I got thrown out of the Methodist church in my early 20s. Never looked back.

It must be miserable to not have any faith.

Not a bit as far as the woowoo faith. I'm a scientist. I can have faith that an apple will taste like an apple if not infected. I can have faith that I can assist a culture to create a consortium of microorganisms with a certain process. I know how neurons fire and effect behaviour and have a certain amount of faith in predicting those outcomes. What does your faith do?

Oh I have faith. It just doesn't reside with a magical sky being or a scary underground bad guy.

I have faith in the people who I surround myself with who go out and actually do the things Jesus preached instead of fighting against everything he stood for because they somehow deem others not worthy in some way.

I have faith that the younger generations of Americans (and yes, this includes your grandchildren) will look for better ways to live and help each other instead of worrying about only themselves.

I have faith that somehow the world will survive the Human species as we figure out how to care for it and ALL of it's inhabitants, not just a select few.

I have faith that Humans will figure this all out despite a few who are absolutely terrified of actually being a responsible, decent human being who cares about others beyond his immediate vicinity.

I'm retired. My faith drives what I do every day.

Can you give me an example?

How about 2?

What do you think will happen when the whole situation with suppressing effective treatments gets resolved?

How will that effect the legality of the EUA for the jabs?

How do you define fraud?

Did it lead to people dying?

How many people died because hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies, and other treatments were banned (because Trump recommended them)?

What will the penalty be and how many people will be implicated?

What institutional and structural changes will follow?

You sure nothing's happening?

I don't have any questions about the meaning of that word. Is there something that you dislike about the word or its common usage?

It was completely related. And you never answered those questions. It was related, (obviously), because you insinuated that the Great Awakening is not happening and that it is a coincidence that the Freedom Ralleys are occuring. The questions that I followed up with, were meant to show you that the 'trajectory of all things' disagrees with you.

I completely agree there is a great awakening going on. I just think your going to be really let down with yourself when it happens.

I apologize for my reply. Thought it was a three berries post.

Makes way more sense coming from you.

You aren't being clear about what you are SPECIFICALLY referring to and you're accusing me of being dodgy... I will say it again, I don't know what you are referring to. You are being vague. And, I'm not going back to try and put that whole mystery together (for you) because, I'm frankly not interested, enough. Your sentence structures can also use a little work. So, maybe if I missed something, it is because you didn't word it clearly.

How do you feel about all the books they are trying to remove from school libraries?

I would have to take that on a book-by-book basis. I feel good about some of them. I think it's stupid to compare it to book burning. It is appropriate to keep some books out of public schools. They should not be promoting much of anything in school.

People can read whatever they want on their own time.

A recent study by Johns Hopkins shows that the COVID lockdowns had zero effect on the spread of COVID-19.

Shockingly, the mainstream media and democrats don't seem very interested in sharing the story...

A-Literature-Review-and-Meta-Analysis-of-the-Effects-of-Lockdowns-on-COVID-19-Mortality.pdf (jhu.edu)

The study also shows that the lockdowns caused excessive deaths...

Who could have known? :smoker:

Shouldn't this be HEADLINE NEWS? Is there any story more relevant, right now. After 2 years and countless lives and livelihoods lost. Why no coverage?

Could it be because the great reset agenda required extensive long-term global lockdowns in order to force their will upon the people?

No Lockdowns = No 'Great Reset' (?)

I don't ever remember a true lockdown. Several states and counties all did some degree of lockdown all at slightly different times and none of it enforced. And "essential" workers never locked down at all. And the whole lockdown there were tons of people refusing to wear masks.

If you looked at statistics from any given area they would show different results.

I have been saying all along. Have everyone everywhere actually lock down for 2 weeks and we would drive the numbers down to almost nothing.

Seems it could have been a far smaller hassle if people tried to work together at the beginning.

Remember when Trump said, "some people say we should just ride it out. 'Let it ride' they said.?" I had a feeling that that was a strategic statement.

"Future proves past."

Will socialists join the Freedom Truckers and anti-mandate workers in the world's largest workers protest in human history?

Or, are they really just communists (who want to destroy individual liberties)?

Hempy calls this "The Socialist's Dilemma."

stempy wants everything to be black and white, either on his side or an enemy of the people. they despise freedom, virtue & apple pie, and most probably kick puppies & stomp kittens for fun, and have "Mom sucks" tattooed on their arm. but that's not how the world & reality work. you don't get to make the rules, label everyone according to your prejudices, & set the terms for debate... i call it "Stempy's Stupidity".
