A Bunch of Woke Stuff, then Underappreciated Incarnational Texts

Greetings, welcome to The Dividing Line. It's sort of a morning edition out here in Phoenix on a Tuesday. I almost thought about doing a program yesterday. But yes, it was a really, really, really, really busy day.

And I filled in, well, didn't fill in, but I guest hosted on Iron Sharpens Iron along with Pastor Bill Shishko. You know Bill from moderating some of the debates we had on Long Island. And then he and I had a debate on paedo-baptism a number of years ago there on Long Island.

And we filled in on Iron Sharpens Iron with Chris Arnzen. And so we're doing some fundraising for Iron Sharpens Iron. And that was two hours of interesting conversation and a few anecdotes toward the end.

And then I went, and it was very kind that one of our families, where we were having a get-together that evening, allowed me to do the program there so I could run out and set up my scopes. That's funny.

I was a little hurt because the house we were at, the fellow sort of thought I would have one of those like pirate things, you know. That's what I was going to set up type thing. And I'm like, no, no, no, I've got the real stuff.

Sort of the real stuff. I may not have anything super fancy, but I took out my 6-inch Orion reflector and my Meade 8-inch and got it all set up for the conjunction last night, of course. And a lot of you had weather and clouds and you'll still be able to see them fairly close together tonight.

But last night was the closest approach from the perspective of Earth between Jupiter and Saturn since 1226. Now, there was one in the 1600s, but it was too close to the Sun so you couldn't see it. It was during daytime.

So big deal. And of course, given the telescopes were invented in 1608, that means that this was the first time that anyone could look through a telescope and see Jupiter and Saturn that close to one another.

So even from a low-powered scope, they were, you know, right there, right next to each other. So I got all that set up. And it was fun. It was fun to watch people looking through the scope and going, no!

It's funny. People, the first time they use a telescope, they're like, is that real? Did you put like a sticker down at the end of this or something? Because it just, you know, and I've heard that a number of times.

People would say, it just doesn't look real. And I have a shot here. Unfortunately, my my setup on my 8-inch for taking photographs, just, it's cheap. There are ways of doing it. There are proper ways of being able to attach a camera.

I'm using the cheapest way possible. I don't have the money to do anything else. And so I just, I can never get Jupiter to resolve. But if you were looking through any of my, when I took the camera off and put the lenses back on, you could clearly see the rings of Saturn, as you can see Saturn.

That's pretty clear. But Jupiter, I can never get to resolve. And you could see the bands on Jupiter quite clearly. And you can see some of Jupiter's moons, those little dots around that Ganymede. I'm not sure if you can see Titan on Saturn this time around, but that's just one shot.

Now, it's one thing to take a picture of Jupiter, take a picture of Saturn, put them all together. This is just a single shot through my 8-inch last night. And that's how close they appeared to be. And of course, that's just, honestly, you know, it's like, so what?

That just happens to be where the Earth is right now. And so that's where they are in their orbits. But still, you know, always seeing Saturn through a telescope, it's amazing how few people have looked above their heads.

I think part of it, part of it is these things, honestly. Part of it is these things, the computer sitting here. And for a lot of people, it's like, I can get pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope, which we're about to not, quote-unquote, replace, but go light years beyond, I hope, in technology.

Hopefully, it gets launched, keeps getting delayed, and who knows what's gonna happen economically in the future. But Hubble has been a gift that just keeps on giving. And it's like, I mean, I can see awesome pictures of Saturn.

We had the Cassini mission. I have a beautiful, full-size, one of the most beautiful pictures that Cassini ever took, from the back side of Saturn. The rings and the sun's on the other side. And oh, it's just gorgeous.

Why in the world should I waste my time? Frequently, you have to go out in the cold, in the dark. You know, I've set my scopes up with my fingers. I was like, come on, fingers, work! I try to get that thing set up right.

And why bother? And most people don't. Most people don't. But a couple nights ago, I set up my 6-inch, which is really easy to do. That one's nice and simple. You can just aim and look. It's a little bit easier than the more higher power ones.

And some young guys live across the street in a rental property, go to Grand Canyon. I invite them to come over and you can tell they had never done anything like this before. And just the just the amazement, they immediately recognized what I've said to people.

