The Coronavirus: When God Goes Awol by plaetton: 7:18pm On Feb 26, 2020 |
We read in the bible that Jesus, supposed son of the Supposed creator of the universe , came to Earth some 2000yrs ago, walked among humans and cured some diseases, many of them epidemic diseases like Leprosy, Polio, etc. Though He supposedly cured a few people of their personal ailments, the son of God, with the sum of all knowledge in the universe, failed or should we say, forgot to eradicate those diseases permanently. After Jesus supposedly left the Earth , nothing changed in terms how humanity dealt with diseases and epidemics. Nothing changed at all. 2000yrs later , it took the scientific curiosity and endeavors of puny mortals(whose names you may not have even heard of ) in 1873 to discover that Leprosy was not caused by demons nor was it a punishment from Jesus's father. No, it was caused by a certain Bacterium. The first treatment became available in 1940. Halleluja !! Ever since, there have been many different disease epidemics. And always, the scientific ingenuity of mortal humans have risen to the challenges and saved mankind. Science ( When humankind speaks in one Tongue) has not cured all the diseases in the imperfect world that the perfect God supposedly created, but it has made tremendous progress in extending our lives and helping us manage a better quality of life. So, when God goes Awol, Science stands up for humankind. 20 Likes 5 Shares |

just wondering where the scientists got their knowledge from ,could it be from the thin air? Things happen for God's work to be made manifest in it, John 9v3 2 Likes |
Re: The Coronavirus: When God Goes Awol by plaetton: 7:33pm On Feb 26, 2020 |
subtlemee: Actually, they got their knowledge from observation, experimentation and analysis. I'm sure you are familiar with those terms. If the cure for diseases were gotten from God, then all those fraudsters who claim to hear voices from God should be the ones discovering the cure for diseases, not people dedicated to the scientific method . 35 Likes 6 Shares |

subtlemee: lol. The application of the scientific method( which does not involve beseeching an imaginary deity) produces tangible, testable results. Our life in this 21st century is a testament of the pre-eminence of the Scientific method over stone age superstitions. 14 Likes 4 Shares |

subtlemee: Bs. You can quote John all you like. The question is why is God Awol at a time he should show his power ? What do religious people pray for , if not for sound health and protection from uncertainty and diseases ? Why do people pay protection money to God( as collected by those who claim to work for him) and then God goes Awol when diseases come knocking ? 12 Likes 4 Shares |

anyone who believes that this virus has anything to do with religion, is not only very stupid but also very DELUDED!!!! there has been plagues and diseases since the beginning of time killing innocent xtians and children... til today, there are plagues/diseases and illnesses that kills innocent xtians and children... if there was indeed an invisible god in the sky that protects you deluded religious people then you wouldnt died just like non religious people die, from these same illnesses, duh! one simpleton even had the audacity to mention the AIDS epidemic, as if millions of innocent xtians didnt die (and still dying) from it, lol! your invisible god in the sky is useless/powerless to these plagues/diseases and illnesses! 14 Likes 3 Shares |

subtlemee:Dont mind him. God has set a time for complete eradication of evil in this world, and he won’t just eliminate sickness, he’ll eliminate sin completely. He’ll eliminate murderers and rapists and thieves, but he’ll also eliminate liars and blasphemers and adulterers as well. God still let’s the play go on so that plaetton and his cohorts will repent of their sins and be reconciled to him through Christ, but they continue to insult his patience. Meanwhile millions of people around the world are turning to Christ. Make no mistake plaetton and other mockers, the God who gave you minds that you use to imagine vain and foolish things will appear on the scene. But when the director openly appears on the scene, it means the the play has come to an end. 2 Likes 1 Share |

MrBrownJay1:Take a look at your entire post and see how much you have proven that most of you "free thinkers" are nothing but egocentric and selfish people who think that they are the only ones who can ever be right, and anyone with a contrary opinion is an idiot. Can't you just state your opinion without verbally belittling people? Are you mentally flawless? Do you know all things? Haven't you ever been wrong about something? People like you who always claim to be the most knowledgeable are actually the ones who know nothing. Stop looking down on people. 4 Likes |

Jayy10: you dont have to accept FACTS, you only have to be a deluded religious person to dismiss them... but sadly, however you wanna look at it, the FACTS ARE THERE... .you can choose to dismiss them and claim rubbish from your invisible god in the sky OR use your damn brain and accept it. AGAIN, innocent xtians and children are dying from the same plagues/illnesses and diseases that non religious people are dying from.... if there was indeed an invisible god in the sky then YOU RELIGIOUS DONKEYS would be saved from these plagues/illnesses and diseases, just by praying, duh! 6 Likes 2 Shares |

MrBrownJay1:You claim to be intellectual and scientifically oriented, yet you fail to follow the traditional scientific process to determine your knowledge. Have you even read the Bible before to know what it says about these things? I guess NO, because you feel you are all-knowing, so you don't need to look at a "book of fairy tales" to exercise your thinking. You are seriously dumb, no amount of gibberish you type here can disprove that. |
Re: The Coronavirus: When God Goes Awol by plaetton: 9:20pm On Feb 26, 2020 |
subtlemee:Of course. What else can you say ? If god does his things whenever he wishes, after several thousand years, then pls tell me why generations of humans like you , spend your short lives praying and beseeching gold , even trying to bribe him at times, to change situations for your personal benefit ? Are you not indirectly admitting that religion is a big waste of time, because no matter how much you worship, pray, fast and sow seeds, the will of God, which takes thousands of years to unfold, cannot ever bend for the whimsical yearnings of mortal humans ? 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Jayy10: who said anything about being intellectual or scientifically orientated?! i am talking about FACTS!!!! do you understand what that is?! ok let me help you: if godfearing xtians and their innocent children are dying from the same plagues/diseases and illnesses that non religious people are dying from, doesnt that make your invisible god in the sky USELESS?!?! Have you even read the Bible before to know what it says about these things? I guess NO, because you feel you are all-knowing, so you don't need to look at a "book of fairy tales" to exercise your thinking. i probably know the holy book of y'all (and its teaching) better than most of you bunch of follow-follow brainless sheep.... that are solely listening to what your fraudster in robe is feeding you. You are seriously dumb, no amount of gibberish you type here can disprove that. thank you sir, keep praying while hoping to be saved from these same plagues/diseases and illnesses that are killing BILLIONS of deluded brainless xtians like you. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Re: The Coronavirus: When God Goes Awol by Joshthefirst(m): 9:30pm On Feb 26, 2020 |
plaetton:You have no idea what prayer is. And I cannot imagine you would understand. We don’t worship and pray to change Gods will. We worship and pray because it is His will, and He is a benevolent God. This kind of bullet will only hurt people who carry out idolatry, deluded people who believe they can form a transactional relationship with a god at their beck and call; far enough for Him not to influence their lives morally or have any real relationship, but close enough for him to be their security detail and prosperity bringer. Both you and them slave under the sin of idolatry, but they are slightly better than you, they invent a god and tailor him to their image but they still understand someone is out there, while you foolishly imagine His undeniable reality isn’t there at all. 1 Like |

Joshthefirst: Wake up and smell the coffee. Ain't nobody coming to rescue you from heaven. What sane being watches suffering for thousands of years and does absolutely nothing in the name of eradicating it in some anomalous future? Besides its been 1980+ years since Jesus supposedly said he'll be back like Arnold Schwarzenegger yet unlike a freaking invention of man the god refuses to show up. What a farce. 11 Likes 2 Shares |
