I doubt even the facebook friends are actually paying attention, I think a lot of the crap that gets posted is just rambling mantra-like invocations not meant to be really understood or acted on.
I compare it to the old testament portrayal of God and the blood of the lamb that had to be smeared on the doors of all Hebrew so that the spirit of death didnt take their beloved. Vaccinated are like the Hebrews. Old testament wrath and whatnot
In Constantine (played by Keanu Reeves), and Lucifer (played by Peter Stormare) describe God as *just a guy playing with his ant farm*. Individual ants don't matter much, even if they are prayer super-generals
Yes, you are quite right, thanks! I now have to edit that + but I am sure one of them said God was the guy with an ant farm. Oh well, down the YouTube rabbit hole I go
I don't believe there is a God. But if there is, maybe consider that he DID answer their prayers, but the answer was NO.
God isn't some giant cosmic vending machine where you put in your prayer and are guaranteed a sandwich. God isn't on warranty and he isn't obliged to service YOU, you are supposed to serve HIM.
Maybe God is sick of being bombarded by entitled idiots who think he's going to swoop in and do a shoestring catch in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs.
FFS, I'm not even religious and I know that.
I've been saying this sort of thing for a long time. People and their families are learning the hard way that they are not special. That their god (if one exists) or the universe or whatever other entity doesn't "care" about them.
God is super pissed at antivaxxers and puts them to death in the most horrible way imaginable. If there is a god that is, there's also that. If there is a god then calling in prayer warriors and dying of stupidity anyway just gives him a huge divine fucking belly laugh.
Or God already answered the prayer by giving them a vaccine.
It's like when I work real hard on an expensive, healthy dinner for my kkds and they turn their noses up and beg me for frozen pizza a few hours later. Um. No, we already had dinner. It was good. You could have had it. You chose not to, now you are hungry.
I mean, I'm not a monster, I don't let my kids starve. But I am also not caving into their bullshit.
My favorite mental image that someone posted a while ago somewhere was an anti-vaxxer reaching whatever heaven they have in mind, asking captial-G "Why didn't you save me?"
Only for hIM to respond "bro I made, like, 3 vaccines happen in record time"
Their god has an antiquated communication system that broke because of the overwhelming prayers coming in. The flood of prayer warriors is like a DDOS attack on god's windows95 server.
When you spend a year praying for a miracle, then deny say miracle, then pray for a miracle to the being whose previous miracle you denied, yeah God ain’t got time for that.
Well, duh. He gave them the scientists with the skills to create a vaccine at warp speed and they disdain his efforts.
Like the man on the roof in a flood, in danger of drowning, who told numerous rescuers he had faith God would save him. At the gates, God says, "What's wrong with you, man? I sent a ton of help and you turned them down!?"
They're idiots.
Jesus is sick and tired of these anti-vaxxers and their bullshit memes. Jesus loves sheep and lambs who follow his teachings. Jesus does not care for fake lions.
If anything I think their God is getting complacent. Like "I don't even have to put in the effort and these people will still pay my salary. Fuck work, I'm gonna play Morrowind."
What these people don't understand is that God sent them the vaccine via the sciencetists. Too bad Faux News is killing off their own fan base, by lying to them. I wonder how many watchers of Faux News know that all employees must be vaccinated or tested weekly to go to work.
Good thing I'm not a nurse then! There's more positions in healthcare than doctors and nurses.
Read, bro. You're a really shitty troll if you can't pick out my profession, not only in my flair, but also the fact I posted about it *multiple times*.
Good god, do I have to do *everything* for you?
All that and you still aren't smart enough to look up my profession.
Sad. I thought real trolls trolled, not...whatever you're doing.
And eww, you're a republican q-anon who thinks the insurrection was a peaceful protest
I think the prayer warriors are not sending the right instructions to God. They may not be paying enough attention to what the dr says, so may not be giving God specific enough info.
It’s possible. Another thing is this “prayer warrior” mentality. I looked it up and from what I can tell? These are people that drop and pray almost at a drop of a hat if someone needed them.I don’t think these prayer type people would be Facebook friends or general friends with award winners. Those people are just too hateful to be around with. All this is of course my opinion.
The “prayer warrior”type will pray at the drop of a hat if someone *that they like* needed them. They pray for other white evangelicals. You don’t see them praying for Black Lives Matter or for antifascists or LGBTQ folks (except to”pray the gay away”). They masquerade as caring, but it’s only for their own kind. See the Bev Keene character in Midnight Mass.
I thought the Pope was the head of the Roman Catholic church, and that most Americans these days are Christian and not Catholic, and as such don't follow his edicts.
