    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    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"...

    Can someone here explain to me what is wrong with giving to the poor?

    Umm, no. Off the top of my head, there are at least 10-20 passages in the Old Testament -- Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Amos come to mind. Then in the New Testament, pretty much all of the Gospels. Luke 2 is a good place to start. And while Paul doesn't hammer on it as much as others, he certainly...

    Can someone here explain to me what is wrong with giving to the poor?

    Why would you ask that? Is there something you need to confess? If so, know that Jesus forgives all sins. I don't need to hear any confessions, but Jesus loves you, no matter what.

    Can someone here explain to me what is wrong with giving to the poor?

    Indeed, it does. And while many so-called Christians are quick to use this verse when poor people are not working, why do they never bring it up for trust-fund babies who earn their income through capital gains, interest income, and basically being lucky enough to have been born to rich...

    Can someone here explain to me what is wrong with giving to the poor?

    Ah, yes. I remember now, Jesus said to the poor man, "But have you tried to get a job? First, go and try to get a job, and then, only after you have proven to me that you are not some lazy bum, then you will be worthy of my love." Wait, no he didn't. I don't recall anything in Scripture that...

    Still waiting for a reputable, peer-reviewed, scientific study. All you've posted is highly biased tabloid opinion pieces.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    Sorry, I just got here yesterday, after a long absence. I haven't had time to read the last 243 pages. I'll try to find some of those peer-reviewed studies.

    You didn't have to talk about it. You just did it. I saw it, JTB saw it, and plenty of others saw it.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    I appreciate this post. I do worry about the myocarditis issue, and am glad that my doctor is taking this seriously. My son turns 12 tomorrow. We are discussing whether he will get vaccinated, due to this very fact. We're not sure about this one risk, and his doctor is being great about talking...

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    Dozens. I lost count around 15. All of them were unvaccinated. Most of them before there was a vaccine available, although one was more recent, and simply didn't get the vaccine, because like you they thought they were "too good." Well, now they're good and dead.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    You are not reading that right. I am against killing babies. The difference between you and me is that I am consistent. I think ALL people should be protected, not just fetuses. You seem to think the only time people should be protected is if it's not too inconvenient to you. The minute you...

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    Curious.... I'm assuming you think it's fine for women to get abortions, as long as they pay for it, then? After all, you have no problem risking other people's lives, and are willing to pay a fine rather than take a jab to prevent it. How is that different than women willing to pay for an...

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    Not nearly as stupid as yours. No, the vaccine doesn't prevent the virus 100%. The vaccine: (1) reduces your likelihood of getting the virus, and (2) reduces the severity of the disease if you do get the virus. Think of it as like a seatbelt. If you're driving, and not wearing a seatbelt...

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    I don't have any peer-reviewed studies either way. However, I would be more than happy to read any such studies you provide links for. Unlike you, I won't claim to have seen studies that say something without referring to the study in such a way to support the claim. Otherwise, I could say...

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    Except that during the fascism of the early 20th century, they were trying to kill people, and now they're trying to prevent people from being killed. You think it's okay to have the freedom to kill someone else. I happen to disagree. For people who normally claim to be "pro-life," even if...

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    True. But anecdotal from a person who has actually experienced something would be better than "my sister's friend's boyfriend knows someone who said that her cousin...." Which is what most of these stories -- including yours -- amount to. Ummm ... first, that is the definition of anecdotal. You...

    Can someone here explain to me what is wrong with giving to the poor?

    Scripture tells us that if a man has two coats, he must give one to the man who has no coats. Scripture tells us that it is harder for a rich man to get into heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. Scripture tells us that God will give good things to the poor, and the rich...

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

    I'm wondering if there's anyone here who has gotten one or more doses of any vaccine and has developed negative side effects from it? It's all well and good to say "I heard that" or "people say that," but without actual evidence, hearsay is just rumors.

    Basic income

    Depends on whose plan. There are several different "Basic Income" plans out there. Some are funded by business taxes, some by general income taxes, some by wealth taxes. All of them are some form of a redistribution of wealth, from the "haves" to the "have nots." The question isn't "where does...
