Roman's 13:
1Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

Matthew 4:7
7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.

Jumping off the top of a temple is not an ordinary act. It is an extraordinary act.

Going to Sunday church service is very much an ordinary act.

You can't compare the two.

He allowed the governors to make the call. Why does that bother you? Is he closer to the action? And I would guess you would prefer him to not make any decisions. So why the complaint?

It doesn't bother me at all. He doesn't have the authority to let the governors make the call. I don't see that he is making any decisions, but if he has made some, fill me in.

I prefer him doing nothing, but that doesn't stop him from pretending like he's doing something.

No, because that is their right. What's he gonna do about it?

If we figured out a way to test everybody and truly knew theNumber that were infected, I’d bet the current economic paralysis would look like child’s play.

GA, sit down and think about this for a moment. How many people in a country of 330 million do you think should have been tested in the last 30 days?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

A decision to have the economy re-open is dependent on this information. And in fact if we re-open soon, as Trump wants, its not going to be that strong until people have confidence that they can get on planes, go to restaurants, etc. Best way to get that confidence is testing, or at least randomized as suggested above. Enough so that we can give people a sense that they can be reasonably assured that odds of contracting the virus are low, and getting lower.

I'll ask you the same question I asked GAVol. In a country of 330 million people, how many people, in your opinion, should have been tested in the last 30 days?

Like most celebrated Christian Holidays, the time frame for Easter was originally chosen to coincide with Ostara, the Spring Equinox celebrated by Pagan religions. The Spring Equinox is historically celebrated as the rebirth of Mother Earth by the goddess Eostra from the death of winter and is still celebrated by neopagans and Wiccans.

Wrong thread.

 

[volfanhill]

No, because that is their right. What's he gonna do about it?

That’s my point. It’s there call so what again are you complaining about? He can only make recommendations. And it’s questionable that the governors can do this.

His answer will be 330 million

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Oh, and he wants Barr to protect peoples religious rights on Sunday... whatever.. he doesn't give a crap about it.. but he figures it will play well in Nov.

Meh, what difference does it make if that is his motivation. Its the right thing to do regardless.

 

[volfanhill]

And for those of you yelling the WHO testing was better you are right. But I would trust the CDC over the WHO 9 times out of 10. Bit us in the ass on this one. But you can’t honestly believe Obama would have deferred to the WHO over the CDC.

 

[Stew Cook]

That’s my point. It’s there call so what again are you complaining about? He can only make recommendations. And it’s questionable that the governors can do this.

Where was I complaining? Seems like you are disappointed that he is actually not doing anything.

But, OK..... Yeah Trump!!, keep up the good work, and stay out of the way.

He's just playing the cheerleader, knowing that he can just paint a rosy scenario, and never have to dirty his hands. If he thought for a minute declaring martial law would help his daily briefing ratings, he'd go for it.

Which governor is going to get onboard with his "get back to business" plan? Florida?.. nahh, I don't think so, but Desantis feels safe playing along with the church thing. Maybe Montana or one of the Dakotas...?

So you’d rather have a president that talks about gloom and doom , involves the feds even more and is fine with your constitutional rights being obliterated because there’s a crisis ?

 

[Stew Cook]

If religious liberty had ever really been a thing, I'd say it was worth the effort. But yeah, whatever.

Did I say any of that? He just doesn't get much credit from me for doing the cheerleader thing when everyone else is playing full contact smash mouth football.

Quite the opposite. Very happy he didn’t do anything. Not his job.

What part are you not getting about his role in all this and his limits ? He is the Federal government . We don’t want him playing in the game , we want him being a cheerleader . When he ( the feds ) get involved , the game will change . I swear , the lack of understand of this simple concept baffles me with some of you .

Thanks for making my point.. Now maybe he can be photographed wearing a mask or doing something otherwise useful.

Smh ... If I grabbed your head and shook it , could we hear the rocks rolling around ?

You sure got all hot on him going out of his way to protect the Constitution for a minute, I'm just glad you settled on him being a cheerleader.

It was your idea all along

Wtf.. drama free ?

No drama Obama

Wrong thread.

The response was specific and directly addressed a statement made in this thread.

If there is no issue in this thread with that originally posted statement then there should be no issue with the clarification response it received.

Interesting. I thought religious liberty was a thing. I mean, its only mentioned in the very first amendment...

Relax. I was being facetious. Just cutting up...

 

[Stew Cook]

It isn't, because it doesn't really exist. Laws supersede religious freedom. So, it's limited, at best.
