I'm not remotely religious. But any time I see posts saying to people not to pray etc, I just don't get it. Just because it's not your belief, doesn't mean others can't have that faith and if it helps them get through a difficult situation, then that's a good thing imo. And just because people are praying, it doesn't mean they're not doing other things to help. It just seems unnecessary to criticise.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well whoever is talking to their God maybe they should ask why he’s given us this deadly new virus. He must REALLY love us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you expect this world to be like heaven, with only good things happening?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe he could send another flood and kill everyone on the planet again? At least it would be quicker than this slow misery.

Good post by the way Vidic There are lots of opportunities and a lot of time at the moment to develop ourselves through exercise, language learning or studying.

I'm very much agnostic, but I'd say this virus is one of the better arguments for the existence of God that I've seen. Considering how a few months of corona has done more to save the environment than decades of human intervention.

Being a vindictive anti-faither isn't nice at all. It's very easy to just let people practice their faith in their own, harm-free way.

Kids are going tiktok or some such thing where they are miming stuff and posting videos.

Its braindead stuff.

At least the OP is aiming for perhaps some self improvement by having a read.

however those who can't help themselves form having a go at people who might want to pray is just total intolerance.

Download the Duolingo app and learn another language for free.

In six weeks of self-isolation, you could be able to hold a basic conversation with somebody.

That’s a great idea. Will you be using it to learn Portuguese?

I'm working every day. Getting fed up of hearing about the Coronavirus. Only break is a walk with the dog and an hour or two of rubbish TV. I miss football!

I went to my church's online service through Zoom this morning, it was great.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Same here brother, the tech works surprisingly well! Still not quite the same as the real thing though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On the bright side you don’t have to go anywhere to be bored to death...

I'm not religious myself, in fact far from it being athiest but there's no need to be so condescending to others and how they deal with it!

The Evangelicais in America are already blaming this virus on the gaays and adulterers, and the mega churches are telling people they must still send money even if they lose their jobs.

Religion.

Yes, but I'm not sure I've seen anyone in this thread doing any harm with their faith.
