How then do you explain the death rate being lower in Florida than other places that had stricter lock-downs?

Keep in mind that Florida has the oldest population in the country.

The prophecies about Christ, are an exception imo. During a time of large illiteracy rates, we have more literature and ancient manuscripts about a Jew claiming to be God, from a back water Middle Eastern area, than we do about many other historical figures, who are much more contemporaneous.

I've asked that a number of times. Never get an answer.

I've also asked repeatedly why there have been ZERO outbreaks at Disney et al in Orlando. Never get an answer to that either.

Never paid much attention to what the Pope says, and these days he seems to be speaking a lot of leftist mumbo jumbo.

There's no mention of a Pope anywhere in the Bible by the way.
"Pope" is just based on a Latin word for "father"...

They came up with the idea that Peter was the first "father of the church" and supposedly he was the first "Pope"...

Which is just further evidence that the Catholic Church does not follow scripture nor teach from the Bible, lol


Matthew 23:9

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

The anti-Christ is always whoever the right-wing hates at the current moment.

I have no respect for the Catholic church, but threads like these show that if the right-wing dream of a white Christian ethnotheocracy ever came to pass, the definition of "true Christian" will get narrower and narrower once the atheists, gays, liberals, etc have been dealt with. Fascists ALWAYS have to have an out-group.
