The will of God
Another one of these “we’re safe because we’re on Team God” fools:
Asif Ashraf Jilali is failing to take into account that God could very well want people to do the right thing, pay attention to medical advice, have a care for other people, and the like. The Koran is full of a whole lot of instructions for how people are to act, right? So the God in question seems to pay attention to what people do, and to judge them for it. Isn’t it blasphemous to think God wants people to be so stubborn and reckless that they insist on gathering in crowds to talk about God instead of being sensible?
I wouldn’t go giving people ideas like that. Such dramatic statements tend to stick in the memory. And with all the restrictions on intenational travel, you’re not gonna be able to go far to run and hide when the Pakistani government comes looking for your ass. Or your neck.
Can we just round up all the eejits who think their god is going to protect them (or who think they are Sooper Genyusses) and keep them away from pulpits, microphones, smartphones and computers for the duration? Believe what you want, but don’t spread your pig-headed stupidity and ignorance to others. Verbal self-isolation and social-media distancing, please.
