(10,749 posts)We who are not true believes often hear people like you tell us that your god brings, well, pretty much everything, good and bad, and it's up to you to respond appropriately. If he brings good stuff, then you revel in your joy. If he brings bad stuff, then you bear the pain and come through on the other side thanks to your prayers (and, of course, god's weird randomness).
I may be off on some details, but I think that's the gist of it.
So. . . god brings the Covid-19 virus (again, according to your world view). That's one of the bad things, and you bear the pain and pray.
But. . . do you think it's possible, just maybe a little bit possible, that god also brought you the wisdom of the doctors and scientists who told you to get vaccinated and wear a mask? I mean, if you're gonna buy into the god being responsible for stuff, then why this thing and not that? Maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, you're a hypocrite who chooses to follow your political leaders on life and death issues that they know nothing about, rather than your god, who delivered wisdom and guidance through real-life smart people who said, hey guys, get vaccinated and wear masks.
