    Default Is God just a justification to do anything?

    Can someone explain to me why the same people who don't need to wear a mask because God will look after them also need an AR-15 because God won't?

    Jarod, that's a very good point and a very good question.

    Making shit up again are we? Maybe you could explain why we need to be compelled to wear a mask to protect ourselves against an unseen enemy, but we are not allowed to have an AR-15 to protect ourselves against scumbags like you.

    Only if you can explain to me how a lawyer cannot recognize somebody exercising one of their enumerated rights.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    Look into it, the mask is not to protect yourself, it is to protect others in case you are infected and do not know it.
    I do not think any government is requiring anyone to wear it, only private companies around here.

    I can recognize it, but are you claiming rights are absolute? If so, you should study a little history.

    Who is making the claim that they don't need to wear a mask because God will look after them?

    Come on GayRod. You have been hiding out since the Flynn news and when you come back you start out with this kind of bullshit premise?

    First of all why does it bother you if others don't share your fear and decide to wear a mask? If you wear a mask and I don't and we stay 10 feet apart do you think you are still at risk of getting the chinese virus?

    So you are saying you wear a mask even though you know you don't have the chinese virus to protect others from the virus you don't have?

    So you are saying that these masks only work one way? Bugs can't get out but they can get in?

    Have you worn masks in the past to protect others from getting respiratory viruses you may have had? If not why not?

    Point out where anybody made such a claim. One thing that I know, and thank the universe for, rights are never based on how you personally judge "need".
