Some of the recent Christofascist propaganda my Trumper extended family is posting on FB.
Worldwide Deaths Jan 1 - April 1 2020
CV 19 46,438 Seasonal Flu 121,993 Malaria 246,121 Suicide 269,076 Traffic Fatalities 338,715 HIV 421,808 Alcohol - 627,571 Smoking - 1,254,352 Cancer - 2,050,730 Hunger 2.806,314 Abortion 10,665,130 Numbers from Lifeline Children's Services. The only number they care about is the last one and it is probably made up. The cousins swallow this whole without a thought.

1. Unless god came down from heaven
There is no way anyone could know what the abortion number is.
Does it include miscarriages? I guess you could label them “god’s little spiteful abortions.” I have some in-laws that are this bad. My son-in-law, who votes Dem or he would be permanently on the couch and never get to sleep next to my daughter, has a crazy mother. She may not realize that we can see her comments on other people’s Twitter, where she recently liked a picture of Obama with the caption “His plan was to destroy America and make you convert to Islam, but our Christian God sent Donald Trump to save America.” Even if I were an evangelical, I would be afraid that crossed the line to blasphemy. |

2. Considering that 40%-60% of conceptions end in miscarriage (depending on who's counting how)
and they never shed a tear, gosh, it's almost like "babies" aren't the point.

9. Right. The point is
control of the woman’s body, as dictated by the Bible.
As someone once said, if men got pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. |

3. First one I looked up was HIV cause I figured it was bullshit ...
The WHO say an ESTIMATED 770K people died of HIV-related illness in 2018 worldwide, and the numbers are falling not going up.
EXTREMELY unlikely that 400K+ died of it in 3 months this year. Also, no reputable outfit would put out a number with 'HIV' as the cause of death. HIV isn't what kills people. It's other diseases that attack you when you're infected. |

10. And HIV totals could be zero
If we had reasonable healthcare in the entire world.
I know that would wreck everyone’s 401(k), but it would very easy if you removed the profit from insurance and pharmaceutical companies. |

4. Even if the numbers were correct
and the Corona numbers are obviously old and compared to yearly numbers which is dishonest, they are missing the crucial point. We actively try to combat every one of those items on that list. We don't just look away or say "Freedom!" and let it run its course. We strive to make cars safer, we take precautions to prevent contracting diseases, we try to find cures or identify behavior that might lead to certain diseases. We don't go the intellectually and morally bankrupt way and say why bother because of other things that cost lives in our views.
If they don't want to follow guidelines regarding Covid, ask them why they don't get drunk, get in a car and drive in the wrong lane without seatbelts. |

5. Considering how stale that COVID-19 number is, I don't have much faith in the other #'s.

6. Abortions don't count as deaths.
It’s birth and population control.
That’s what I would tell them, but I don’t do FB. Suckerberg is a vile man. |

11. I had a lesson from a priest
In Catholic School about 5th grade who said that each act of masturbation killed millions of potential Catholics, so god considered it murder.
I guess wet dreams were just involuntary manslaughter. |

7. Another clue it is complete bogus made-up junk: Number are precise down to single digits
Further, categories are confounded: Smoking, alcohol, and cancer. Total bullshit. |
