@suzianne saidSo, no. You didn't call him out for the "untrue" thing he said about the pandemic from his Christian point of view, right? You chose to NOT express your dissent about the main nature-of-the-Christian-God thing he was suggesting? Just to be clear.
What he was claiming was rather obviously untrue. And he was twisting words and failing logic in his presentation. Any connection he was making was in his own mind. However, all my previous attempts to "school" him have fallen on deaf ears. I can only speak my mind and highlight my dissent. It's up to him to consider how his ignorance informs his own conscience, and make the requisite changes. I'm neither his mentor nor his teacher.
@suzianne saidI wasn't asking you to "punish" him. This is a debate and discussion forum. By declining to stand up to whodey and instead simply quibbling his terminology, what have you contributed to this debate? Nobody asked you to "punish" anyone.
Your argument style needs work. You naysay everything said to you with a mere, "nevermind all that you just said, why didn't you punish him?" Punishing him was not my intent. You confront him if you want nothing more than punitive action.
@suzianne saidAre you waiting until whodey dies before you confront him over his suggestion about the link between abortion and the pandemic? Is that it?

No, I believe God is suffering with us when we suffer. Maybe reflect on the animal's suffering- chickens and cows do care for their young and how many of them suffer in this world, yet their suffering goes unnoticed. I would choose a chicken over a Sociopath any day. Cutting meat and dairy foods out of your diet and being sexually abstinent helps you become more spiritually aware.
@yellowstar00 saidBut what if the chicken is a sociopath?! You don't know.

@ogb saidIf the "God" figure you are speculating about is the Christian one - as depicted here by the likes of sonship and KellyJay - then, rather than it being a case of "what we did wrong" [...we are apparently unbelievably "evil and wicked" after all], it is instead a case of 'whatever God does is good', which means the deaths are good, the virus is good, the fear and the stress and the grief are good, the consequences are all good, and the mood of the "God" is in is irrelevant. He is simply 'doing good'. Apparently.
if God is mad at us, and sent this C-19 to cause havoc, at least he could do is let us know what we did wrong
