MAGAThread XIX: Hambergers, Noble Prizes, & Disinfectant

[Gormwood]

Trump deems Houses of Worship as "essential" facilities, says Governors should immediately open them up; threatens to override Governors that refuse to do so. Trump went on to say that it was an "injustice" that places like liquor stores and abortion clinics were allowed to remain opened.

I might be bias towards this given I'm an atheist but I do not view places of worship as essential, especially when one can literally pray at home (or listen in from afar, we're in the fucking 21st Century after all). Also, him forcing States to re-open up things, doesn't that go against their respect for State Rights or something?

People can't pray at home? The word network exists but I guess there's too many fucking dipshits to keep away from the church.

So it seems our awesome/horrible president says that churches and other religious stuff must open, and if the govs say no, he'l override them.

What does NSG think about Donald Trump's statement?

I wonder what Martin Luther would do about corruption on this level. <.< >.>

Probably writing 95 theses about how SARS-cov-2 spreads and how God asks of His believers to use the gift of life wisely.

States' Rights only matter when a Democrat is overstepping the bounds of Federal government. When Republicans do it, it's called maga or something.

[Rojava Free State]

Everyone can worship at home. Churches should not be open during a dangerous time like this unless they're being held remotely via zoom.

[Albrenia]

I hope Churches still offer digital services, because there's an awful lot of elderly people who go to church. Probably a lot more than elderly people who routinely go to nightclubs or beaches.

[Albrenia]

I hope Churches keep offering digital services because otherwise there's going to be a lot of elderly faithful who otherwise would be safer at home.

As someone who goes to church regularly, I can confirm that the church experience isn't really the same over the internet (just as socialization over zoom isn't quite a fit replacement for face to face interaction), but that said, it's really no different than any other place that should wait until it's safe to host huge gatherings.

It's a very small number of pastoral hypocrites that have anywhere near enough money for jets. In 99% of cases, pastoring is not a financially lucrative job.

[La Xinga]

Interesting opinions, I think that while prayer is necessary and essential, it's too early to open them.

Besides, according to all faiths, God doesn't need one to pray at church. They can worship him anywhere.

[Last Breath]

This seems silly, can they not pray at home?

Well, I mean there are zero surprises that Trumps spiritual advisor is a Prosperity Preacher or whatever the fuck they're called. Prosperity theology, it's the televangalists that make the millions of dollars and suggest that's what god intended.

So yeah, he's looking out for his rich friends again by sacrificing his poor supporters. But hey, if they're going to keep jumping in the meat grinders...

The evangelicals lost my support completely when they turned to Trump. They're supporting a guy who fucks hoes, does dope and says he doesn't need God's forgiveness but still have the nerve to hate on the gays.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's true.

This seems silly, can they not pray at home?

Yes, they could. The president didn't bother to take questions, so I think he was trying to make people happy with him as "defender of religion" while the Liberals are "attackers of G-d," which is up to all of us to decide.

I believe they're called "vultures" in the vernacular.

It's about time Jesus introduced these fellows to what he really meant when he said wealth doesn't buy you a ticket to Heaven inn'it?

Jesus would be disgusted if he saw modern America, and not for the reasons evangelicals think.

[Trollzyn the Infinite]

That's not something he can enforce, nor is it something that he should be able to.

Separation of Church and State works both ways or not at all.

Thats because Jesus is a heathen socialist against gods will and his chosen people, the Americans.

Oh my God he's about to tear down the wall of church and state now that the election is coming.

No Donald no.

He's obviously trying to build a narrative of being the defender of freedoms while those unfortunates who have to try to control a pandemic take all the blame for what needs to be done to keep people alive.

Soon the death toll in the US will be above one hundred thousand souls. I wonder how many of those were avoidable if the government was more focused on saving lives than saving Trump's election chances.

Jesus would probably be violently attacked in America these days for "911ing the twin towers." He really ought to avoid visiting here.
