Her god is a dick.

[kpete]

Mindy Greene from Provo, UT read articles on Facebook and prayed whether she should have her family vaccinated. God said no. Her husband is now fighting for his life in the ICU for over a month. She says she now realizes the “studies” she read were bogus and the “experts,”frauds.

1. Maybe that excuse makes her feel better.

Good luck living with the guilt of that epic stupid idea.

[FSogol]

2. She must has skipped 2 Kings 2:23-25 where God sends 2 bears to kill a group of children that

made fun of Elijah's bald spot.

23 Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!” 24 When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number. 25 And he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.

Good times. Guess God is having a big laugh right now about Mindy Greene and family!

4. thoughts and prayers

I'm wearing out my "thoughts and prayers" button

[panader0]

5. I thought this was going to be about Bim-Boebert.

She married the guy who got busted for exposing himself to her.

[hedda_foil]

6. Toward the end of the report, she is seen sitting at her husband's bedside, mask beneath her nose.

That's not God you're hearing, lady.

[yardwork]

7. I noticed that. Still clueless?

[RussBLib]

35. your god is a real trickster lady

BTW, Allah, Vishnu, Jesus, and all the others are similarly fictitious and unreliable.

[Mosby]

8. Best twitter reply

Even now she thinks religion will save him. Not once did she mention the research, medical staff and facility that are the ONLY things keeping him alive.

[Wounded Bear]

9. I talk to god all the time...

[Earth-shine]

22. Talking to God is not really a problem.

A lot of people do that, for example, prayer.

The problem is when people think God talks to them.

[Escurumbele]

24. The problem is both ways, if you think you are talking to someone and no one is talking back

are you really talking to someone?

This is a psychological thing about praying and thinking that someone is listening. No matter who it is, when you talk to someone you usually get feedback. Sure, they may think they are talking to someone, but can someone prove there is someone out there listening? It is all a fantasy based on blind faith.

"When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around / Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?"

[Earth-shine]

33. I'm not a prayer, but one thing I know that some of them do ...

It's like a message in a bottle. They'll say, "I'm putting it out there to the universe. Let's see what happens."

So, for some, it is a one-way thing.

I'm a devout atheist. But, I've been wrong on so many things.

Who am I to suggest that prayers are empty? Maybe in someone else's universe, it does good.

Maybe praying makes people feel good. Maybe that's good enough.

I know so little -- but I am sure there's no place for a deity in my life.

[Blue_true]

36. You make some excellent points.

I am a Deist, but I have no opinion on people’s religion or lack of. If people need to believe in something, I am ok with them doing so as long as they don’t step on my rights.

[newdayneeded]

41. As an Athiest

I've come to realize, they are praying to no one. But I think its a powerful thing to put your prayer or ask out there. I think it eases the mind that the prayer or question is at least asked. I myself ask for help from nature, a quiet lake or stand of trees. To me these are right in front of me. I know I'm asking no one for help, but my mind somehow thinks it is.

[Earth-shine]

43. What you describe is meditation of a sort. Prayer, for some, is highly meditative.

>> it eases the mind that the prayer or question is at least asked.

It helps to align one's thoughts.

There are other forms of prayer.

Religious Jews, for example, open a prayer book five times a day and just read designated sections out loud, but in quiet tones.

As long as people are good, I don't care what they believe.

I had an orthodox girlfriend once. It was a great relationship.

[hunter]

37. The God who talks to me is fierce and just.

But all things considered I'd rather been spared one or two accidents of genetics and birth, head injuries, and certain psych meds.

A loving omnipotent god couldn't have managed better than that? Something more than Her occasional get out of jail free card?

Nevertheless, I'll never understand those who pray to and follow the orders of asshole gods.

Gods who preach hate are bad gods.

[Earth-shine]

39. How about those who "thank God" for all the good stuff and never blame God for the bad?

Still, I have met some wonderful, truly decent, top-notch people, who are believers. It's not for me to take it from them.

When people preach love, I don't question the source. I say, "Hi friend."

[NQAS]

10. I used to respond to these kinds of deathbed conversions. . .

with the prefacing statement. . . I wish I could say I was sorry. . .

Not so much now. Now? Tough. Not sorry. You made your bed.

What's unfortunate is that affluent people - in this case almost all white - can withstand the financial impact of the death of a parent. Life insurance, surviving parent in a well paying job, family financial support, etc.

