the last decade has really helped me understand in a more visceral sense what it meant when God hardened the pharoah’s heart

How firm is the hold of antivax beliefs?
From the parents of the 6 year old unvaccinated child who died of measles:
“Don’t do the shots,” the girl’s mother said. Measles, she added, is “not as bad as they’re making it out to be.” She noted that her four other children all recovered…

Of human sacrifice, and parents’ tears,
Though for the noise of Drums and Timbrels loud
Their children’s cries unheard, that pass’d through fire
To his grim idol.
Not too shabby. 🥳
I now read it as a closing of the opportunity for forgiveness until retribution is meted out.
The last spark of self awareness hardens the heart. Very greek arc.
Except, today with vaccines, 5 of 5 kids would have survived.
Like, what is this shit. Better the kid dies at 6 than lives a long life of *checks notes* illness-free prosperity?
I dunno, Mom. It seems to me that my daughter dying would be about as bad as it could get. But who knows, maybe you were tired of her.
To what extent?
Giving her all kinds of grace, she needed to say nothing at all, nothing.
If a pious man sees a beggar lying sick and hungry on the road, he might pass by and think:
but an atheist might instead think:
"there is no god, therefore I MUST HELP HIM MYSELF."
and from out of the heresy of atheism can be drawn the fierce urgency of doing good in the world rather than falling back on thoughts and prayers.
Are you sure you don't mean chicken pox parties?
But it’s a lie. It’s always been a lie. Sandyhook proved that. Thalidomide before that. And every bomb we make that gets dropped on a school somewhere.
Henry died in April 2013. The vax came out October 2014.
Because how can you watch all of your kids getting sick and one of them dying and still hold on to your beliefs as if nothing happened?
Woooooow...
Some of the cards are missing from their Uno deck
Only a truly malignant person accepts a 1/5 mortality rate among their own children without blinking an eye.

And your all loving god made him hateful so that his story made sense.
What a stupid story.
Once again, religion using fear as a powerful tool.
God made the people who created vaccines. So, the anti vaxxers are defying God?
🔥May they burn in hell for the murder of innocents.
Your Mennonites are very different to us. In a bad sense.
What the heck?
It's ONLY 1 in 5 dead... That's “not as bad as they’re making it out to be.”
...as if that 1 was just an abstraction and not her child. Some are too far gone and can't be pulled out I'm afraid.
It's still chilling tho.
or anyone else's. 💔
AH, NO WORRIES...YOU WILL GET OVER IT..
SUCH CRUELTY

News media amplifying their 'measles ain't so bad, it jist kilt our kid' message is definitely a fucking choice, on both parts.
They call that Christianity? Got it.
It’s a shame not everyone got that message
Did you mean "--tarded"? 'Cuz that's just inaccurate (and rude.) Both the Shrub and Palin were too clever by half, not intellectually deficient in some way. They were acting in bad faith, they were were deceitful, they were dissembling. But never stupid.
Losing a child < admitting to being WRONG.
Let's be clear: Nothing's LESS manly than being such an insecure little bitch that you can't say, "I was wrong" - no matter how big the mistake. Wrong is wrong whether you admit it or not.

My sis has 6 kids all of them are still with us too… it’s crazy how many of us survive vaccination 🫠
Poor baby.
There are a lot of people right now who couldn't rise to that level.
