The Covid-19 God

The Covid-19 God

 

The following discussion could occur anyplace at any time where there is a congregation between masked and unmasked individuals.

 

(M=masked, U=unmasked)

 

M – Why aren’t you wearing a mask?

U – Why are you wearing a mask?

M – Because of the virus!

U – Are you referring to the Covid-19 virus?

M – Yes. I wear a mask to protect myself from the virus and I wonder why people like you don’t do the same.

U – So you fear the virus?

M – Yes!

U – Do you fear God?

M - What does that matter? Besides, I do not believe in God!

U – Are you an atheist?

M – Yes, I do not believe in God or anything like that.

U – What is it about this entity called God that you don’t believe in?

M – There is no proof that God exists; no one has ever seen God or had any kind of interaction with this entity called God.

U – That’s not what the Holy Bible says.

M – The Bible is a bunch of stories written by men to support a cause, full of errors and contradictions, with no scientific consensus.

U – Do you know that the Bible has never been proven to be wrong, no errors or contradictions?

M – So you say!

U – Over the past 2000 years scientists and archeologists have uncovered relics, cities & sites and documents that support what the Bible says. Nothing uncovered has proven otherwise.

M – All fabrication.

U – What about every thing around you, plants animals, air & water, people including you and the entire universe? Where did all of matter and living things come from?

M – Evolution, starting with the Big Bang theory.

U – You know you just blew apart your position with the word “theory”. Just like Einstein’s proclamation, it was just a theory, not factual, no scientific consensus, lots of unanswered questions.

M – Well, maybe it still has some gaps but many very prominent people state that is true so who am I to challenge their intelligence? Besides, there is nothing else to explain it all.

U – What about a Creator!

M – You mean God?

U – Yes, God. Everything in creation down to the smallest atom reeks of intelligent design, not accidental collision.

M – I still don’t believe in God and I won’t be convinced.

U – So again, why are you wearing a mask?

M – C’mon man – because of Covid-19.

U – Have you seen this virus; do you know what it looks like?

M – I saw pictures of the virus. Very mean looking.

U – Those are just artistic conceptions. Do you realize that no one has ever seen a virus?

M – Sure they have else how would they know what a virus looks like?

U – They don’t. Most other molecular particles can be seen under an electron microscope but never has a virus molecule been visually isolated or photographed including the named Covid-19 virus?

M – Just because it can’t be seen isn’t sufficient proof that the virus doesn’t exist else why are people getting sick, many dying, if there isn’t a virus?

U – OK, so you believe that there is a virus based upon what you’ve been told in the media although no one has ever visually identified a virus cell and that there is little to no factual evidence as to the nature of this virus just information based upon a bunch of stories written by very prominent people to support a cause that is full of errors and contradictions with no scientific consensus or absolute proof that a virus even exists. In other words, Covid-19 is a theory that you fully believe in and you fear it. Does that sum it all up as to why you are wearing a mask?

M – Yep and I do not need any other proof.

U – Fair enough. So again, why don’t you believe in God?
