    No. And that says a lot about their interpretation.

    • This entire thread is now moot.

      It seems 3M will continue to ship masks to Canada after all.

      Now we just have to wait and see what simp will use next to attack Christians.

        No big surprise since they are a multinational conglomerate company which produces a lot of their face masks in other places like China.

          If only we'd waited until it was resolved before simp started trolling. I guess then it wouldn't have been fun for him.

            Why is it trolling?

            I did ask a question, of Christians, whether we should allow 3M to ship masks to Canada. That was a timely topic, and many made the argument that we should not, that Canadian citizens were not "our own".

            Shipments of masks to Canada and Germany were turned around while in transit.

            You yourself claimed that the shortages were due (in part) to the shipment Trudeau consigned on 4 Feb, early on in the pandemic. International epidemic response is predicated on the idea of countries working to stop the epidemic in the hot spots early on, to prevent outbreaks happening elsewhere. Ebola is a classic example, as were other epidemics of the 21st century.

              Not moot at all. US health care workers are going without, and now we have sent a million masks to Israel.

              America first?

                But America is sharing! Like you are certain really GOOD Christians, especially Evangelicals, should be doing!

                What's your beef?

                    You are asking stupid questions in order to sow discord. That's what you are doing.

                    rogue can defend himself.

                    • Dear liberal socialists, 3M wasn't selling masks to foreigners out of altruism, but out of greed - lining their pockets instead of helping their fellow Americans. I would think you would use this as a stick to beat up capitalists with, instead of being on 3Ms side in the matter.

                      Opportunity missed.

                        Why would they do that when they can bash Christians instead!

                          What do Christians have to do with it? 3M isn't a Christian denomination or business.

                            I was being facetious in my answer to you.

                            Because this thread is really about bashing Christians. It's not really about 3M, it's about "should good Christians give to their neighbours or not?" You can tell, because it was started by simp and/or Charles.

                              Is it about bashing Christians, are about getting Christians to engage with the faith?
