If you're born of the Holy Ghost you are born from the get go, whether you know it or not, then the wasted effort might not be coming to the knowledge of the truth, but ever learning and never being able to come to the knowledge of the truth

But to me it looked like it would have been going down the street, it didn't seem like it as parked along the curb, might be I only saw it for a sec or two. I noticed a couple of the law enforcement officers they held the briefing seem a little rattled, I don't think they have seen a firecracker like that before, I even heard one reference radiation when talking about the area. Again that might have simply been what they might be checking for but that seems somewhat backward to have those guys walking around that area and not checking first. That was an very large area impacted.

“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. … Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
These famous few lines suggest a kind of compassionate solidarity, urging us to a sense of deep connection when others die, or might die. But we find his real point is not just compassion for others, even during a plague, but the necessity of attention to the self. In the prayer that follows that famous meditation, Donne says to God:
“I humbly accept thy voice in the sound of this sad and funeral bell. And first, I bless thy glorious name, that in this sound and voice I can hear thy instructions, in another man’s to consider mine own condition; and to know, that this bell which tolls for another, before it come to ring out, may take me in too.”
This is not exactly the stuff our usual holiday preparations are made of, even among the religious. In a more regular year, we still start clutching at the straws of seasonal jollity around now, since the gloom of even a normal winter can indeed oppress. Themes of light, peace and hope are appealing to us all amid the winter dark, as we look uncertainly to the portal of a new year. CO: Anabaptist World, (today)
AMEN.

And the Psalmist, and Paul, lied when they said all men were liars?
Are you trying to tell us you have never lied? It seems so.
Like I said: wasted effort. Despite your sneaky face

I never said that at all.
Wow, I never took you for a person that likes to twist another persons words or simplify things down.
What I stated is the immune system is complex and healthy people get sick and to think other wise once again is denying the complexity of the body.
We are constantly assaulted by environmental toxins and sorry but the body can and does reach a limit to how well it deals with those toxins.
And if you cannot converse without twisting my words then best you put me on ignore since I do not want to cause any undue discomfort.

Guess what. I live in California. The lockdowns since may were mainly just hot air. People got bored and went out anyway. The stores are full most of the time. 3x normal in the daytime with so many not going to work. Scarfs, bandanas, gators everywhere. Homemade masks are $5-7. Freeways still get jammed. People here are used to being on the go. In 'n Out Burgers has lines around the building. Inside dining is closed but fast food sells better now than before. The liquor and convenience stores are still open too.
