    I'm not deflecting anything I'm just skeptical

    Skepticism is not deflection.
    then why are you so concerned about it?
    Again I have to remind you you were the one that made the positive claim having substantial content is your burden.

    I am simply skeptical of your claims.

    About what?

    You made a claim I am skeptical that's it. There's nothing else to it.

    I'd love to hear you explain this further.

    Explain what?

    You made a claim I am skeptical. That means I'm not convinced your claim is accurate. I would need more evidence then somebody saying so.

    That's what skeptical means.

    Oh, I didn't say anything.

    the CDC study says so.

    and just saying "Im skeptical", is not an intelligent rebuttal to a study.

    you should really provide some substantial and intelligent reason as to why you think the study is wrong.

    anyone can say "Im skeptical".

    first the CDC doesn't post on political forum so no the CDC Didn't say anything here.

    Second, I can be skeptical of the CDC I don't recognize them as all knowing deities.
    Thanks for your opinion.
    Not my burden. If you view my position as irrational dismiss me as some kook. My feelings will not be hurt.

    strawman.

    they are not a "deity", but they are a well-respected medical institution.

    and frankly, their perspective on this issue is more valuable than yours AND mine.

    Legally speaking, that is nothing that any anti-religion leftist or group of the same can manage to enforce; athough, granted, during this national crisis many of them have tried.

    Sure, that doesn't mean everything they say it's gospel.
    So why in the hell do you seem so interested in my skepticism?

    The suicide rate is spiking in varous places across this nation because the Left has DEMANDED that people be locked away in their own homes or apartment units for their own good and exist without an income source with which to pay their debts or even to purchase food or pay for their utilities. Many people have been robbed of hope thanks to the strident and hysterical policy efforts of the collective political Left.

    About 80% of those 3900 approx deaths in Sweden are due to their abysmal socialized medical care system which rations care according to age.
    Thus instead of recognizing the elder gen as the most vulnerable, priority was given to millennials and z-gen ( virtually only about 1% probability of death from covid19), whom were given hospital treatment, while the 80% probable death group, (70 and older) were denied hospital and their nursing home medical attendants told to give them morphine .

    No one can tell me why "god' can only hear prayers and be worshipped in certain buildings?

    I thought "god" was everywhere ……..

    I will continue to worship online and social distance. I hope that others stay home, as well. Lives are at stake.

    God the omnipresent ... God the omnipotent ... Let the church say, Amen. I think it's important to assemble to fellowship with and support other believers but I think God wants us to protect life and Chriatians can support one another and study the bible together virtually.

    You made a positive claim that shutting down didn’t do any good. Prove it.
    Don’t try to shift the burden of proof.

    It's probably not so much that he is encouraging people to congregate at church, as it is securing their right to choose and protecting them from arrest. If it is also politically advantageous by virtue of it being the right thing to do, then so be it.

    LOL!!!

    of course not.

    why would anyone want to be specific & clear as to why they reject evidence?

    ;)

    churches are not essential because you are able to practice your faith at home or alone in public
