    Religion is closed but consumerism is open

    its interesting ..

    Churches and synagogues were all totally shut down. Pastors were getting arrested for trying to have services. in some states cops were patrolling church parking lots on easter to give tickets to people trying to attend easter service.

    meanwhile .. WalMart is thriving . no cops patrolling the Walmart parking lot to stop anyone from going, everyone is flocking there. to Walmart . but Churches are being patrolled . lol. wtf

    everything in Walmart is made in china. yet our society supports that consumerism just fine while shutting down religious services.

    I guess buying goods from CHINA is essential , but freedom to gather and worship and practice your faith is not

    Our church just started live streaming a few weeks ago - it's been just fine for us old people, but I feel bad for our teenage kids (15 & 17). They really miss connecting in person with their peers, it would have driven me insane as a teenager.

    Our 5 year old could care less, she's still running around like a maniac, like always.

    It’s utter bs, totally agreed.

    Plus the amount of crap we buy from china is shameful. And the fact that the medical crap they are producing now is many times defective, that’s criminal.

    that's abusive, I see we're at the end of time ... Religious persecution is starting




    I think it is funny that quarantine, quarantine for supermarket employees doesn’t exist. if the covid-19 is really serious, they can get it and pass it on to their family members who are locked at home. It’s hilarious, it doesn’t help It just messes up the economy

    All the churches here are open. Libs tried to stop one and got shut down by my bros. Literally people I deal with every day.


    I can assure you if I was going to church and a man of any status stood in my way I would kill him without notice.

    GOD
    FAMILY
    CHURCH
    COUNTRY.

    Road, sincere question. What’s the difference between God & Church? Thought they were the same.

    Sometimes I interchange family & country, it’s a tough one for me. Tend to lean country over family, but then again, I don’t have kids.

    God= good
    Family= your priority below him
    Church= stewardship
    Country= laws

    When abraham was told to leave Gomorrah, he took one friend. Lot...

    Lot was permitted only because Abraham's plea. A man was his family in those days, (old testament).

    Lot would have been his brother...

    None of the lesser priorities were spared destruction.

    Noah...
    All the people he witnessed to...
    Died.
    Beyond his family and the family of his sons.
    All countries destroyed.

    Joseph...
    Sold into slavery by his brothers.
    In the seat of vengeance he spared them.
    As the ruler of a country.

    It repeats and repeats.

    The priorities are clear.
    Not saying I haven't violated them.

    Hope I aint drinking when God comes back.
    I will not be scared of shit.

    That would be bad.
    I will likely be hitting him with a shiny axe while shooting at him with a 12 gauge.

    SWAT and God need to learn to announce their arrival FFS...

    Weeks ago I said Walmart should be shut down you literally have hundreds of people in the store but nobody seems to have an issue with that but if you're in a group of more than 3 people in public their fineing you. They should be like any other retailer you order online (essential items only) and they bring it out to your car. They have more than enough employees to do it.

    Benelli?
    Thats a nice shotgun.

    I have a mossberg 590 tactical and my axe liquid on my bedside.

    I move gfs glock to my side because I have taken it to a few jobs lately.


    Johnny Cash's final album was pretty awesome. He was dying and knew it and it was like he was already seeing beyond. The guy known for straightforward songs laid out some really cryptic songs.

    Remington 870 tactical with a surefire under my bed and a G23 with a surefire in the night stand. (in too much pain at the moment to take pics).

    I’d get a drink with you both...


    GOD BLESS JOHNNY CASH

    It's long been my impression that religion and finance were were tightly intertwined. A visit to the Vatican will prove that out.

    yep . Jesus himself had his disciples carry a "money bag" . when Jesus went to the temple, even though he himself was God and was the temple, they made him pay the 'temple tax'.
    religion uses money just like the rest of the world

    "Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket." -Eric Hoffer

    All politics today...
    The NRA
    Catholics under the pope
    Most churches I see
    Nearly all alleged non-profits and charitable donations as well as foundations.

    Save the rainforest and save the trees. Save the whales and the bees....

    There is always someone gaining from it even if its just a shiny badge.

    Certainly applies to the World Health Organization - that's one political thief I would love to see the U.S. completely cease funding.

    It's hilarious to hear big government morons defend that bullshit moneymaker, especially in light of how they've basically become China's diplomatic puppet recently. If they weren't so invested in protecting China's reputation at the onset of the outbreak, this may have been quashed months ago. Fuck the WHO.
