A "Christian" who calls someone a liar. Need I say more?
I'm guessing you're white.
I'm also guessing you know very few people who are not white. You might have one or two "friends" who aren't white. But I bet if I asked them, they wouldn't consider themselves more than "casual acquaintances" to you.
Look at the stats. Among persons of color, a much larger number of people contracted COVID, especially in its early days. In fact, if a person of color didn't know at least 10 people who died of COVID, they are really lucky.
Knowing a large number of people who died of COVID doesn't make me a liar.
Not knowing a large number of people who died of COVID makes you privileged.
Assuming that someone who isn't privileged must be lying is just being a jerk. Don't bother apologizing to me. I'm used to it. You might want to repent, though. That's up to you and God.
Not that I owe you an explanation, but:
- Several members of my extended family are/were in the health industry, and I have/had several friends in the health industry. Nurses were hit harder than doctors, partially because they worked longer hours and saw more patients, partially because they didn't have adequate protective equipment. One was a cashier at a grocery store. While people in offices and restaurants and movie theaters and schools stayed home, grocery stores had to stay open. So yeah, if all of your friends are white-collar workers, it wouldn't surprise me at all that you don't know very many people who died of COVID. Again, that doesn't make me a liar, it makes you privileged. And a jerk for thinking other people are lying because they're not privileged.
- My brother was African American. His widow, ex-wife, and all of his children are African American. All of their relatives are African American. I can't even count the number of people on that side of the family, once you start adding up all the cousins and step-cousins and so on. But like I said, these populations were hit hard.
- I am the only white person at my job. Therefore, most of the people I associate with, outside my family, are not white. Our Admin Manager lost 3 members of her immediate family alone, and a 4th is still suffering from "long Covid."
