I agree it could be offensive to some and is needlessly so; being called stupid would be offensive to most, and is even more needless.

 

thank you for your kind words. There is no issue with beer and Christianity the alcohol issue is only with man's religion. This brings on an issue with how some Christians view beer or any alcohol but it is not an issue to me. I drink one beer maybe every 3 months or so. I think it is good for the system.
When I said I would gladly have a conversation with you I had in mind explaining the facts that surround the fulfilled prophecy in scripture, which I think you said you would be interested in hearing. I realize that you are not interested in my faith and I have no problem with that. I also am keenly aware that almost no one cares what I think and I have gotten used to that. I too wish you the best.

 

If it gives peace and happiness then good on them, The world is a difficult place to exist and I will not begrudge anyone happiness...

 

Here's another article about the unexpected "features" of that virus:

https://elemental.medium.com/corona...isease-which-explains-everything-2c4032481ab2

After reading that and a few others I personally went from "oh well if I catch it I'll recover quickly so what" to "Lets just try a bit harder not to catch it".

 

I think that is not wise and probably under informed. They are now finding that a large percentage of those who recover from the initial pulmonary component of covid do end up with other forms of permanent damage either to lungs, heart, kidneys, or neuro damage to the brain which are often not easily recognized until much later. The effects on sense of smell and taste are well documented, and even those who recover and didn't completely lose those senses many do have sensory reduction. There are many cases now being seen of recovered individuals several months post-infection starting to show signs of bipolar mood swings and depression. Many recovered cases who at first think they got of easy are finding later that they are left with reduced lung function and heart function as well as damage to other organs in the body. This is NOT a version of the flu, this is a serious disease, and you really do not want this thing in your body even if you have near 100% odds of surviving the initial attack on the lungs.

 

Having viewed this forum topic, with great interest, for over ten years and with different ownership, I have concluded it is indeed private property and subject to the rules of the owner. It is what it is.

 

I don't see why anyone should be offended. You have the right to state your opinion on any subject, the same as everyone else. We have free will to read it or not. As Rye said, there is also an 'off' button for a whole thread which can be used.

I think what non-believers object to is if someone of Faith pins them down and insists on them listening to something they are not interested in - but that is not the case here. Just read a posting if you want and ignore it if you don't. By all means, have a conversation about it if the ideas interest you, but keep it pleasant and respectful. The conversation should be about different views, not a lecture on why one is wrong.
