Re: Covid-19 Vaccines and Christian Ethics

Fair enough. The issue that is at the root of your accusation that people like me have nothing to offer an unbeliever, then, has to do with your view of the vaccines being unethical. I think this is a valid question, but I do not share your certainty that the vaccines are unethical. I feel your acc...

Re: Covid-19 Vaccines and Christian Ethics

I answered your second question as best as I could. And your first question is so far off topic, unrelated, and is so incredibly different I see no point in addressing such distractions. Fair enough. The issue that is at the root of your accusation that people like me have nothing to offer an unbel...

Re: briar patch

Maybe it's because I don't see this bad behaviour, but it sure seems like you liberal minded folk look for bad examples to justify yourselves. Many people of the world are trusting the COVID vaccine as their saviour and that goes right along with trusting man and science over God. The more you cont...

Re: Coronavirus Outbreak

The charts just posted were deaths, which seem to me to be a more accurate measure of the effects of Covid than the case counts - for reasons such as the ones you bring up. There are many, many people who have Covid symptoms who don't get tested because they don't really need to. For example my wif...

Re: Covid-19 Vaccines and Christian Ethics

I'm glad you have not seen this in your area. You are fortunate. In our area, it was commonplace, not limited to plain Anabaptists of course. I'm sorry you feel that I have no message to send the lost because I got a Covid vaccine. In your opinion, does anyone who goes to the doctor for an illness ...

Re: Anabaptist Exceptionalism and Response to Government

That's something I never seen. What I've personally seen is compliance, but maybe us ultra conservatives are much different? What I've seen is a huge host of people in fear lined up for an experimental unethical vaccine as their thinking this is what is going to save humanity. So when people like y...

Re: Coronavirus Outbreak

I wish there was an accurate way to factor in the percentage of folks in a state who avoid getting tested when they have symptoms, which would make the numbers even more interesting. A graph that shows actual test results, but also the percentage of positive cases that were likely never tested in e...
