that church spent $100k on a hospital grade air purification system, and separated people into 7 different areas on their campus, and didn't even take a money collection works against your whole hateful "leech" theory. 21 hours ago, nigel99 said: you could hear a pin drop for the silence Ya, it's a quiet time. How about you take that time and spend it with your father? I know he's sick, but my heart says that he needs to be with you, and your family has delivered him to you. For the last 1- 2 years or so, you've been lamenting on Christianity and your childhood. You've expressed disdain for your father, but now he's here. Take some time and make that right. He loves you. Don't regret it. Just work it out, what ever you have to do, ok bud? 19 hours ago, JoeWeber said: At least we're in general agreement. No Joe, we're not in agreement.
