Bible question..you're my expert.

in theory, isn't there a time when because of all the corruption and evil Michael blows his trumpet and the contents of the second bowl is released; not all men will be killed but the innocent will die too and God will then reveal himself? thoughts?

my thoughts are that that is all mythology that was stolen from a dozen different pre existing religions, which stole their dogma from a hundred religions that existed before them...it's all mythology, it's all borrowed, and it's all bullshit...every religion that has ever existed is just a means for a few people to exert control over many people. i do have a little spirituality, i don't believe the universe happened by accident, but we might have...we'd be like a mite infestation in some kid's potato display at the galactic science fair..."ooh, good job Timmy, but you seem to have some sort of parasites growing in your diorama"....

We like Chicago style deep dish from time to time, but it is SO filling. Two slices and I’m good. It really is like eating a piece of pie. Getting it in Chicago is more authentic but there are a couple places in the Detroit and Ann Arbor area that make a mean deep dish. Anthony’s Gourmet Pizza in Ann Arbor is our favorite and PizzaPappalis is pretty good too.
I generally prefer Detroit-style deep dish like Buddy’s or Jets though. My younger kid thinks Little Caesar’s hot-n-ready pepperoni is fine dining (barf!!!). He will grow out of that one day.
Most Tuesday’s since March 2020 have been “Pandemic Pizza night” at our house. We mix it up but the wife often gets Hungry Howies because it’s close and she likes their coupons (and pizza). Not a fan of New York style pizza myself but I didn’t grow up with it.

Vaccine Holdouts in Army and Navy Will Be Dismissed, Military Says (Published 2021)

Vaccine Holdouts in Army and Navy Will Be Dismissed, Military Says
Several governors are seeking exemptions for their National Guard troops.

WASHINGTON — The vast majority of active-duty troops in the Army and the Navy are vaccinated against the coronavirus, and the small number of those still refusing shots will soon be dismissed from the military, officials said on Thursday.

In the Army, 468,459 active-duty soldiers, or 98 percent, have received at least one dose of the vaccine. The Navy has inoculated 342,974 members, with roughly 1.7 percent still holding out.

Some of those who are unvaccinated, however, have medical and administrative waivers or pending requests, or have already signed up for shots. But Army officials said that less than 1 percent of active-force members are in that category. Thousands of troops requested religious exemptions, but none have been granted, officials said.

The National Guard’s vaccination numbers have lagged behind the rest of the military.

The holdouts, especially among National Guard troops, underscore the increasing politicization of vaccine mandates in a part of government — the military — where many other vaccinations are administered with little controversy...

Jets is pretty good, chain, but whatever.

Generally speaking though, not great. Even when I lived more in the city and had much wider options, they just weren't that good. At least not good enough to justify price/effort/etc.

Shitty service, bad attitudes, overworked wait staff, long wait times.

I have an DR. appointment in sacto monday that should end about 5pm.

Just in time for Zelda's new operating times. cant wait!

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Now If you want great or quick service this is not the place to go.
The wait is incredibly long just for a table and if you don't order your food before you get seated then you are going to have another long wait for food. Also, the service staff is so busy that they aren't very friendly.
However, the pizza is amazing which is why there is not only a long wait, but is the reason this has been a midtown Sacramento institution for years. If you want to experience what midtown Sacramento is all about and need a change from the suburbs then this is the place to be."

The religious side of my brother in law's family never mentioned his sister was in town. She is one of the, "They put a chip in the vaccine, it is against my religion." crowd from our mini-bible-belt area that has 15% of the province's population while causing 60% of admissions to hospitals and 80% of ICU patients with covid. The province has occupancy restrictions in their area due to the prevalence of covid. They think the government is persecuting them by not letting them gather in their churches in the numbers they want or to go unmasked and hug each other. So they are having secret worship services in tractor barns and the like. The government (right wing party) is not cracking down on them as they are their base, rather then enforcing laws they would rather ask politely for the wingnuts to come to reason.

Wonder if the brother in law's sister will come around to the majority's thinking or she will still believe it is God's will whether the virus gets you or not. And if you get it and survive, whether it shows you trusted in your faith and passed the test? With a little help while she was in a coma for ten days in the ICU while she was in the big city.

Tell her this:

Previous Favorite Story |

A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.
Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, “Jump in, I can save you.”
The stranded fellow shouted back, “No, it’s OK, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me.”
So the rowboat went on.
Then a motorboat came by. “The fellow in the motorboat shouted, “Jump in, I can save you.”
To this the stranded man said, “No thanks, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith.”
So the motorboat went on.
Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, “Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety.”
To this the stranded man again replied, “No thanks, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith.”
So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.
Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, “I had faith in you but you didn’t save me, you let me drown. I don’t understand why!”
To this God replied, “I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?”
Flood. Man on the roof of his house

If covid overwhelms the hospitals an ICU bed might be hard for her to find, I guess she will have to pray the plague away.

Extra bed space had been made by shipping normal patients far out of town.
