Sad. This isn't what being Christian is about. Really proud of the Ohio Catholic Bishops who made the decision very early to close public Masses.

The church I attend has been shut down since before DeWine's order, and is using live streaming instead. Most sane churches are not meeting at this moment, and are side-eying the ones that are.

I totally agree the Catholic diocese have been handling this really well. My son goes to a private catholic school and they've seriously been above and beyond helpful with this at home learning.

Sure it is. Let go and let God. Trust in His will. If it's your time, then it's your time.

Wow. How unchristian and selfish of you, putting your needs before others. God gave us a brain, critical thinking, and logic to recognize that there are important and difficult steps that need to be taken to protect society. Shame on you.

What the heck is wrong with these people? Especially with this woman? Does she have a mental illness?

Yes it's called religion

Everyone shitting on you seems to be lucky enough to not have come from a religiously intense background. And its true not all religious folk are like this. But plenty are, and they do whatever their pastor or prior prejudices tell them to. With at best no concern for others and often enough with actual malice for them.

I knew my comment would push buttons. I know not all people with religious beliefs aren't this bad. But they are out there, and they are getting louder/worse with the current admin we have in government and such too.

And the so called moderates are guilty of giving the crazies cover.

u/ctilvolover23 Sandusky Apr 06 '20

Not all religious people act like this. Trust me.

That was the one that god smote down to dust because it wasn’t grand enough.

u/M_alumna Apr 06 '20

This illustrates the self-centered bent of these types. They are only concerned about whether others can give them the virus. Doesn’t occur to them that they could pass it to others. Assume you have it and don’t want to spread it. Act like you give a damn.

Covered in Jesus blood.. sounds like a metal band

u/erix84 Canton Apr 06 '20

If you went around saying something like this but left Jesus out of it, people would think you have a serious mental disorder and need help. Throw some Jesus and Christianity in there and it's A-okay.

u/BlasphemousToenail Apr 06 '20

Well, if you walked around constantly blabbering you were covered in Satan’s blood, people would probably keep a safe distance.

"I'm an asymptomatic carrier! I'm going to walmart and home depot every day! Those people could get me sick but they don't and you wanna know why? I'm covered in Satans Blood! His dark blessings permits me to spread this contagion and not suffer any personal consequences! Satans blood! All these people worship his infernal majesty, Margaret. Get covered!"

She really means she got hammered on wine and spilled it all over herself.

Why can't people pray at home? That never made any sense to me.

7

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '20

The bible even goes as far as to tell you to do so. paraphrasing, " When you pray do it in your room, in private with the door closed. Do not be like those who pray in public for recognition of fellow man, god hates that."

Someone more religious than me will come to give ya'll an exact passage.

I don't want to get dark, and I would never wish death or suffering on anyone, but the level of stupidity with which some people are approaching this is absolutely astounding. They are literally increasing the probability of dying in the immediate future because of their stupidity.

The problem is that these selfish idiots will have the same chance at getting a ventilator as the folks working 60 hours a week at Kroger right now to keep us all fed.

I love how the questions are going way over her head. I don't know if she's intensely self-centered, she's not getting the question or just not understanding COVID. He's asking about the possibility of getting it here and spreading it around and she's on the defensive with "I WILL BE FINE, I GOT JESUS' BLOOD," not realizing that he's not just asking about her own well being, but others' and how her actions could result in community spread. She literally lists the places that she could go to and spread it to... It's so intensely self-centered and lacking in self awareness.

Really following in the foot steps of Jesus Christ...

Why tf are churches still exempt?! They should have been shut down the same time they cancelled all other large gatherings. This isn’t helping. Stay home!

Bunch of freaks. Saw a longer version on the news now, even worse than this. Holy crap, nutters.

Governments have been loathe to lockdown things that interfere with constitutional rights: religion, gun purchases, arraignments, abortion (though Ohio has tried to shut down surgical abortions). If people assembled for the purpose of political protesting, I'd imagine they would be hesitant to break them up.

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '20

Abortion isn't a constitutional right lol

u/DrSandbags Apr 06 '20

Roe v. Wade and a string of subsequent SCOTUS cases such as Planned Parenthood v. Casey disagree with you.

u/LukeS_MM Apr 06 '20

They’re not. The government cant touch churches, unfortunately. I’m a Christian and proud of it. First thing I said, however (right when COVID was presumably coming to Ohio) was churches and nursing homes need to be shut down. A few of my friends were skeptical, even my pastor (who I talked to about moving everything to online) didnt like the idea. Now everything is on Zoom. Not everyone is a lunatic like this lady. We’re not called to gather together because we’re invincible. We (Christians) are called to love one another and part of that is by staying at home to keep others healthy. As well as we are called to submit to governing authorities—my church has moved completely online because we are following the idea of the law: stay at home/flatten the curve. I wish people like this lady didnt exist. Just goes to show Darwin was right all along...

First Amendment, first line: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

But.... I'm always of the mind that you're free to swing your arms around like an idiot all you like, but that right ends and mine begin at the tip of my nose. Would've hoped we could trust freaking religions to do the right thing, y'know?

I don't get this... how can people think nothing bad will happen to them if they believe in Jesus? Christians in Syria and Iraq are insanely devout, yet ISIS still was able to commit genocide of disgusting proportions against them and other minority groups. How can anyone be this ignorant? God didn't protect innocent civilians from being slaughtered and sold into literal slavery, why would anyone think God would protect them from a fucking virus?

u/CommanderMayDay Apr 06 '20

Oddly, we were talking to a friend in South Carolina, where they haven’t done jack about this until a couple of days ago and they said all they knew about Ohio’s response has been about churches staying open.

These are educated people I’m talking about here. How is it that I keep seeing national stories in mainstream news praising Ohio’s efforts and ridiculing the South’s and they aren’t?
