There’s nothing wrong with Christianity. American Christianity based on white supremacy however, does have its problems.

There's nothing wrong with any religion. Just with the people that believe in them.

The real problem there is we paid them to develop them and then didn't buy any.  Until it was too late.

Throwing a little context up against what is clearly a FOX/Rush/Sean/Buck/Laura numerical angle of the day isn't entirely useless.  It may be lost on Mr. KSU, but it's not entirely useless for all others reading the thread.

Good point. My apologies.

So we are shutting the entire country down for a disease that kills 1 out of every 250 people it infects (assuming there has been no one wandering around out there with it who hasn't been diagnosed which is kind of like assuming the Detroit Lions are going to the Super Bowl).  We are a country full of morons.

America is for the makers, not the takers.  Lazy entitled bums who blew all their money on transportation and housing are shitty planners - we makers shouldn't subsidize their stupidity.  Maybe if they suffer some REAL consequences, they'll make better decisions next time.  And I don't even see what they're worried about anyway -- anyone who dies from this illness "was on their last legs" anyway.  We're just overreacting to something that's just like the flu, which requires us to dig mass graves with a backhoe every flu season.  You just don't know that because the deep state and lamestream media hide it from you.

Religion is a man made construct. Like probably most on this board, I was raised as a Christian. 

And while I still completely  believe in God, I don’t practice much in religion much anymore. I do still like to go to episcopal service on occasion. I like the songs, and the free wine.

The guy your are responding to is a well known troll. Who claims he lives in Kansas yet finds the time to post here, on a longhorn message board, troll memes at 3:00 am. Engaging in any type of substantive debate with him is completely a waste of time.

What if (and this is going to sound crazy) we just nuked his ass? Best case - he’s a kstate troll and a moron...worst case, he has an agenda that is not good. Seems like the only way to be sure is to nuke him from orbit.🤷‍♂️

Shocker...EMA can't do math.

You can't count people who are still sick as recovered, you dumb fucking idiot.

So far in the US there have been about (it changes so quickly) 18,747 deaths and 27,314 recoveries.  I.e. roughly 1.5 recoveries per death... I'd say that's slightly more that 1 out of 250.

The fact is we won't know the actual number until this is all over, but I'm willing to bet that US's final tally is at least 10x more deadly than your preposterous 1 out of 250 claim.

[Bama Chick 28596]

Well, not everyone is a christian, especially in NYC.

It’s forbidden in the Torah and Qur’an.

But it’s less about religion and more about resources.

-Crematories and funeral homes are overwhelmed
-Cremation ovens are not outfitted for mass casualties
-Lots of New Yorkers aren’t originally from there so their families aren’t able to come claim their bodies during this lockdown. The city is literally using freezer trucks for body storage and they’re running out of space so they’re embalming and burying the bodies for loved ones to claim later.
-Some victims may not have families or were homeless or families unable to pay for a proper burial right now, so Hart Island will be their final resting place.

I didn’t want to go down that worm hole, it’s probably worthy of its own thread, but yea. The blanket nonprofit exemption for churches is obviously being abused. It needs to be reworked. Anyone receiving money through a NPO should have to publicly report their finances. Caps on money from NPOs to individuals, tighter limits on what can be purchased as church assets, etc. Close the loopholes.

Im not going post hunting from weeks back to respond to something innocuous that I can’t recall from a bland quote of myself, so if you’ve got a greater specific point you want to make, then make it.
