GOD IS DEAD*

 * WELL, SHE SHOULD HAVE GOT VACCINATED.


You are aware that there's been lots of debate about Covid-19 vaccination and how, overwhelmingly, religions have either refused to acknowledge that Covid-19 exists or have advised their followers to not vaccinate.

We've had idiots like Brian Tamaki organise rallies against government measures to ensure safety (fortunately he is being prosecuted) and have had thousands of religious nutters posting on social media, demonstrating, sending out leaflets, putting up signs and, in all sorts of ways trying to suggest that either Covid-19 is a hoax or, if it exists then if you have faith god will save you.

Here's an interesting and balanced take on religions and Covid:

THE DANGER OF RELIGIOUS MISINFORMATION



Some religious leaders, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hasidic Jews, flout social distancing rules and insist that God will protect their congregation. And as in previous pandemics, some have gone looking for scapegoats to explain why God would allow such immense suffering. The usual suspects are touted - homosexuals, atheists, adulterers, abortionists, Chinese, black people, the Labour government, socialists and environmentalists.

It's opportune to bring together some of this blogging community's religious experts who can act as spokespersons to discuss this.

We have with us from The Curmudgeons Inc.ⓒ The Religious Curmudgeon. Richard's Bass Bag has provided Angry Jesus. Robert The Apathetic Sinner and Toilet Cleaner has thrown up Robert the Apathetic Sinner.

The Religious Curmudgeon: Hi guys.

Angry Jesus: I haven't touched a drop and I don't do drugs so what the hell are you ...

The Religious Curmudgeon: Sheesh! Touchy. That wasn't a question AJ it was a standard form of greeting as used, in a casual way, by millions of people who ...

Robert The Apathetic Sinner: Saying 'Hi guys' is like asking how's my day going which  is a lot like how are you. People only want to hear the word "Good".

The Religious Curmudgeon: Sheesh!

Angry Jesus: I object to that 'Sheesh'. Sheesh is a bowdlerised version of 'Jesus'. If you want to bloody swear and take my name in vain just say fucking 'Jesus' OK?

The Religious Curmudgeon: (Under his breath) Christ! Let's move on shall we. I brought ...

Angry Jesus: Where's the coffee?

The Religious Curmudgeon: What?

Angry Jesus: Coffee. Where is it. Richard of Richard's Bass Bag always provides coffee.

Robert The Apathetic Sinner:  I just want a coffee, not an interrogation about my life.

The Religious Curmudgeon and Angry Jesus: What?

The Religious Curmudgeon: Well, TC asked me to get you two idio .. guys along to discuss the dangers of religious misinformation in regards to Covid-19 but I can't see us getting anywhere on this so why don't you both fuck off to where you came from.

Robert The Apathetic Sinner and Angry Jesus: Sheesh!

The Religious Curmudgeon: Well that's it. I guess that ....

Richard The Catholic Apologist: (sticking his head in the window) I just want to apologise for the behaviour of those guys. I know that I wasn't invited - an oversight I'm sure- but how about the two of us sitting down to discuss the question?

The Religious Curmudgeon: OK, might as well, we ...

Richard The Catholic apologist: Where's the coffee?

The Religious Curmudgeon: Sheesh!

"I'm surprised Arthur was invited as he has some interesting ideas though mostly silly like yours..."

I couldn't see where this Arthur guy was mentioned in this post. Please explain.

Good copying and pasting.
I do that too.

Arthur wasn't invited. If Robert had read the post, and his copies of the meeting minutes he would have seen that the attendees were: The Religious Curmudgeon,Angry Jesus and Robert The Apathetic Sinner. A gatecrasher was Richard The Catholic Apologist. No Arthurs there.

Do you mean Evil Doctor Richard?

Sheesh! You two guys get lots wrong.

It's not easy to remember the names of minor characters who are so insignificant they don't have their own blog sites.