But what about those less fortunate? The "rubes." The low end of the financial spectrum. The ones who need two incomes to survive. They are being devastated by following the idiocy of their fellow RW travelers. There was a piece in the WP today about one such (now) single mother with young kids.

Maybe the deathbed conversions or the posthumous encouragement by survivors to get vaccines is a good thing, and so the publicizing of these situations may be good.

But, you know, a part of me just doesn't want to hear it.

[PJMcK]

20. I try to be an empathetic man

But with these clowns, I don't have any fucks left to give.

It's remarkable to me that the deniers are now the ones getting creamed by Covid. It makes me believe in karma or god or something.

[NCjack]

11. Mindy is implying that God lied to her.

[TheBlackAdder]

12. If God said no, it doesn't matter if reports were bogus and experts frauds. God said NO.

[RockRaven]

13. The same people who yap about "personal responsibility" hide behind "god told me" to explain

their hateful or dumbassed decisions. YOU decided to be dangerously negligent, not god. That's not god talking to you, those are your own thoughts. Own up to it without the dodge.

You can tell a lot about what someone thinks, feels, or wants by what they say God says/wants. Shockingly ( ), there is almost always a 1:1 correlation!

[Johnny2X2X]

15. Exactly my take

They use god to absolve themselves of taking responsibility for their actions and choices. God had zero to do with it, it was all them, they chose to follow Trump and it killed them, they didn't care one bit about the suffering in death until it was affecting them.

The only thing I say is send this guy home, he doesn't deserve to take care away from those who got vaccinated. Let them bring him home and pray on it.

[scarletlib]

14. I guess God was wrong.

[KG]

16. did I miss the part where the family went & got vaxxed?

[StarryNite]

17. Her god must be quite the prankster.

He probably pulls chairs out from under people when they go to sit down too.

[appalachiablue]

18. God made me do it, so you're forgiven, Mindy?

Rubbish

[Tommymac]

19. Sorry, not sorry. And she is still ignoring reality and depending on her god awful god.

[Earth-shine]

21. Truly a case of taking God's name in vain, which is officially a sin.

She admits she gets her info from Facebook.

Then she says God told her not to vaccinate.

But, now, she defies her God and says vaccines are good.

I don't have these problems. I'm an atheist.

[sinkingfeeling]

23. Apparently, so's her god.

[Peccadillo]

25. When God talks to you...

When you talk to God, you’re praying. When God talks to you, you’re schizophrenic.

[calimary]

26. And her idea of "God" is dickish.

I regret that I've come to the "tough love" view of people like her, but that's what I've come to. The truth is out there and so are all the experts and the statistics and the facts and the science. And yet you'd rather follow the snake oil salesmen and embrace the lies (including the Big Lie). Maybe you folks just have to learn these lessons the hard way.

[NurseJackie]

27. "God said no." 😂🤣😂

[orleans]

28. here we go--another go fund me (for being so stupid)

i went on the tv station's website and found a video that is a bit longer than the one on twitter
the go fund me is mentioned at the end

[FakeNoose]

29. She read all about it on Facebook - there you go

[Hulk]

30. Yeah ......he's going to be fine....

I'm sure his lungs will heal 100%, and nobody else in the family can get it now because their father had it.

This is the epitome of stupid. I have zero sympathy for this idiot and her clan. Yes there is a lot of fun false information out there... and if you prefer to listen to a bunch of idiots over actual experts in the field, and you actually may get what you deserve.

Damned fool.... just one of Millions. Nation of morons.

[Blue_true]

34. I weep for the children of that couple. nt

[KentuckyWoman]

38. She lost me at "I prayed about the vaccine"

None of them ask god about any other routine medical care ...

We have an anti mask, anti vax woman in this senior village who says she prayed about masks. In response, one of the men said he prayed about underwear . Didn't tell us if he got yea or nae out of God. Just sat there smiling letting us guess. The fink.

[Celerity]

42. one of the men said he prayed about underwear

hopefully he is not a fan of kilts if he got the thumbs down from gawwwd

[onethatcares]

40. and to think

we probably wouldn't even be discussing this if a certain person in power actually took the plague seriously in 2020.

Now please excuse me, I'm off to eat some horse tranquilizer (jk).
