Coronavirus And Clerics

[nailit]

Didn't think it would be long before the loonies saw the pandemic as a plague from God.

Nut jobs!

Me ears are alight.

I think it's mentioned in Coronthians somewhere...OK, I'll leave:)

[andy-hughes]

I am sure the rabbi believes what he is saying - and I am sure he will be willing to move freely among his people, since he is obviously immune from infection himself, as are all members of his sect.

[mushroom25]

is this any different to PETA claiming that turning vegan will make you immune, because coronavirus is an anagram of carnivorous?

[douglas9401]

Some of the comments under the article demonstrate that straight people don't have a monopoly on bigoted bile.

All together now: 'I am what I am...........'

douglas - // Some of the comments under the article demonstrate that straight people don't have a monopoly on bigoted bile. //

Are you referring to comments on this thread - or on the link?

[Canary42]

Yes, I suspected something like this would happen amongst the extreme sects. Go forth and kill all unbelievers and God will reward you with eternal life.

Thats just the thing with Gods plagues, they seem to affect everyone, guilty or innocent. I remember the AIDS epidemic in the 80's. The religious were claiming it was Gods wrath on the homosexual community. Until it became clear that heterosexuals, as well as blood transfusion patients, were been struck down.

Total nut jobs.
(Maybe I should have posted in R&S)

[Canary42]

I think you should isolate yourself from R&S Nailit ;-D

[nailit]

No shortage of end of the world conspiricy theories on You tube as well.
All very entertaining as long as you dont take them seriously...

//I think you should isolate yourself from R&S Nailit ;-D//
Its the only bit of fun I have nowadays Canary ;-)

[douglas9401]

If it's all so funny and not to be take seriously, why do you get so worked up about it on an almost daily basis?

Asking for a friend.

Making several logical fallacies and assumptions there Doug!
Tell your friend to ask for himself ;-)

[douglas9401]

Firstly and talking of assumptions my friend is female and, secondly and perhaps more importantly asks if you could list the fallacies and assumptions.
Any order you like, no pressure.

[royfromaus]

Everyone knows the spread of the coronavirus is down to Allah.

[nailit]

//Any order you like, no pressure//
Aww, thanks ;-)

[nailit]

Answer Andy's question at 19:57 when your ready as well Douglas.
No pressure :-)

[douglas9401]

Sorry nailit, I missed that one due to the extremely unusual brevity from the author.

The link.

Nail it - And your expertise for calling them loonies is based on what?
Maybe the punishment is built in to the action?
Just asking.
For a friend also.
