"SNIP.....

A new AP-NORC poll finds the coronavirus has prompted 62% of American believers to feel that God is telling humanity to change how it lives.

......SNIP"

1. Maybe God put probability into the universe and the probability of an outbreak like this in our

lifetime has always been very high. So in that sense God is telling us to fucking listen to the scientists who warn about this type of thing all the time and get prepared.

2. Funny, if *I* decided to send a message that way...

...they'd call me another Charles Manson.

3. IKR . Hardly would be praising you that's for sure 🙄

[Budi]

4. That's their answer for Everything!

Didn't Dan Akroid do "A message from god' skit?
Think it was him.

They deserve mockery

[maxsolomon]

5. Scoff. "God" is beyond "messages".

CV-19 is just a reminder that we don't control Nature.

6. "Believers" will interpret it as they aren't hating enough.

I'm glad televangelists don't have nuclear capabilities.

[Baclava]

7. Hmmmmm, which one? There are so many gods, how do I know I'm hearing from the right one?

I never understood this sky gods stuff.

9. Mostly, they just listen to the voices in their head and spout that off.

So, whichever voice tells you what you want to hear is the right one. That is how most do it. It is interesting how they can hear voices and not have to take medication for that. If the rest of us hear voices, we get told we need medication. It's weird.

13. It's a thunderbolt from Zeus! nt

[Baclava]

15. Never really got into him, the Hindus had older gods, never know, ye Olde Gods could be coming back

[msongs]

8. Im good with god killing his believers, but leave everyone else alone ok? nt

[SamKnause]

10. He always sends the same fucking message, death.

What a useless god.

A useful god would kill the virus, not the people.

2020 and people still believe this harmful fairy tale.

11. Carl Sagan's The Demon Haunted World

We have not really moved much past cutting open an animal and examining its liver.

[Midnight Writer]

12. I'm a non believer, and I think Nature is sending a message.

Think of our ecosystem as a living entity, interconnected organs working together.

Could a virus act as Earth's antibody to cleanse the infection of humans?

Not in a spiritual way, but in the same way any invasive sickness is handled by it's host.

[SammyWinstonJack]

14. Actually I think that would be Mother Earth sending a clear message telling humanity to change how

it lives.

[jberryhill]

16. Belief is for people who are afraid of the truth

[tinrobot]

17. Believers voted for the most atrocious sinner ever. Now there's a plague of biblical scale.

Do they not see the connection?

[jmg257]

18. I thlught he was saying "You're an idiot!"

[Chainfire]

19. The message is getting somewhat redundant

[Mariana]

20. 62% of American believers feel

that God is telling other people to change the way they live. I suspect that just about all of American believers are certain that God is happy with the way they live.

[Iggo]

21. So their loving god is killing innocent people so that assholes will be nice for a change?

Or is it so they'll be even bigger assholes?