It's one thing to look at a screen. It's another thing to look at a piece of paper with an image on it. But when it's your eye, yeah, it's looking through a telescope. Yeah, of course, but it's your eye.

In fact, you have to work on focusing it and moving your head around a little bit to get to right where that particular lens works for your eye. And all of a sudden Saturn pops into view and you can see the rings and you can see your moons.

Jupiter, you can see the bands. The Orion Nebula or Albireo or the Andromeda Galaxy. You see that stuff with your own eye. Yeah, you're using an instrument, but it's still your own eye. It's not just a glowing screen.

There's there's just this look when someone, there's a taking in of the breath and wow, that's that's amazing. I can't I didn't know, you know, and it's and it's true. We so many of us live in cities under a what's called a light dome and the sky at night is a mushy gray.

It's never really black. You don't see the Milky Way. You have to get 50, 60 miles outside of the edges of Phoenix to get a dark sky any longer. With Tucson growing, you can't really go south anymore.

There's just just developing an entire band where there's there's no no darkness in there at all. And so even this you can see the the background is not black at all because I was taking these fairly shortly after after dark and we're in the city.

We were sort of out a little bit out of the city, but still very much under the light dome and so you can see the planets, but you can't see deep space objects that way. Anyways, I hope you got to see it.

If you didn't get to see it last night, it clears up tonight. Still worth your effort shortly after sundown to be looking toward the west-southwest and to see Jupiter and Saturn. I was informed, even though they'd never been this close since 1226, at least visible to human beings, Jason Lyle, Dr. Jason Lyle, Biblical Science Institute, who by the way wrote a wonderful refutation of Phil Vischer.

You know, Phil Vischer, VeggieTales, who's gone ultra leftist woke, you know, and he's putting out all this stuff and using his platform to push wokeness. He attacked creationism, young earth creationism, as a modern innovation.

I think week four last and I happened to see it and so I sent it to Dr. Lyle and said, I think you might want to read this. Well, he read it and wrote a full refutation of it at Biblical Science Institute if you want to look it up.

I thought it was enjoyable to read. But Jason informed me that there will be another conjunction and it will not take 800 years this time. This time it will only be 80 years. And so yeah, I'm going, well 138, that's not looking good.

But maybe my grandkids, if they've got really good genetics, might remember because Clementine and January were there. They got to look through the scope briefly to see it. So maybe they'll remember Punkle setting up his telescopes long, long ago, back right at the beginning of the end 2020.

And we saw those things. So yeah, there you go. Hope you got a chance to see those. That was pretty cool, and it was neat seeing people getting all excited about what they could see up there in the sky.

Cultural and Political Reactions to the Spending Bill and Woke Priorities

Do we do the cultural stuff first or the Biblical stuff first? Let's normally do the Biblical stuff, then go to the cultural stuff. Let's turn it around today, get the end on a high note, I guess you could say, with the Biblical material.

Hey, aren't you really excited that you're going to be getting like half a month's rent from the U .S. government? 5 ,593 pages of the new spending bill. Almost 6 ,000 pages. How many trees died for this idiocy?

And you get half a month's rent. Yes. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and the price has gone down. You notice it was $1 ,200 just a few months ago. It's worth half what it was before. They destroy the economy.

They destroy your job. And you might say, well, it doesn't affect you. No, it did. My wife lost her job because of this. Directly. Directly. It is the actions of the government that caused that to happen.

No question about it. And I include the Republicans in this. There is nobody in Washington that can stand up and say, I have stood for liberty through all this. They didn't. Nobody did. So they destroy the economy.

Please remember their goal is the destruction of the middle class. The middle class is what has made America great. The middle class is what came out of the medieval period and allowed for advancement in science and medicine and all sorts of things.

The middle class is very, very important. You want to destroy that. You still want to have the elites. The elites will always be there. They will always protect themselves. They're going to be up there in their mansions convincing everybody else that that's where they need to be to protect you.

But you look at the system of the middle period of the middle ages of serfdom. That's what they want. And that's what they're working toward. They know that the more people they can get in government assistance and dependent upon the government, global minimum wage, those people are not going to vote against the people that are signing their checks.

