For over a year I have kept my mouth shut. I have come to my own conclusions in this year and a half and am dumbfounded at those who completely refuse to admit they might be wrong.
From the very beginning of Covid…people decided, before there was ever a vaccine, they would refuse it. From the very beginning I was completely confused by that. I have heard the arguments from those who don’t agree with vaccinations for their children and some I understand your stance. The other 95 percent of you….I don’t agree with at all. However, I chose to let you live with your theories…until I started being attacked for mine. I’ve been told that allowing my children to receive vaccinations is like setting them on fire. Are you even kidding me right now.
I’ve been blown away at the sheer ignorance for people refusing to wear a mask…even though they’ve been proven to work when worn correctly….people still refuse. Even those who have been told what to expect when getting on an airplane, they still give the airline a hard time…every single time.
When did this become a political thing? When did it become something against your personal freedom to wear a mask? Again, I’m not speaking of the shutdown…nor the stores that were allowed to be open and those that could not. We clearly showed as a country that we completely have no idea how to do a pandemic correctly. We closed down to early…we remained closed too long and certain states learned quickly about their dictators for governors..this is NOT what I’m talking about.
Sadly, We have a huge group of people who refuse the vaccine and then refuse to wear a mask or stay away from large crowds. So you refuse to wear a mask, refuse a vaccine and then continue to spread this disease? I can’t think of anything more selfish. I continue to hear about people who had fevers and felt poorly but still went out with other people..no mask and no vaccine…
Now those of us who have done our research, and have decided to get a vaccine that’s working and helping against this disease and we are told by our fellow Christian friends how we are fools. How this is a government conspiracy. How we have been lied to. How we will explode..I was even quoted scripture stating that I was a fool. Told that they would pray for my attitude because I asked them to possibly think and look at the country of India, and how awful it has been there previously…but they don’t want to listen.
Instead they high five one another while they misquote scripture…state that they love Jesus and refuse to help their fellow man. I have to tell you, you are doing nothing but dividing. I have unfollowed and unblocked even more people than I did last year. I had to block an anti vaxxer who continually attacked me even when I kindly asked her to stop. Told her that we will agree to disagree…she would not stop. I blocked her and then found that she was still sneaking into my stories. She said she’s on a crusade…I’m sorry…what?
I believe Covid is real. I believe people are dying and they didn’t have to. I believe that vaccines help…and I don’t believe there is a government conspiracy. It is a medical situation. If you don’t agree …that’s perfectly fine…but when you come after me and my friends and call us fools because we actually did research…we are done. Stick a fork in me done.
By your attitude and disgusting display of stating Bible verses in ways they were never meant to be interpreted you have now crossed into a whole new level. Your testimony completely obliterated and any good that you have done completely overturned. I watched those of you who applauded the way I was treated…and I’m sad for you. Sad that you feel that this is Christ honoring behavior.
You are free Americans…you are entitled to your own opinion…but so am I. When you bring God into it…on a negative light…now you’ve made me mad twice. As Christ followers we are to be a light to the world. I know many who are uncomfortable with the shot. They wear masks and keep me safe by doing so. They don’t come around my family or my church family when they feel ill. They have never made me feel stupid or unwise for my decision. They have never quoted Bible verses to me in order to make themselves feel better.
As a Christ follower, if your mission is to preach hate against those who make medical decisions for themselves and the good of their fellow man…then where are you getting your instruction manual from? That’s not of God.
My pastor has taught our congregation that whatever we believe on the subject is ours to believe..but hate is not what we should ever do to each other. This, is where I want to be…
I wish I had all the answers. I wish I was a scientist that could explain everything better…I wish I was a theologian who could express it more clearly….I just know that I am me…and I’m tired of ugly attitudes
I pray that those of you with hate in your heart…can learn this one word….
