Swine flu

[jonlundy]

poker players highly at risk to this because of the germs spread on chips and the closeness of all poker players at the tables? i no someone who had swine flu and still went to play. pretty fucked up imo

A cull of poker players wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.  Sounds like he was carrying out a public service.

Think i caught my cold/flu in Edinburgh.

My catholic friends are telling me that their churches no longer serve communion under the form of wine, just bread, in order to minimize the risk of transmission.

 

Jesus will be turning in his grave.

I wonder if someone he infected could sue (altho he prob hasn't any money and is unemployed).

You'd have thought that he'd zap the nasty viruses (the ones he made, and saw that they were good)  in holy water.  Obviously he's too busy to do that at the moment...

The related story I read was of churches not using holy water for fear of passing on swine flu.

At first I thought how ironic that was, but then I realised they're clearly going against God's will - I'm pretty sure the only people He would let get swine flu from holy water are The Unworthy

Diet or regular ?

You laugh, but homoeopathic water is provided to people on the NHS...

If there were a God and if he were to favour his followers by zapping the nasty viruses or destroying the cancer cells of people who sang him hymns then after a statistically significant sample of the faithful living and the non-believers dying the existence of God would be proved.

This would change the nature of faith, believing would not be a choice. God would be undeniably there and at that point he'd cease to become an immortal Deity whose existense transcends our own understand and just be some kind of unelected dictator whose policies or their lack of implementation we can moan at in a conventional way (but not too noisily lest we be stricken with a pox).

As much as I disagree with the logic used by people using the whole pain/suffering thing as an argument against the existence of God, it doesn't put me on tilt.
What does put me on tilt is the minority (I hope it's a minority) of loony so called Christians who think that people who get sick are being punished or people born with disabilities are being smited for the sins of previous generations.

Atheists, Christians, I hate 'em all.
God I like though (plz no cancer 1 time)

so colonic irrigation with holy water could cure pretty much anything... i have such good ideas i can't believe i'm not a zillionaire yet

If there was a god, why does he test people with this faith bull?  Is it part of some celestial game he's playing?  He's bloody good and hide and seek though, I'll grant you that.

Oh, and a central idea of Christianity is that we are being punished for the sins of our forefathers (and mothers).  So it's not a minority of Christians - it's ALL true Christians.
