    Mark of the beast. I hope God wipes it all out.

    And why would God wipe it out?

    God is Who set everything in motion, from the first to the last - knowing the end from the beginning.
    Once He started things, everything is on automatic until the finish.

    The outward face of God may change over time, but in the end and from the beginning God does not change.
    That is His nature.

    That is, unless the nature of God is to evolve into something else.
    What does the Bible have to say about the nature of God Almighty?

    And what would an all-encompassing Being evolve into?

    Just thoughts to ponder on.

    I'm not a devout Christian. But I would like to believe that God is pretty pissed at the state of things and would see to it that theres a reset since were in a sodom and gomorrah type situation right now.

    Got back on our yard today after a 7000 mile 11 day run.
    Wife is a nurse and said no cases in her unit, but there are some "coughers".
    I watched the last child(home from college) burn up the highway on the RING doorbell (in and out) even after I raised Hades a week ago. I guess he's too stupid to realize I can see everything that happens.

    I flipped on the yard even though I was ONE MILE from my house.
    Got me another 7k run.

    Told my wife I loved her, but I haven't been near a soul in almost 2 weeks... I'm not coming home and getting sick.

    I'll stay out til May at least.

    I could see some kind of power shift happening. I cannot ignore the fact that this happened just before probably one of the most controversial presidential elections in history, at least recent history.

    People laid down like scared little puppies as soon as the .gov said to. Everything is closed up, everyone is afraid of everyone else (for the most part). There are people so stupid in our society that they believe this virus being airborne now means they can get it by just leaving their house.

    There are a lot of powerful people out there that want to control people and society. They want to tell them how when where and what to buy. They want to control their income. They want control (at least partial), of everything.

    I guess we'll know come November.

    That is really funny, since God is the one that rained down fire in that case.
    Your analogy is a poorly chosen.

    I am, however, a devout Christian.
    But, I understand God better than most.

    God is not all wrath, or lovey-dove either.
    God is God, plainly and simply.
    God does as God wishes.

    God does not want to hurt us, or to help us either.
    God set the stage to allow us to do that, all on our own.
    Free will, freedom of and for choice and thought.

    Quantum physics included, nothing is left to random chance where God is concerned.
    This is NOT the matrix. There is no unquantified anomaly or uncertainty at work here.
    The number is simply 1.

    Or, maybe 42.

    (And I would bet that the kids in Mr. Bach's math class would have come up with the solution to rendering 42 into 1 in the great game of Gwizno, in five (not so) easy steps.
    You probably don't get the reference, but he was a great math teacher in high school.)

    If y'all think it's bad now,just wait for the second wave. That's when the guberment says, "We kicked covid's butt, y'all, LET'S PARTY!" (i.e. continue on with your lives, get back to work, business as usual)


    There will still be contagious people out there, but no one will be thinking about that. They'll just be happy to be with people again. That's when covid yells "SURPRISE" and kills a few more thousand unsuspecting people. That's when big brother brings out the national guard and it's forced quarantine for 100% of the population. Stock up on staples now (flour, beans, rice, bullets, etc, not those bendy things that hold paper together) because there won't be any essential services available at that time. Purchase black, non-reflective clothing 'cause you'll need it for those new moon raids on your neighbors stores.

    in away I think this is mother nature. After all every so often she throws something at us to curb the population. We're starting to over crowd this planet, and even birth rates are down due to that. So with a culling of the herd, so to speak. It would lower the world pop and cause an increase in the birth rate.

    To say that the US is having us "lay down." Would have to also assume that the rest of the countries of the world were in on the hoax. After all, almost every other nation is issuing stay at home orders. So why are they all ok, and the US is shifting the power of the sheep of the country? SMH

    The only virus that is going around is fear.

    This thing is a drop in the bucket as far as mortality rate.

    They've been talking this thing up and it hasn't done anything besides collapsed the economy. Job done.

    As far as conditions on the road, same as it ever was. You people on the internet sure like to blow #### out of proportion.
