I’m saying this as a devout Christian- some Christians
Covid really sent me, as it was one of the more memorable times I watched people that claimed to be of the same faith, act anything but Christ-like
I believe in God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, heaven & hell- but also LOGIC. Like holy moly, seeing churches gather at the height of things, no masks, saying they wouldn’t let the government hold them back- only to later post on FB asking God why they lost meemaw and pawpaw so unexpectedly from Covid after they went to church and caught it.
Like, newsflash- that wasn’t God- that was them being selfish & reaping what they sowed!!!!
And the whole vaccine thing, like- yes, I believe in power in prayer, but I also believe God put intelligent people on this earth to create medicines, heal via surgery, and spread medical general knowledge for our benefit. It’s like that story where a city is flooding and assorted help comes by- a car, then a boat, then a helicopter, yet the man stranded on his roof denies each option to leave, saying God will save him…he drowns and asked God why he didn’t do anything and God replies saying he sent a car, a boat and a helicopter to help him.
(Also, for what it’s worth- I’m Christian but also pro-choice, pro-marry & love whoever you want, pro-religious freedom, etc. I have my faith, but i’d never use it to dictate how someone else should live or be).
