If prayers worked they would be banned in casinos, here's a thought, ask your imaginary friend to save starving children instead of wasting time on people that made a conscious decision.

Prayers work. You’re still alive, ain’t you?
And you honestly believe all that you see around you came into being by accident?
I want to save children. But you don’t. You can never save children as long as you support the state. Gubmint is the root cause of Humanity’s suffering. But you don’t see it that way, the same way you don’t see there is a Divine Creator.
We are all entitled to our own opinions. But we are never entitled to our own facts.

Are you doing anything to save starving children?
[QUOTE=GrouchyUSMC;1679513403]Are you doing anything to save starving children?[/QUOTE]
Boom. Checkmate.
I know your question is directed to MT. For years I’ve been donating eggs to the local food bank. I’ve also been selling eggs at work and 100% of the proceeds go to local Allied Services who in turn help others offset medical costs.
Im not sharing this info to get pat on the back. Im sharing this info to encourage others we can do our part no matter how small.
The sad thing is that people who want to help others are also getting raped by gubmint who keeps taxing us while they print money out of thin air to use Ukraine as money laundering facility.
Just imagine how much more we could do for others if gubmint left us alone.
But no. There are peeps who worship gubmint instead without seeing the fact that gubmints do nothing but rape and pillage.

Making children is a conscious decision.
[QUOTE=NorwichGrad;1679480723]Those of you who took the jab. I’m praying you don’t die suddenly. Real talk.[/QUOTE]For those of you who didn't, I hope you don't die a slow, painful death. I don't see how any of that is relevant, but whatever, I'm not a monster.
[QUOTE=OldFartTom;1679481533]Is the raw-number of cases of great significance? Does it matter if there's a spike? (srs question)
Are people getting admitted to hospital or dying or having health ruined? If hopefully not... then let's not sweat about it.
(That all said I don't wish anyone has the inconvenience/unpleasantness of getting sick with anything. And I understand it's not good for clinically vulnerable, but neither are a lot of things)
And to NG... I don't know of anyone who's died from the Vax, although a couple of people who died from (original strain) COVID. At the very start, when Vax very first came out -- the risk/benefit balance of Vax was likely significant nett benefit. But nowadays... on balance sure it's a small negative[/QUOTE]It's still a small positive, but realistically, unless you're in an at-risk class, it's nothing you have to really worry about.

Actually I am, I donate what I can financially, in addition to that I do food drives, toy drives for Christmas as well as deliver for the Christmas Hamper program. I also donate and work for the local food bank, initiated a school breakfast program and donate a lot of my time to assist with the less fortunate.
just to mention a few. This is something that I have been doing for over 40 years.
I think my efforts are valued more, appreciated and 100% more effective than talking to an imaginary sky daddy but you do you, whatever makes you feel good.
[QUOTE=NorwichGrad;1679514153]Boom. Checkmate.

Not checkmate at all Dumbass, again you are making assumptions. Read my reply to Grouchy.

No weakness, just have a low tolerance for little bitches that make assumptions. You should know that first hand:D

I'm glad you're actually doing something you are passionate about. I work with some foundations and do some non profit work myself.
World Vision is just one "sky daddy" organization that is currently feeding over 3.5 million children in the name of said "sky daddy". Is that not enough?
Prayer isn't like placing an Amazon order and waiting for two day delivery.

You are having a dik measuring contest about volunteer work on a bbing forum.
Crybaby bitch is the guy crying about checkmate comments and other fuking nonsense.

Wrong X2, Nice try fabrication bullsh!t again, There is no dick measuring contest. Grouchy asked me a question. I answered. No crying here, just setting the record straight.
Your reading/comprehension skills leave a lot to be desired but I don't have the crayons or desire to explain this to you, so you will just have to figure it out. Good Luck!

Excellent Grouchy, kudos. Much respect for people who volunteer to better their community and try to make the world better for others. Well done.

It's great, unfortunately. It's never enough when it comes to hunger.

Sounds to me like one would be better off ordering some groceries from amazon for hungry kids. Many will probably starve to death waiting for Sky Daddy to clear his inbox.

Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel defended the company's plans to raise the price of its Covid vaccine at a Senate hearing Wednesday, saying the move was necessary because its government funding will soon end.
"Until now, the U.S. government has purchased and distributed the vaccine. Now Moderna, a small company, must ensure that anyone who wants a vaccine can get one at a location convenient to them," Bancel told members of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions at a hearing titled “Taxpayers Paid Billions For It: So Why Would Moderna Consider Quadrupling the Price of the COVID Vaccine?”
The company has said it plans to increase the cost of the vaccine to consumers to $130 a dose from the current price of about $26.

Yep, pharmacists are telling customers to get it before the end of the month, if you are gonna get it at all.

I can understand why, that's one hell of a jump.
Pockets keeps going on and on trying to prove it.
You look silly, and don’t sound like you even have muscles especially if you think Steiner uses synthol, his look is definitely obtainable for a pro athlete.

What’s interesting is you’re saying exactly what the solution is and what the Bible tells us to do.
All the nonprofit organizations that I know of that fight hunger all say we have more than enough food.
The Bible tells those who follow Him that we are to help the poor and hungry. If everyone got on board with that, we wouldn’t have an issue would we? He isn’t the problem, it’s us.

The issue is what is the efficacy...? Benefit versus sides. Will it increase or decrease problems in population as a whole or decrease hospitalisations and deaths etc?
Even for the updated (bivalent) vaccines, the whole reason there's a spike is because whatever is going around can evade the immune responses learned from vaccination and previous strains.
Except for the very most vulnerable who'd be under doctor lead care - that's up to their doc on individual circumstances, more generally... what's the point of vaccinating people?
(As you've seen from previous posts, I'm not "anti Vax". Just no longer pro this Vax as circumstances have changed)
