u/themediumchunk 15d ago

I think it’s hilarious when people use the Bible to advocate for rights to life or even breathing because there are nearly 200 instances in the Bible in which God killed others simply because he didn’t like them. This includes mass genocide. God has the longest documented kill streak of 2.5 billion people.

The Bible doesn’t even guarantee life if you live as you’re supposed to according to God’s will. For example: Job lost 10 children and his first wife who were all believers simply because Satan taunted God that he could make Job turn his back on God. And all knowing, all powerful God not only took the bait, but took the bait at what was described as his most loyal followers expense.

So, in conclusion, the Bible assures you nothing but pain and misery if you’re a sinner, and offers the same even if you aren’t.

No, no. The neurologist only confirms that, yes, brains need oxygen.

She asked Dr. Goodfeeel from Yahoo answers about masks blocking oxygen.

u/cantwin52 15d ago

Yeah this was key, she never said the neurologist said masks inhibit oxygen flow. Just that they confirmed a brain needs oxygen. But it’s like these guys don’t pay a single bit of attention to their own arguments. Like if the masks don’t work for viral particles, then it doesn’t stop oxygen molecules. But if it blocks oxygen flow then its effective and stopping viral particles. They need to choose which argument they’re making.

What’s stupid is that doctors wore masks in the 16th century to fend off disease and they didn’t even understand illness very well back then. At least, not like we know now. So people that didn’t really have an understanding of why people get ill were wearing masks, yet, people with access to billions of papers and files on the subject are objecting to the things that keep them safe.

I would say let them do it, let them kill themselves out of ignorance, but the unfortunate thing is that they will be taking out others with them.

There are laws that prohibit discrimination against peoples religious beliefs such as not allowing the use of drugs or even getting modern medical help, or even getting a blood transfusion (hospitals ask about it). However, no religion (as far as I know) says that wearing masks is against what you believe in (religiouly). Stop resorting to believing in what a lady says just because she's "famous."
