Why did God create Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

Post #1

Post by Donray »

If you belive God create it, then God at least does nothing to stop it. Is God killing many humans again to be spiteful? To teach us a lesson? Just because he can?

OR

IS God testing us to make sure we still have faith as he kills your parents, spouse or kids?

Today, the makers of disinfectants issued warnings to not ingest their products as recommended by the president of the United States as a treatment for COVID-19.

Don't drink Lysol.

It's official, dumb is now fashionable! :(

Hype that.
How does this apply to my argument?

The recommended use of "Lysol" as a medication is another mistake which could be deadly.

I've never mentioned or accused Dr. Fauci of anything!

Where did this accusation come from?

He's doing the best he can in a tedious position.

I don't know what you're talking about. No one recommended the use of Lysol as a medication. Such things contribute nothing to a debate about some of your hyped up claims.

The accusation would include him since he's part of the experts on the team that referred to the model showing 100,000 plus dying over time. Here are your words that I'm referring to:

To say otherwise might cost them their jobs.

God did not create this virus. This virus was created by science. The science was funded by the West.

This virus will make mankind realize the folly of having science without religion. Science by itself is guideless. Materialism is the greatest evil.

Unsupported assertions are relied on in preaching of all flavors. They are valueless in reasoned debate.

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

Not believing isn't the same as believing not.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

William: I have no problem with the idea that 'God' created the Covid-19 virus. I have no problem with the filthy systems of disparity under lock-down and Earth rejuvenating from the filth of that.

Earth Entity has no problem with your loved ones dying...this does not mean She has no love for them. She is giving us an opportunity to change our filthy ways and design better ways of living together than the thoughtless ways that we have been selfishly living.

This is one of the things that baffles me about some believers. No matter how solid the evidence that prayer does not work, does not heal, they still insist it works. There is no way to argue with this claim since facts and studies can't convince.
When the impossible is involved we can believe two others gods exist, but can also believe zero is two. Here's the mathematical proof:

1/-1 = -1/1 and take the square root of both sides, so

1/i = i/1 and now cross multiply

1 = -1 now add 1 to each side, 2 = zero. Ergo the Trinity is okay - just one God.

It takes the strongest human reason to think, after pleading with heaven for a cure and actually getting one, that prayer had nothing to do with it. In the end even if it is just a soft comforting cloth it serves its purpose.

I would think fanaticism is a tad worse than materialism. Moderation in all things is perhaps better advice. Man creates square wheels and learns from his errors, without divine instruction. It is the only way we have.
