      Have you had DEVS on the tele where you are?
      Sometimes
      The congregation takes the other side
      An inquisition of familiar lies
      A grave distraction from a quiet rite

      Sometimes
      The congregation can't make up its mind
      Incarceration creeps up from behind
      The implication is its own device
      In the middle of a salient fight

      Sometimes
      The congregation can't be satisfied
      Can't be bothered with the ways and whys
      Generations like their ways and times

        Probably when the pandemic comes to an end...


        ...and that does not appear to be likely anytime soon.
        The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

          It is so far gone with derails and nonsense, it deserves a swift death. Maybe we can infect it with COVID-19.

            How is THAT different from ANY Tweb thread?

                Most posts in the last couple of pages seem to be pretty on-topic.
                "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
                "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
                "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

                      My comment was not meant to address a specific source but the general ideological bent of your sources, but then that would be obvious if you actually quoted me rather that quote mining my post, leaving out the fact I mentioned Fox and breitbart as examples of the kind of sources that drive your thinking.
                      My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                      If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                      This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

All this is totally predictable. You will see it by the end of June.
                          As a historical reference, the second wave during the Spanish flu was more deadly than the first wave. Will history repeat itself?

                            My biggest concern is if we get another wave next Autumn, how much will the situation be exacerbated by it being flu season as well (which typically swamps hospitals on its own).

                              Indeed, anyone catching both viruses is in for a mighty rough time.

                                Golf courses opening here but only two players per game, no clubhouse facilities. I would tell you about Janey Godley, but she’s far too rude.
