Covidism is Not a Religion
It's Missing Free Will and Informed Consent
4-25-22
You have heard people say that this covid hysteria is like a religious frenzy. That covid maniacs have lost all common sense and are now just acting on their religious faith of safety and zero covid. That slave maskers and poison clot shotters are clinging to their cloth and poison talismans just as Christians cling to their bibles and rosary beads. That covidism is the science religion of our time (sorry Christian Scientism, you have been replaced).
My opinion is that view is completely wrong. Covidism is not a religion. In fact, it is the opposite of a religion. Since, I am a traditional Catholic, I am going to show how Covidism is the opposite to Catholicism.
Catholicism is founded on the teachings of Jesus, the Son of God and Messiah, in the Gospels, through the apostles and an unbroken succession of popes and bishops to the present day. The main tenets of Catholicism are that God created the entire world and man with free will, and after learning about Jesus, if you CHOOSE to believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and live by his teachings, you will reach eternal life after you die.
Covidism is founded on the teachings of scientists/politicians, from 2019 to the present day. The main tenets of covidism are that viruses will destroy the world and man, and man does not have free will in choosing how to live or die. Without question or information, you MUST wear a slave mask and take a poison clot shot, and MUST live by the teachings of health departments/politicians, in order to maybe physically live to your normal life expectancy of 76 years or so.
Catholicism has free will and informed consent.
Covidism has force/coercion and ignorance/obfuscation.
One thing Jesus never did was force anyone to follow or believe in him, even after instructing people on how to live right and obtain heaven. In fact, he let people go their own way many times. For example, there was the rich man who asked Jesus how he could gain eternal life. Jesus informed him to sell his possessions and follow Him. After this informed consent, the man went away sad knowing he could not take up Jesus' offer. (Mathew 19:16-30) Jesus didn't run after him and shove him to the ground, forcing him to sell his possessions. The man had free will, he had informed consent, he made his own decision for his life.
Jesus even told his apostles not to force anyone to believe in Him. He said † "Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words — go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet." † (Mathew 10:14). Jesus didn't tell his apostles to force the inhabitants to believe and make them do what they said. He said preach to them the Gospel and let the people make their own decisions. That is true free will and informed consent. Of course people will point out the Spanish Inquisition and all the atrocities throughout history of the Catholic Church forcing conversions and belief - that is not what Jesus taught, that is human beings screwing things up as usual.
Now let's look at covidism. For covidism, only two things will lead you to maybe live to your normal life expectancy, since covidism only cares about your physical body. Those two things are slave masks, which impede breathing oxygen and clot shots, that poison you and impair your natural immune system.
First, slave masks - do they stop viruses. NO. Does it matter to covidism? NO. Can you opt out of wearing slave masks? NO. There is absolutely no free will in not wanting to have your oxygen intake impeded. You MUST wear a slave mask that does nothing but impair oxygen, diminish brain cells, and cause bacteria infections. In addition, there is no informed consent regarding almost a century of studies showing slave masks do absolutely nothing against viruses.
The same for the clot shots. For all those who took the shots, how many people were given the side-effects information beforehand? NOBODY? Were there blank inserts for the poison? YES.
Did the TV commercials explain the adverse reactions and deaths that resulted from the poison clot shots? NO.
So there was absolutely no informed consent for taking the poison. In addition, covidism said there was no free will in taking the poison. You don't want to take it? You lost your job, house, income, and at times your life (see stories of those denied medical treatment for refusing the shot). If there was a modern day Spanish Inquisition, it was the clot shot covidism campaign. (monty python skit)
So, ask yourself the next time someone compares covidism to a religion. Is it really? Am I required to attend Church, take communion, believe in an afterlife, follow the commandments, provide charity to others? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Does the Bible inform me that I should be doing these things? ABSOLUTELY. Free will and informed consent.
On the contrary, am I required to follow health departments/politicians, wear slave masks, and take poison clot shots? ABSOLUTELY. Do the scientists/politicians inform me beforehand what will really happen if I do all of the above. ABSOLUTELY NOT. No free will or informed consent.
God created all of us with free will to obtain informed consent, which will lead us to live our best lives. Freedom and information are the tenets to a true religion, anything opposite to that is not.