And so they have permanent power. They've got it. As long as they give you enough to keep you from starving to death, then it's hard to get you to risk what little you've got to fight for liberty or freedom.

We've been here, done that, completely forgot about it, gave it up. That's America's story. And so they want to get rid of the middle class. That's what they've done. They're destroying restaurants and businesses, small businesses.

Meanwhile, big corporations, Amazon, Walmart, Google, Target, the big, big, big corporations, they're just rolling in the dough. They're rolling in the dough. Just think this is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

And then the great elites come out to us and they give us a... it's like Flying Southwest. They give you your little bag of peanuts and they expect you to go, Oh, thank you, master. I am so thankful for this bag of peanuts.

Well, they then turn around and go off and have their caviar and stuff in their mansions. This is where we are. I mean, it's so disgusting to me. Especially all the stuff. I guess there's a new American Latino...

National Museum of the American Latino is also included. That's what we need right now. You've got to have that right now. And a new women's history museum. And millions and millions of dollars toward Pakistan with gender... money for gender equality in Pakistan.

There you go. I mean, you've got to have that. I actually tweeted this morning. I apologize to the world for the fact the United States has been taken over by immoral secular leftists who are using our wealth to... well, we don't have any wealth... our pretended wealth to cram all sorts of moral evil down the throats of all other nations.

And I ask that everyone pray that we would be able to get godly leaders again here and everywhere else. But yeah, there you go. 6 ,000 pages of the new spending bill. Isn't that exciting? That's just great.

I don't even know what to say about such things. By the way, I forgot... What? Oh, 89 million for what? Furniture on the House side? Senate and House. Oh, well, they need new furniture, obviously. I mean, that's pretty important.

I mean, yeah, it's only 89 million. Let's just be honest. They don't care about the debt anymore. Because my prediction is this. I'm not a prophet nor a son of a prophet. My prediction is this. There's a global currency coming.

It's going to come with the debt forgiveness stuff where you assign everything you've got over to the government and then they forgive all your debts and now you're a serf. And that's how it's going to work.

That's why they don't care. Just keep those printing presses going, man. Get that money out there. It's not really money. It's just all fake anyways, and there you go. That's why they don't care. They don't care.

Beth Moore, Trumpism, and Christian Nationalism

I forgot to comment. I had on the list, but I forgot to comment about this last week when Beth Moore jumped in about Trumpism. I only have the first two. For some reason, the third one... You know what?

I might actually be able to pull that up, but let me see if I can do that. But the first two were interesting. I think that's where I found that. I'll scroll back and see if I can track it down. I forget what date it was, but I can't see Beth Moore's stuff.

People have to send me Beth Moore's stuff because, of course, she blocked me. I'd like to think it wasn't personal. Not that I really would care one way or the other, but I think there are programs. I haven't seen them.

I think there are programs that you can say, yeah, there it is. I found it. That you can go look at this person's account and block everyone who follows this person. I think you can do that. I haven't seen it.

Maybe somebody could tell me on Twitter or something like that what that is, but I think I just simply got caught up in one of those and that's why I got blocked, but I would be now anyways from Beth Moore.

Here's what she wrote. I do not believe these are days for mincing words. I'm 63 and a half years old and I have never seen anything in these United States of America I found more astonishing, seductive, and dangerous than the saints of God.

Ready? This is this in 63 and a half years. All of the naturalism and post-modernism and critical race theory and critical gender theory. Just think of the young women being destroyed by drugs, luprin, puberty blockers, testosterone, no longer able to be mothers, double mastectomies, men having their genitals cut off, massive confusion of 148 genders, the profaning of marriage.

Oh my goodness. Destruction of the family. Just unbelievable evil. But here we go. Beth Moore, the most seductive and dangerous thing. The saints of God. In all of that, then Trumpism. This Christian nationalism is not of God.

Move back from it. Fellow leaders, fellow leaders, that's me. Fellow leaders, we will be held responsible for remaining passive in this day of seduction to save our own skin while the saints we've been entrusted to serve are being seduced, manipulated.

If you haven't gotten the idea that Beth Moore is full-on with the egalitarian thing, you've not been paying attention. Saints who've been entrusted to serve are being seduced, manipulated, used, and stirred up into a lather of zeal devoid of the Holy Spirit for political gain.