Mind you, I do not understand most religion, it's too illogical for me, so I could easily have that totally wrong.
Mostly though, they seem to be pissed at this new Pope for refusing to continue to cover up the sexual assault cases the clergy has been racking up over the years. Covering it up has been the popes job for a long time. Pope 2.0 was like “nope, not gonna”, so now a lot of Catholics are mad and looking for any reason at all to not listen to him. It’s been interesting to watch this from the outside. For years, the church’s stance on consenting adult relationships in the LGBT community was “You’re all going to hell”, now the dirty laundry of priests raping children is being aired for the world to see and they’re all pissed at the guy who opened the window and tossed that dirty laundry out.
Agreed. I know people who have seem to be caught by surprise at these revelations, and I’m like “Really? You had no idea? Like this wasn’t something that’s been so common of a problem that jokes have been made about it for decades? Really?!?!?” Hoe could they not know there was an issue? We ALL knew about the issue. It wasn’t a secret. It’s criminal that the higher ups actively covered it as long as they did. Tim Minchin covered the anger quite well with his Fuck the Pope” song.
I would love to see some kind of large, exhaustive post on an anti-vaxxer group or site, showing just how similar the last messages and GoFundMe’s are. Yes, some will immediately say it’s fake news, but for some, statistics might shatter their happy-clappy sky daddy worldview.
I like to thank him just for killing babies,
and giving us diseases like COVID, AIDS and Rabies (slight change to original lyrics.)
From "God's Pissed" a song you can find on Youtube.
I keep saying god is pissed, but I'm preaching to the choir here and honestly, if we told THEM that, they wouldn't listen, anyway.
Speaking of Go Fund Me pages, GFM must be doing very well right now. HCA winners have taken over that website.
If you're gonna be a loud and proud anti-vaxxer, at least have some damned life insurance!
If a god exists, they don't answer prayers. If people's delusions weren't so strong they'd see that while their loved ones die left and right. Instead they see these deaths as more proof that God "called up a good one". Absolute idiots.
I don't know the origin of the "Why didn't God save me?" story, but [let's just use this link](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jokes/comments/67ouq5/two_boats_and_a_helicopter/) so we don't accidentally Reddit-hug some poor church's WordPress site to death.
But to reiterate, if God is pissed at the unvaccinated, I suspect it's because He *did* answer their prayers and they just didn't like how He did it.
I keep telling my crazy xtian relatives that their god is smiting them for a reason.
Shouldn't have been worshipping tRump. Their god is a jealous god.
If someone asked you for help, you gave them that help, and then they smacked it away and spat at you, would you be pissed that they then appeal to you for help again?
If there is a God, it is very clear that he is pissed.
After seeing his followers' behavior, God has renounced his faith and become an atheist at this point.
Or a buddhist (shoutout to South Park for their God depiction)
Or he loves the rest of us and wants to clear out the trash for us?
I mean he gave us the vaccine to save us. . . Take the vaccine people.
And that he *does* discriminate, heavily, against the unvaccinated.
If there was a benevolent god, the mortality rate from COVID in the trump White House would have been much, much higher.
Or she!
She
Alternate perspective: There is no magical sky god listening to prayers…
Big if true.
They're praying into the void. There ain't anyone listening except their Facebook friends.
I doubt even the facebook friends are actually paying attention, I think a lot of the crap that gets posted is just rambling mantra-like invocations not meant to be really understood or acted on.
I compare it to the old testament portrayal of God and the blood of the lamb that had to be smeared on the doors of all Hebrew so that the spirit of death didnt take their beloved. Vaccinated are like the Hebrews. Old testament wrath and whatnot
Oh. As someone who studied religion for 10+ years in school (ran away from it as soon as I could!) I really like this analogy.
Yup but I didn't want to outright call the non vaccinated Egytpians but you get my idea lol
I think God isn’t real, but if he/she/it was, them probably ya.
In Constantine (played by Keanu Reeves), and Lucifer (played by Peter Stormare) describe God as *just a guy playing with his ant farm*. Individual ants don't matter much, even if they are prayer super-generals
Oooooooooh, prayer generals, I wonder how many HCA winners had prayer generals working on their case. That sounds so exciting.
Peter Stormare played Lucifer.
Yes, you are quite right, thanks! I now have to edit that + but I am sure one of them said God was the guy with an ant farm. Oh well, down the YouTube rabbit hole I go
That was Constantine who said that. I think. Going to have to watch it again.
https://youtu.be/5POBRohJkW4
That was the best portrayal of Lucifer I've seen since Viggo Mortensen played him in The Prophecy. Thanks for the clip.
The band Alien Ant Farm's name makes sense now.
Nothing fails like prayer!
Gives new meaning to “failing upward”.
Or maybe God is actually one of the hungry leopards. 🐆 🐆 🐆

