COVID-19 Response: An issue that shouldn't be at all political....yet here we are

[nastynice]

....says the guy constantly assigning false statements to everyone that disagrees with him. If only you could see how truly ridiculous you come off.

I'm just fascinated by how the subconscious minds effects the conscious mind. So I like to point these things out when I see it. That's why I mentioned the atheist agenda. Nobody here is consciously following it.

Always with this type of baseless drivel where you try to paint yourself as the only person who sees what's "really" going on. Just because you're delusional enough to believe the stupid **** you do, doesn't mean everyone else is.

You claim to be an expert on science and epidemiology, yet say you'll refuse to take the COVID-19 vaccine. You constantly yap about how racist and how bad for this country Trump is, yet also said you can't really decide who you want to win the presidential race (before finally admitting that you don't even vote). You constantly bring up your religion and how important mosque is to you, yet claim you're "not religious".

Basically everything that comes out of your mouth is a bunch of nonsensical hot air. In your mind though? You're the smartest guy in every room you enter.

Please make a list of each and every state that currently considers churches as essential businesses, oh wise one.

Can you list the states where they're not?
This stuff changes constantly......a number of states did list churches as essential earlier.

So back in april.the state of florida deemed church an essential business.

So according to this you agree that churches in Florida should be considered essential? If there were a group advocating to label it non essential, you guys would oppose it on grounds that the local govt labeled it essential?

This question is open to all from media crew..

Just going to quote what I said a few pages back:

Tautologically, it’s non-essential because it doesn’t provide anything that a human needs to function. But also legally it is non-essential because the regulations outline what the government classifies as essential. Their job is to classify essential and non-essential services in determining how the health code will be administered.

No matter how many people say it, people wanting things doesn’t make them essential whether it’s one person or everyone but one person.

Just going to quote what I said a few pages back:

My post was to address those who posed the argument that what the govt deems essential is what should be followed.

Your argument is different, my post doesn't address yours.

The problem with your argument is it is still just opinion. We dont need electricity to function as humans, but we deem it essential. Same with many things like best buy, indoor dining, etc.

There are two ways to think about it. One is the legal and the other is just the basic definition of the word. Essential services has a meaning based on the dictionary definition where essential means "a thing that is absolutely necessary". Religious services don't mean that criteria. There's just no argument that it is absolutely necessary. Then there is the legal aspect, which you pointed out the governor of Florida made saying that religious service was considered essential. He has the legal right to make that determination and there's a big reason why Florida's handling of COVID has been universally panned and criticized repeatedly.

All of americas response has been criticized, not just Florida.
You said

There dozens of entities listed as essential which are not absolutely necessary. Why are you singling out churches? What about Best Buy?

Michigan, Ohio, Kansas...just a few more states who originally listed churches as essential or exempted from further restrictions. Some states didn't because they never actually locked down as a state. Liquor stores are considered essential and most here have agreed with that. Well guess where most AA meetings are held? If a liquor store is essential, certainly an AA meeting is.

But none of this changes anything. Those without a religious affiliation are going to feel different than those who do, and not one of us has the power to change any of what we think should be changed.

Quote what? You stating that if X is essential then Y is even if that isn't how local government/health experts/doctors in the area labeled it?

If I quote something where you are arguing for something going against NY local government/health officials/doctors plan is that what you are asking for? I certainly can.

I can’t believe this is still going. It’s obviously subjective.

Liquor stores aren't essential. But legally speaking they are considered essential for one very key reason: $$$$. They bring in a ridiculous amount of tax revenue for the states. They also happen to fall under food/restaurant for most states. But the money is the reason they are really considered essential.

oh please, you're just reaching...are you not one of the people who talked about the essential needs of liquor for an alcoholic? that that's a reason they're essential? Even if not you, you're still extrapolating to suggest money is the reason...there are far larger revenue sources a state could deem essential if tax revenue was their interest

Who's on first?

This is what you said

"You are the one trying to say your opinion overrides everyone else’s, the experts, the local govt etc"

I have said numerous time that we should forget subjective opinion and try and categorize things based on objective measurement.

How is it possible for you to interpret that as you think I feel my opinion should be the authority?