And then I found the third one. And God help us, we don't turn from Trumpism to Bidenism. We do not worship flesh and blood. We do not place our faith in mortals. We are the church living God. We can't sanctify idolatry by labeling a leader our Cyrus.

We need no Cyrus. We have a king. His name is Jesus. Well, that last one's fine and wonderful, except it misses the reality that what Joe Biden and Kamala Harris represent is the most blatant, vile, open, unhidden expression of anti-Christian worldview expressions that we've ever seen.

The people being assigned to positions in the coming rulership, I don't call it an administration because administrations administer laws. These people are going to be administering laws. They're going to be administering the fundamental reorganization of the entirety of the American culture.

It just stuns me how wokeism can allow you to, on the one hand, see and at times even say, well, what Beth Moore said about homosexuality in her book before she unsaid what she said about homosexuality in her book, remember?

Where she had the old, orthodox, historic, proper perspective on homosexuality from a biblical viewpoint years ago, and then quietly removed it first from the Kindle edition. Kindle editions you can edit anytime you want to, you know, and then when your Kindle reader hooks up to the internet, all of a sudden you've got new stuff that you didn't have before or the old stuff that you wanted to have isn't there anymore.

And, um, that kind of stuff. They can see that. They can even say things about it. But orange man bad. Orange man bad. That's just, that's just worse than anything else. This is just all following the culture.

This is, this is, it's just sad to observe. It's just sad to observe. Um, but in 63 and a half years, she's older than I am, five and a half years older than I am. Um, yeah, even older and rich, that's saying a lot.

Um, uh, six, three and a half years old and I've never seen anything in these United States of America. Really? Nothing. Nothing more astonishing, seductive and dangerous to the saints of God than Trumpism.

Now, let me stop for a moment. I don't know what you call Trumpism. I'm seeing Trumpism used for everything that is not woke, which of course is absurd. Uh, but let's be honest, man, there's some weird stuff out there.

That's stuff that happened in Washington a couple weeks ago. There were, there was so much weirdness going on there that if you call that Trumpism, if you've got all the, uh, there are still, there are still some alleged prophets, still some alleged prophets out there going to their grave, uh, prophetically, saying that, uh, you know, hey, God's told me Trump's getting another four years.

Um, and when you start turning this guy into a messiah and, and everything like that and you close your eyes to, uh, the softness of his administration on the issue of homosexuality, very plainly division at the highest levels that he did not resolve.

He did not take a stance on very clearly his family, his history, very pro-homosexual. He didn't, he's from New York. They're everywhere, right? Why, why, why bother about that? Um, that's why, you know, when I did you, I saw someone linked to, I think Tom Buck linked to uh, Trump's Christmas greeting and look, I'm, how in the world can I sit here and listen to that Christmas greeting and not go, man, that's stronger.

That was a, that was stronger theologically in its statement about who Jesus was than anything that's been said by an American president since I don't know who, probably in the 19th century someplace.

Even from Bush. Um, it was obviously, however, not written by Donald Trump. That's the problem. I mean, I'm glad he's willing to say it. I'm glad he went to the pro-life marches. I'm glad for all that stuff, but I don't yet have any evidence.

I would love to get evidence, maybe in the coming years, he'll come forth. I would love to get some evidence that he actually believes the stuff that he was saying. It sounded like Mike Pence wrote it or some, someone along those lines because it was extremely orthodox, very strong.

Jesus is the king of kings and lord of lords and, and the whole thing about Christmas and it was, it was really, really good. And I'm glad to hear it because he ain't going to get that from Joe Biden.

And you'll get something about who knows what from Kamala Harris. Uh, but at the same time, I, I just have a hard time believing that that's coming from him. He's reading something that's been written for him.

I would love to be proven wrong about that. That would be wonderful. That'd be awesome. Uh, it's not going to change anything, but it'd be wonderful and awesome if that were the, if that were the case.

So, um, yeah, uh, but there are people that are just doing some weird stuff, weird, weird, weird stuff about, uh, about Trump. Then it's just like, whoa, back off people. You're acting really weird. Uh, so, but I don't think that's, that's not what she's talking about.