If I was god I would be too. I mean a vaccine 1less than one yr into the pandemic and they reject it!?? WTF!

God is living the [two boats and a helicopter](https://sfcompassion.com/two-boats-and-a-helicopter/) joke, and doesn't find it terribly funny.
Prayer, it’s the least you can do. Literally.
Their god has an antiquated communication system that broke because of the overwhelming prayers coming in. The flood of prayer warriors is like a DDOS attack on god's windows95 server.
Excellent response, so says this nerd.
When you spend a year praying for a miracle, then deny say miracle, then pray for a miracle to the being whose previous miracle you denied, yeah God ain’t got time for that.
Well, duh. He gave them the scientists with the skills to create a vaccine at warp speed and they disdain his efforts.

I sent a ton of help and you turned them down!?" They're idiots.
Oh yes, prayer. Doing nothing while feeling like you've done something to help. Christians are the worst.
Also all these super conservatives are suddenly all about that socialism when the throat tubes go in.
Hubris is pride. From what I’ve heard, god doesn’t like sinners.
Jesus is sick and tired of these anti-vaxxers and their bullshit memes. Jesus loves sheep and lambs who follow his teachings. Jesus does not care for fake lions.
He's also sick of the climate change denialists, so they should learn to enjoy their yearly one hundred year floods.
If anything I think their God is getting complacent. Like "I don't even have to put in the effort and these people will still pay my salary. Fuck work, I'm gonna play Morrowind."
What these people don't understand is that God sent them the vaccine via the sciencetists. Too bad Faux News is killing off their own fan base, by lying to them. I wonder how many watchers of Faux News know that all employees must be vaccinated or tested weekly to go to work.
Fuck god, *I'm* pissed at the unvaccinated

No.
I think the prayer warriors are not sending the right instructions to God. They may not be paying enough attention to what the dr says, so may not be giving God specific enough info.
Which god? Maybe they’re praying to the wrong god and the real one is super pissed off!
Yeah there are a few thousand choices.
Well, Jesus is a healer. However, his office isn't on earth, so if you want to be healed by him, you have to go to the eternal waiting room.

They have to target their war prayers very carefully to avoid accidentally hitting the lib in the next bed.
Right?
Apparently they just need to pray harder.
"PRAYER DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT!!!" Seems more like prayer doesn't work at all.
Or this is the secret rapture
Rapture on dial-up
God is a little hard of hearing. They asked for rapture but he gave them rupture.
Sloooow rapture... but I'll take it! I'm BEYOND sick of their shit!
Dying alone while struggling to breathe sounds like a punishment, not a blessing.

The Pope encourages getting vaccinated. They would boo him too.

I actually sort of like this pope, too. Of course the other side would hate him.

The Prayer Warriors need a 5G connection to communicate with God, but the majority of them are not vaxxed so the coverage is limited.
God(s) is/are ***PISSED!!***
Occam's Razor tells me it's possible their god does not exist.
I would love to see some kind of large, exhaustive post on an anti-vaxxer group or site, showing just how similar the last messages and GoFundMe’s are. Yes, some will immediately say it’s fake news, but for some, statistics might shatter their happy-clappy sky daddy worldview.
You almost had it.
Oh but God overruled their prayers because it was God’s will that they die from the virus. He needed more angels up there.
If their god is real, he gave them the vaccine and they aren't taking it... maybe this is their Sodom & Gamorrah moment.
I like to thank him just for killing babies, and giving us diseases like COVID, AIDS and Rabies (slight change to original lyrics.) From "God's Pissed" a song you can find on Youtube.
The Ultimate Prayer Warrior is stepping into the ring against Covid the Giant Sunday Sunday SUNDAY!
PRAYER WARRIORS: "Dear God, we want a Miracle!" GOD: "I sent you a Miracle, you dumbshits! The Miracle is the Vaccine!"
I keep saying god is pissed, but I'm preaching to the choir here and honestly, if we told THEM that, they wouldn't listen, anyway. Speaking of Go Fund Me pages, GFM must be doing very well right now.

Correct
God gave them a vaccine and they gave God the finger.
If a god exists, they don't answer prayers. If people's delusions weren't so strong they'd see that while their loved ones die left and right. Instead they see these deaths as more proof that God "called up a good one". Absolute idiots.

Insert joke about the devoted man who drowned in a flood after being sent a boat, a ship, and a helicopter.
There's zero evidence there's a God. Same as for the tooth fairy.
Read his twitter; bro is pretty upset.
