"No. If it's mandatory, I'm quitting my fucking job."

I can't imagine people being so selfish that they would rather throw away their source of income than take the most minimal precaution to ensure the safety of others.

This isn't telling you to give up alcohol or attend a prayer service. It's not compromising any of your personal liberties. It's literally asking you not to be a danger to other people. It's like telling someone not to throw a live grenade into a crowd of people and being met with the response, "Don't tell me what to do!"

There was a post going around on Facebook a while back about how the whole "sharing the word of God" thing is specifically designed to provoke rejection, so that one will go back to their in-group where they'll feel accepted compared to the rejection they faced elsewhere, as a means of further trapping them in it. IIRC it cited an actual expert, but I can't find the post again so can't confirm if / who this is the case.

Political extremism and conspiracy theories seem to have this effect just as much in play as religion does.

Indeed, and they all seem to get the same new ideas and talking points, even right down to the exact same metaphors / comparisons, at the same time, too. Almost as if someone else is doing the thinking for them.

Thinking that the hesitant are all just brainwashed, conspiracy theorist, Trump supporting loons is as much a conclusion based upon disinformation as anything else.

Yesterday, there was an FDA "Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee" , and a Emergency Medicine Physician from New Orleans said "we need larger trials that demonstrate that vaccines reduce hospitalization without finding evidence of serious harm. I know many think that the vaccine hesitant are dumb or just misinformed. That's not at all what I've seen."

He went on to say "They think their risk is low. They're not wrong" and "Our trials weren't big enough. They weren't big enough to identify [that] the vaccines cause myocarditis, yet now we know they do."

I understand the belief that a fetus is a life and how some might exploit that belief to exert control over women. I understand the historic connection between religion and war. I don't understand how an individual can walk around being a deliberate danger to others in the name of faith unless he or she sees himself or herself as a physical manifestation of the Biblical plagues of Egypt.

If one of your friends started spreading hate speech about other races, would you still hang out with them? Not hanging around messed up people isnt cult behavior

If we're trying to figure out which side is the cult in this regard, then it's not hard to understand that the side that is the cult is the one that has people:
  • Denying covid exists, spreading vaccine misinformation, getting covid, and then demanding the vaccine
  • Denying covid exists, spreading vaccine misinformation, getting covid, and denying covid's existence while they die of covid

Christian's should be pushing for the vaccines, as you are supposed to love they neighbor and not getting the vaccine shows you want your neighbor to die. So they are going against GOD and jesus's own teachings. Which is why even though I am a christian I kind of dislike a lot of christians.
