Ok, now for my rage thread. I wish I would have had the opportunity to write this directly after hearing the COVID presser because I had far more naturally occurring rage, but here it goes.

So I know many of you read my thread about religion from a few weeks ago and what came
to light today just continues to feed my hate for religion.

So my wife and I sat down and were watching the presser prior to me going to grab dinner and drop my daughter off, and within the first few minutes Dr. Hinshaw mentions that there was a group of 15 individuals infected
with COVID in the last few days, and that the 15 were part of a group of 150 people. She continued on to say that it was a gathering of pentacostles. In addition to these infected people, there was an article that came out 2 days ago saying that 17 people of an evangelical
group were infected after a prayer event. It didn't just infect Albertans, there are also some that were infected from BC. The commonality, they're both religious groups, and they're CLEARLY both dumb as fuck.

Ok so lets look at the situation we find ourselves in. We have an
evangelical based group of yahoos that make up our government and they believe in a God. Believe in a God as you may, but explain to me this. Would a true God who "loves all of his children" promote targetting and attacking members of the LGBTQ community? (removal of GSA's)
They're still his children, right? Or how about, would God encourage his children to punish other children because of addictions? (Safe injection sites) Or how about continue to damage the earth in the name of money? (Coal stripping) I'm sure God would be on board for causing
unbearable anxiety for parents, educators and kids as they deal with a pandemic, responsible for killing thousands, as they can't be bothered making a workplace safe in the name of........money? Ok, so lets take a break from the government angle.

Why is it that these window
licking, crayon chewing, leprechaun chasing religious nuts think, despite all recommendations from people CLEARLY smarter than them, that gathering in large crowds during a clearly dangerous and contagious pandemic is a good idea? I have a bet that they LIKELY didn't practice
social distancing and didn't wear masks.

The leader of the evangelical group said something along the lines of "God would protect them". I don't know what kind of mouthbreathing, inbred, brain dead individuals believe this shit, but you're a serious disgrace to human kind.
I can only imagine what the impression would be of, for arguments sake, an alien life form coming to earth and observing our religious idiots.

Alien - " What are you guys doing?"

RN - "Praying to GOD, duh"

Alien - "What's a God?"

RN -" Uhhhh, our lord and saviour?!? *sweating
profusely*"

Alien - "Well where is he? Why do you pray to him?"

RN - " He's *points to the sky*. We pray to him because he wrote this book *lifts Bible*"

Alien - "And he's reputable? He's got integrity? What he's written is true?"

RN - "Of course it is!"

Alien" - How do you
know?"

RN - *deafening silence* followed by a low rrrrrrrrrrrr

Ok, so all joking aside, what the fuck makes him think God will protect them? If they're like so many others and they watch the American news, they'd realize that other preachers of faith has died due to COVID.
Would God create a virus that kills off his children? Or are we going to dive down the Conservative hole, and blame it on somebody else?

So if a faith believer survives a brush with COVID, God saved them. If they succumb to it, it was "their time". So the fact that "their time"
conveniently aligns with a deadly virus pandemic passing through the world.....................bah simple coincidence! Right?

Can anyone explain to me why religious groups are too fucking stupid to follow the advice of professionals? Why can't they pray at home? Does anyone
want to wager that these morons DIDN'T distance or use masks? Is there a reason that people who want to unicorn chase prioritize their "rights" above everybody who lives in the real world?

I am spitting mad that while we have regular citizens trying to come up with ways to
combat a destructive government, while advocating for humane treatment for doctors, teachers, students, LGBTQ, the environment, seniors, the indigenous communities we have these fairy tale fuckups running around haphazardly SPREADING THE FUCKING VIRUS!

How ironic is this, the
people who so cavalierly are trying to "get the economy up and running" and "want their rights to not be "obstructed" " are the same folks that keep spreading this shit. The dumbest mother fuckers occupying this earth.

"Ok guys, you guys gotta get the economy up, but fuck
wearing masks, fuck social distancing annndddddd I'm going to find Bigfoot and the Ogopogo!" 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Can someone answer another question for me, how many female leaders of faith are there? This is more a question fueled by curiosity.

So to recap: We have a minister who is
pro-life and anti-abortionist, even if the child gets brought into a terrible situation where the parents can't provide for them and don't worry, the government won't help those folks. Children are apparently born to become 6 year old painters and work for peanuts until they
finally die. That's on the presumption that they can even get educated and make it to their 6th birthday without dying by COVID. We have our premiers speechwriter who calls residential schools a "bogus genocide story". Last I checked, the residential schools existed. That's not
bogus OR a story. We have a premier who thinks keeping gay lovers apart while one of them is dying is funny. We have a minister who thinks that when he's criticized it's because he's black. We have a
mysoginistic nobody who scraped through in his riding and is illiterate and can't even cut it as the backup to the backup speaker, and on and on it goes. The above listed people are all working OFF AN EVANGELICAL foundation.

Yeah God is good, right? Could you imagine if God was
bad? I thought that was Satans job..........

So I'd like to go and thank those two stupid fucking groups who decided to contribute to our climb in cases based on their entitled, delusional beliefs that they're untouchable because of God. You continue to up the angst in
Albertans and continue to depress the economy all because you had to get together and prioritize praying and chasing mythical creatures over the interests of the health and welfare of other Albertans.

God works in mysterious ways, right? What a pile of steaming shit. You will
all wear this. Shame on you.

It's clear we REALLY want to return to a new type of "normal"..........

Sincerely,

The pissed off Insider
