Didn’t one of those pastors die from the virus after Easter?

Their God gave them a brain. Or, did She?

Their God gave them a brain. Or, did She? If God were a woman, the reward for being a good person would not be "eternal life". It would be a new purse or diamond. If God were a woman, "foreplay" would be the male doing dishes or running the vacuum. If God were a woman, the Bible would have a recipe as a preface to each chapter. If God were a woman, wars would never have been fought with spears, arrows, firearms, etc. Arguments would have been settled by crochet competitions or seeing who could come up with the best Pinterest craft project. If God were a woman, the Trinity would be Goddess, Daughter, and Holy Seamstress. How am I doing??????? Am I in trouble yet????

Actually, it's my belief the Goddess/God is Spirit. Not female or male.
But, I'm an Atheist so what do I know?

Nature is my Goddess. I worship Her creation.
I believe the male God story was created by men to have control and power over other men and women. They made their God male just like them.
Btw, I couldn't care less about a diamond, I don't sew and have no desire to learn, I don't carry a purse or need a recipe file.
A Goddess is good enough on Her own. She doesn't need 2 other side kicks to confuse Her worshippers.
Just saying. Lol.
Don't worry. We won't tell your wife. We don't have to tell her. She already knows and loves you anyway. You are a lucky man. ☺

I worry about any church that talks about Satan. My church never does.
My church has been closed now for over two months (I've lost track of time) and we have been exploring new ways to care for each other, to continue to meet online and to study the bible and partake in worship.
In this time we have lost two members and have been unable to attend their funeral services but no-one had died of COVID-19 nor has anyone been infected.
We do long for the time when we will open our physical doors again but we won't do so until the risk to others is deemed sufficiently low to take the risk.
Does this approach make us less Christian than the militant anti-Satan brigade? No, it just means that we are a lot more realistic.
God preserve us from those who are so heavenly minded that they are of no earthly use.

Warrigal said ~ "God preserve us from those who are so heavenly minded that they are of no earthly use." Wonderful statement. May I steal it from you?

You certainly can, but it is not original to me. I first heard it from a great catholic nun when I was working in a catholic school as a teacher. She was referring to some of her sisters in the convent.

I'm beginning to see signs of those trying to turn the riots into a religion war....Christians being persecuted etc....mostly on FB..yesterday this was posted by a Catholic right wing person....
