Germs and Jesus

I was mildly amused at all the folks wearing masks in St Peter's square this morning. Obviously these Christians aren't sold on Jesus's contention that only what comes out of your mouth can defile you, not anything that goes in. He thought hand-washing unnecessary, too. I'm betting that these verses won't be taught much in Sunday school. At least until the Coronavirus outbreak passes.

What, don't they trust their God Trump to keep them safe? What their God will let them get sick?

A friend of my son's is now quarantined in China and is now stuck. Unless you are planning on an extended stay, stay out of China.

for this virus. Having people at St. Peter's wearing masks destroys their folly.

That only means it's the fault of the gays once again.

Why is it never the Evil-gelicals? They're more destructive than anyone.