She's talking about, uh, just not being woke. I haven't, I didn't get a chance to do another search, but I can pretty much guarantee you that over the next couple of weeks, the incoming Biden, uh, kingdom, um, will make a statement about what Hungary has done.

Uh, thank God for Hungary. Thank God for Hungary and Poland. They're not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. There are no perfect governments in this world, but it's nice to see once in a while somebody stand up.

It's sort of like when the African Anglicans or African Roman Catholics or folks in Africa tell their European brothers to sit on a tack. Um, that's We, it's, it's gotten to that point now, we can't help but date ourselves by everything we say because people don't really use tacks anymore.

Um, and so sitting on one is, you know, that was that, that was something you did in school. You put a tack on somebody's seat and you'd get in trouble for it, but it was awful fun. And you know, who does that?

And people didn't go to school anymore. You can't do that over Zoom. Uh, it's just really not possible. So anyway, um, there was another Oh, I mentioned yesterday. I, I used to, I got this from my mom.

I'm busier than a one-armed paper hanger. My mom and my dad, busier than a one-armed, no one knows what a paper hanger is. No one puts paper, put wallpaper up anymore. They don't know what a, what is that?

You know, putting glue and not that. Nobody understands what that would, what that would involve. So I keep dating myself, um, badly. Um, and so Bill Shishko suggested try, um, busier than a windmill and a hurricane.

That's, that, that, that still communicates, you know, that now we've got those windmill thingies all over that, you know, kill all the birds. Generate electricity, but they kill all the birds in the process.

It's, it's, it's great.

I propose busier than a Facebook algorithm.

Well, busier than a Facebook, Facebook, Facebook algorithm that's banning, uh, all free speech. That would be, that's way too long now. Anyway, um, Hungary, this is how the BBC put it. And what do you expect from the BBC?

This is what we're going to get. You don't, do not expect, just, just get it into your mind. You will be misrepresented when you are shamed and attacked by the culture in the future. Just, just make sure that the Lord knows what your intentions were, the Lord knows your heart, and let the heathen rage.

Uh, and so the BBC is heathen. And so Hungary bans same-sex couples from adopting children. A nicer headline to be something along the lines of Hungary affirms its historical stance on the importance of mothers and fathers.

See how, see how different that sounds? It's, that's, of course, what they're doing. But, but Hungary, um, put into its constitution a definition of the family of a man and a woman. Yeah. And now that's just considered, that's grounds for the EU going after them, and they will, the European Union will go after them, just they've gone after Poland for doing similar things.

And I'm, I'm surprised they haven't already banished, if they, maybe they have, just haven't seen anything about it, uh, banished any of the leaders of the Hungarian government from Twitter and Facebook.

We're not gonna allow you on because you are bad, bad, bad, bad people, very bad people. Um, but this, let me just say to all the saints in Hungary, and I imagine we have some folks, uh, in, in Hungary and in Poland and in other places, I know we have folks in the Czech Republic, um, more power to you, way to go.

I, I wish, like I said, I'm, we have to sit here and apologize as Americans for what our government is doing in the promotion of just the most amazing, amazingly evil things all around the world. And so more power to you, congratulations, uh, keep it up, don't, don't, don't be ashamed of, uh, the nation being willing to say, this is where we stand, we will not allow this kind of, because what we're being told is, uh, Hungary is a totality.

This is what Joe Biden said a few weeks ago. This wasn't about this, but that's why I think there will be a statement eventually, uh, called, uh, Hungary, a totalitarian regime. That's what you're going to be.

You're going to be accused of promoting totalitarianism, hate. That's the, that's what they're going to use to silence anybody who does not walk lockstep with the regime. That's what the regime, the Biden regime, that's what it should be.

That's, that's the proper term regime. The Biden-Harris regime. And, but, but Biden and Harris are not going to have to do that through governmental sources. Right now, Google, Facebook, Twitter, they do it on their own.

That they're, they're, they're functioning as quasi-governmental authorities in crushing dissent and free speech. That's, that's their thing now. And, uh, that's, now just a little word of warning to Zuckerberg and Jack and whoever the nameless faceless robots are in charge of Google.

Um, I really think, I think Google already is run by AI. It's probably some kind of freaky looking algorithm robot, AI robot out there. Um, just a word of warning. You may think that you're protecting yourself from the government by doing what you're doing.

