  1. This has more than the whiff of a kind of ‘test-event’ to see just how much we are prepared to accept in the name of ‘COVID security’. This thing clearly exists, but the overreaction here in Shanghai smells mighty sinister, notwithstanding the regime it’s occurring under. I imagine if open, relatively free liberal democracies attempted this kind of overkill there’d be resistance to the point of civil unrest.

  2.  @ayoolukoga9829  Yes? And? Your point is? Those things have been happening for the past 2,000 years. You quote it like it was written for today, when in fact, it can be applied to just about any year you care to mention from 0CE-2022CE. After all, those near contemporaries of Jesus thought he was coming back in their time, and when he didn’t you nutters had to spin it out for the text 2,000 years; as you will be doing for the next 2,000; and then the next. For Jesus never existed. His story is a stolen, rehashed, reheated tale of the dying/resurrecting god, brazenly filched from the pagans. The Christians are, quite simply, brazen-faced plagiarists. The fatal mistake the rigid monotheists have made since time immemorial is to foolishly read their respective texts as literal truth.

  3.  @ayoolukoga9829  You’re a poor deluded fool, but there are many of those and I reserve you the right to be this if you so choose. Any dispassionate reader of the Bible can see from the off that we are dealing with a primitive, barbaric text, depicting a primitive, barbaric God. As Richard Dawkins brilliantly stated: The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully. If you want to uphold that God, crack on. Just count me out.

  4.  @ayoolukoga9829  I just work on credible evidence, mate. And for the existence of God there is not a scintilla of credible evidence. Of course, when fools like you start quoting your barbaric text against another’s barbaric text, then the trouble starts, and often for those, such as I, who want none of it. Believe what you want you credulous twit; just keep it out of my business.
