By her same damn "logic" that our time on this earth is predetermined, then you shoudn't EVER go to a doctor or get any medicine. Maybe not even put on a coat when it's below freezing outside. And don't even think about evacuating when a hurricane is imminent. After all, god wants you to die at a certain time and you'll die then, not before; god's got it all planned out.
To which I reply, god is a piss-poor planner. Hey! Perhaps that's one reason that these religious idiots worship the donald- he's a piss-poor planner too.

I am so confused by these people.

But remember, you are responsible for your actions. Unless god calls you home or tells you to stay and play more on earth, then your decisions won't change a bloody thing.

Shaking my head.

I can put up with a year to 18 months of depravation and isolation. In some ways, it's been good preparation and conditioning for rejoining the dating scene after Covid settles down. I would rather do without for 18 months than risk likely serious illness and possible death by taking a lot of risk with Covid and then likely getting it. I figure it's worth it in order to have a decent shot at living another 20 years or so in fair health. It also helps that I don't really miss seeing my few remaining relatives-siblings- because I don't get along with them anyway. My friends that are still in my life have the same cautious attitude about Covid. They are smarter than most people and that's probably why they are my friends.

Seems to be a person who puts religion over intelligence. She checks hers in order to honor or indulge her religion.

I agree. Let's absolve ourselves of personal responsibility for ourselves and others. Let's not vaccinate or wear seat belts or bicycle helmets. Let's abolish speed limits and safety regulations. Heck, lets get rid of laws against murder. If God wants me to get murdered why should their be punishment for the person who delivers God's plan to me?

And so what if I spread diseases to other people? Diseases don't kill anyone unless that's part of God's plan. Heck, I can run down the street shooting a gun at random people and not worry about it. Those bullets won't hurt anyone unless it's God's will.

I don't even have to get up in the morning. If God wants me to eat and go to work then he'll make sure I'll do it. God will take care of everything. I can just happily turn my brain off and never thing again because I might anciently think a thought that goes against God's plan.

If anyone has any doubts... this is pure sarcasm mixed with just a little pinch of bile.

Someone on this site posted that very thing. I think it was last night or this morning.

I agree with her a little even though I don’t believe in predeterminism. We are mortal. The life equation has two factors - quality and quantity! The equation has an absolute value, ie. You have to have a quality in balance with quantity of life. Also, life has an element of risk. You can’t totally give up QUALITY.