By, you know, Google, for example, shifting millions and millions and millions of votes away from Trump to Biden by their use of algorithms. It's, it's, it's been documented. It's there. It happened in 2016.

Worse in 2020. Um, Twitter, although everybody, uh, Facebook, you may think you're protecting yourself, but you need to realize that totalitarianism eventually moves from soft totalitarianism to hard totalitarianism.

And that means your free speech rights, which right now work fine because you're going the same direction. But if you ever disagree, they will come down on you just as hard as you're coming down on us.

And by then it'll be too late for you. Just a warning, a word of warning. Just, just be aware. That's what's coming. That's what's coming there. There you go. So yeah.

I was going to say that driving in this morning, I was listening to talk radio. I can't verify the documentation on it, but the fellow mentioned that during the election season, Twitter censored Trump over 530 times.

And Biden, not once, not even once. Nope. No, of course not.

Uh, it's, it's too obvious. It's too plain. I don't know how anybody can, can question it, but there you go. So hungry. Congratulations. Stand strong, uh, fight the good fight. Um, it doesn't mean everything hungry, hungry does is exactly right.

Now a, um, article appeared from, which included, um, this was by, uh, Matthew Arbo, C. Ben Mitchell, and Andrew T. Walker. Walker is a ethics professor at Southern, uh, and a graduate of Southern, I think.

Uh, I think Mitchell's also a Baptist. Anyway, um, why we plan to get vaccinated, a Christian moral perspective. I just wanted to interact, uh, with, um, one little section of it under safe, safety and efficacy.

Now I, I have laid out, um, what I think is a fair case as to why it seems to me to be extremely logical, fair, Christian, moral, ethical, to not receive the new vaccinations at this point in time, and to resist governmental mandated invasion of your bloodstream at all times.

Um, I have laid out a number of reasons for this. I believe that there is more than sufficient evidence of collusion amongst various governmental agencies, world agencies, such as the World Health Organization, the CDC, uh, in the United States, um, the World Economic Forum in utilizing the COVID -19, uh, situation, if not bringing it about, to create the circumstances of Operation Warp Speed, of creating massive irrational panic, massive irrational.

Let me show you, do you want irrationality? Let me show you what irrationality looks like, okay? I go to this little pizza and pasta place, been going there for years, and the entire dining area is about maybe three times the size of this studio.

It's small. There's one, two, three, four, there are eight tables, okay? There are only eight tables in this dining area. So, from the front door to the counter, I would say is about 10 to 12 feet maximum, all right?

That's how small, we're talking a couple hundred square feet max, small number of people, fully loaded. And, uh, I have not been inside that restaurant now since June. You know why? Because you have to have a mask on.

As soon as you sit down, you can take it off. So, I have to wear a mask to walk, sometimes as little as four feet, and then I can take it off. That is insane. There is no rational, logical, ethical, scientific, virological basis for wearing a cotton mask that is doing nothing to walk four feet to take it off, but I have to.

That's why I haven't been in. I have not been inside a restaurant. I've been inside one restaurant since June, and that was on a trip. One, that's it. It's insanity. We all know it's insanity. We all laugh at it.

I'd have to, when I was driving back to St. Charles, it wasn't too bad back then, because I just had this thing around my neck, and it was cold. So, I mean, it was pretty natural to be all bundled up anyway, so I hardly even noticed it.

But when I would go in, I remember very clearly this one stop, and I'm looking at the gal behind the, and she's behind plexiglass, but she still has to wear a mask, and it's right here, you know, and no one cares, and everybody on the planet knows that's doing absolutely nothing, but we're following the rules.

That's what it's all been about, okay? It's insanity, absolute insanity, and we all know it in our heart of hearts, but this cultic mentality has developed. A cultic mentality has developed where it's, I'm following the rules.

I am being a good person. I'm doing my part. Man, that's scary. That is scary, scary, scary. So, I've laid out in the past all sorts of reasons, but one of my primary reasons in this situation, I've said I love tech.

I think it is fulfilling the creation mandate to utilize technology. I was using technology to take that picture. We use technology to know it was going to be happening. I just think it's, I think one of the most awesome things mankind has done, to be honest with you, is the Cassini probe to Saturn and the landing on Titan.

