I believe this pandemic has really exposed the religious for what they are. Blindly faithful as long as it supports the belief that rules or good common sense behaviors for the common good don't apply. I've met so few who truly care for thier fellow humans.

When you are convinced that God is in control and that, as a Christian, he has your back, nothing that science or basic common sense has to offer seems to find a home in the minds of the faithful. Blind faith is a bit like blind love in that the mind sees only what it wants to see.

The pandemic in my area of the USA has branched into people dying that had ailments that would kill them anyway. Religious Trumpers explain carefully that there are 4 to 5 strains of this virus and they go through it with you like a doctor. It does not matter that too many people have died of what they call flu, it is just suddenly that these other ailments are there kicking in to kill you. Nobody died of COVID-19. That is not what kills people. Trump has declared we have rounded the curve on this so we have victory over it now and it "is what it is." You can tell by the use of this phrase in my area what people secretly believe. My view is that they are nuttier than a fruitcake.

One of my very best friends thinks this. I got mad at him and our friendship is now mostly just saying hi to one another by text once a week. They will tell us emotional nutcases what is going on and we should thank them profusely for their tolerance of our ignorance. That's life in u$A. In China they're mad at delivery folks and complaining to a degree that eliminates their pittance pay. Humans are just fucked up and better off dead, in my opinion.

I have met a few, too. But we only have a small rump of believers left here in the UK, so there is a much higher proportion of genuine ones.
