It took Obama 6 months to declare an emergency as a result of the swine flue virus but things turned even worse when the swine flue immunizations started killing people as well. Go figure.

So what? I don't really care what the criminal Obama did. At least he seems to have had a better handle on public health policy.

One of the weirder ones was I was in bible study with a mechanical engineer that was having trouble with a projector and started going on about how the devil doesn't want this to happen ... then I moved the books away from the exhaust vent...

i lucked out. grew up in a church where people were loving and caring and we spent our time actually helping people. our preachers never got political (the most controversial thing i can remember is them telling us we needed to help Vietnam vets more). It was the perfect church and i loved attending.

when i see how bastardized some churches have become it makes me sad. they are exactly opposite of what Jesus preached. they have become a filthy Rome.

"I like your Christ but I don't like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ" Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi. He was 100% right.

He did? He waited 6 months to declare a health pandemic emergency in 2009 and it took Trump less than 6 weeks to do the same thing. Democrats are not known for logic, but they are known for their hatred of republicans, conservatives and Christians.

here's the thing. there are REALLY good people in the world. people with huge hearts that care about doing the right thing. many are Christians.

the problem, of course, is that they are now downed out by the crazy, fake Christians who are using religion to promote a political agenda and hurt people they don't like. it's exactly what the Islamic Extremists do.

I'm saying the health and welfare of all citizens, especially poor people, is not worth endangering because of irrational panics over things that are not as serious as the alarmists imagine. Poor people need jobs, not shutdowns, closures and jacked up taxes and prices.

Both Democrats and Republicans are known for their disrespect for constitutional governance. Both have strong records for treasonous behavior in Congress.

How high do you think the death count will go? Surely not nearly as high as the AIDS death count, and what did we ever do to isolate and contain that deadly virus for the protection of the whole nation? Do we now think we should have quarantined those with the AIDS virus?

Religion is also Big Business; let's not forget that. All the Talibornagain televangelists rely on attendances in their mega churches for their income, as well as TV love donations.

Maybe now that he has left earth Mohatma wishes he had loved God rather than hating His people.

YOU and others like you are nothing like 'god's people'. You're no more a christian in your behaviour and commentary than my cat. Gandhi doesn't wish anything. He is worm food; just like you will be. Attending church and praying doesn't prove a person's christianity. Their behaviour does. You use your 'christianity' as a political weapon. What would your Jesus have said about you cynically usurping his father's teachings?

Never before Trump have we seen such open widespread attempts to treasonously overthrow the elected government of the President of the United States.

Um,

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Good luck. :lamo

If only the infallible founders had the foresight to include a Bill of Responsibilities as well. Perhaps America would be less of a childish mess.

People in our church actually give of their own money to help poor people themselves instead of depending on the government to help poor people with other people's money.

I also have no respect for dead religion but I do have hope of eternal life, something naturalists who reject God cannot have.

That could certainly be true, but it's irrelevant.

The Deep State that attempted to overthrow Trump has been in control of government long before he came on the scene. It is still in control of the government, even with that clown in the White House.

He is a dishonorable man and unfit for the office.

'Hope' isn't reality any more than hoping next week's lottery will make me a millionaire. I hoped my mother wouldn't be taken by cancer.

Deep state controls the government but can't actually control it. Really?