I have, I've made a picture in my home that was taken from the probe that landed, the Huygens probe that landed on Titan in, what was that, 2005? Saw things that no human eye has ever seen, because the atmosphere of Titan is opaque.

We can't see through it. It's methane. And so, here is this probe, and we land it through that. It rains methane at minus 178 degrees, and we landed a probe through there. I've got the pictures that it's taking as it's landing in this place we've never seen before.

Wow, that's awesome. I love tech. I think that's absolutely awesome. I think it's tremendous when it's in the right hands, when it's in a worldview that will not allow it to become something horrifically evil.

So, I'm not against tech, but in this situation, the tech has been rushed at an absurd speed. Warp speed, in fact. And so, I am seeing all these people, including these seminary professors, promoting the safety and efficacy of a vaccine that they do not know is safe and effective.

They don't know that. The only way to know this is by testing over time. You can't rush this. You can't. You can pretend, and that's what's being done. And it's shocking to me how many Christian leaders and others have all bought into the, I'm gonna go ahead and repeat it, it's safe and effective.

You don't know that. I hope and pray that it is. I really do. But you don't know that. And if you're saying it right now, without the clear caveat, I'm praying that it will be, you're just lying to us.

And that's what makes me go. So, here are conservative Christian ethicists. Because of the rapid pace of development under Operation Warp Speed, it seems natural to worry that COVID -19 vaccines may not be as safe and effective as they would have been if they were developed more slowly.

Although it is true that the vaccines have been developed quickly, the same scientific process has been followed. No, it hasn't. That is not true. That is a false statement. The scientific process involves long-term health studies in the people taking the vaccine.

You can't dilate time. That's just an untrue statement. How did it get in there? I don't understand this. How did that get, the same scientific process has been followed. No, it hasn't. Show me how it has.

Show me the, it's real simple, real simple. Give me the five-year health studies. You can't. You know you can't, and there's a reason why you can't. In fact, because the stakes are so high, the scrutiny and oversight have never been more intense.

Wait a minute. Those two sentences don't go together. You can have scrutiny and oversight in a short period of time. That's not the same thing as having five-year data. I'm just stunned by this. How is this happening?

Who's getting paid here is what I want to know. Or maybe it's just simply, hey, we're just doing our part. We're just trying to help. Dan Baruch, a vaccine researcher at Harvard, maintains, quote, never before have there been vaccine trials have been followed so closely from inception to onset to conduct, end quote, or more quickly.

That's the point. I don't care how many eyes are on it. Eyes can't make time go any faster. You have no five-year, you have no one-year, you have no two-year, you have no three-year, you have no four-year, you have no five-year, do you?

Nope, you don't. Well, we will in five years and we'll have a billion case studies. Thank you, guinea pigs. Let's hope it turns out well, but that's all we've got is hope. Oh, of course they have indemnification.

They can't be sued. You're not going to have the, if you were damaged by the COVID -19 vaccine 10 years ago, call this Italian-named tourney or something. Call Pal and San. That's right, because you're not going to get nothing.

They have indemnification. Second, the ways the process has been accelerated have not compromised safety. These are ethicists, but they're actually acting as salesmen. They're salesmen and apologists.

Protocols followed by the FDA are rigorous and include months of safety surveillance. Really? Months. What does the FDA normally require? Years. I guess if you can think 600 bucks from Uncle Sam means something, then you can go ahead months, years, same thing.

Who cares?

If I'm checking that timeline, I'm thinking that it's single-digit months. Yeah. I don't think you can even get double digits out of that number. You can't.

No way. Can't. Nope. Nope. Include months of safety surveillance. Most side effects of vaccines show up within six weeks. Really? Tell that to the people who lost all motor skills in the 2016 flu vaccine debacle.

So there has been plenty of margin to monitor for adverse events. Whoa. The more I read this, the more I go, man, if I ever need to sell a bad used car, I know who to do it. I know who to get to write it up for me.

The unpleasant side effects such as headaches, fatigue, and pain at the injection site are real. We should all be fully informed about them. By the way, I don't care about any of those. Those are standard for any vaccine.
