Albert Schweitzer, around 1950, announced that the greatest value in this world is human life. In 1952, he received the Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophy of “Reverence for Life,” which is quite peculiar from a Lutheran minister, because in Christianity, the greatest value in this world is one’s salvation.
It became the world of opposites. Some folks really wanted covid to exist so badly, they blindly believed "we care" and volunteered for the shots. I am certain no nursing home patient was allowed to refuse. The folks who watched it from their living rooms will never understand.
The isolation allowed experimental tx and when death happened, it was Covid.
it seems to me that both the good god and satan need our free will consent before they can act on us,,, we choose initially our direction , that seems to be the " deal " but now that the vaxxxed are no longer made in good gods image ... { " they are now " gm " } that deal might be changed or nullified or something else , already new vaxxes dont have to be tested on animals before they are administered to the already vaxxxed .... good god please help us and show us how to help ourselves and others deal with evil according to your devine good will

If you're not familiar with the work of Derrick Jensen, I highly recommend his books. He is an ecophilosopher and radical environmentalist who wrote the 2 volume book 'Endgame: Problem of Civilization/Endgame: Resistance'. His books will make you weep with grief for all that we lost by forcing people to live in cities, tearing them away from the land of their ancestors, dehumanizing both men and women to serve masters who dominate and control with violence. All of his books have reverence for life - ALL life, not just human life - as the theme. https://derrickjensen.org/https://derrickjensen.org/endgame/.
To give you an idea of how powerful his work is, after borrowing his book Endgame in December of 2010 and devoured the two volumes over the holidays,, I just HAD to order ALL of his other books in January 2011 and proceeded to read each one. I couldn't get enough. It was like someone who was starved of oxygen, finally breathing fresh air. These books felt as though they had restored my connection to myself and helped me finally realize - after 50 years of living - what it truly means to be fully human. They're so beautifully written and exhaustively researched that you come away feeling like you've just attended an university course in sociology, ecology, psychology, anthropology, archeology all at once.
Furthermore, he's very funny and approachable. We correspond regularly and he invites people to join his book club and receive daily updates on his life and his writing process. So, people get to see his books as they evolve.
Schweitzer's work as a missionary in Gabon inspired me to take up the study of medicine at the age of 9 years. I had read his biography and was amazed at what he achieved and the passion he possessed:
"Who can describe the injustice and cruelties that in the course of centuries they [the coloured peoples] have suffered at the hands of Europeans?... If a record could be compiled of all that has happened between the white and the coloured races, it would make a book containing numbers of pages which the reader would have to turn over unread because their contents would be too horrible."
Schweitzer thought that Western civilization was decaying because it had abandoned affirmation of life as its ethical foundation.
Read Decay and Restoration of Civilization by Schweitzer. His compassion for Africans who needed medical help brought him to Africa before WW1. He raised the money by performing organ concerts in Europe. He trained himself in medicine. You must take the man in the round. .He wrote the West went into decline with the Peloponnesian War. As I recall he considered his work Missionary.
Of course, those who say they want to save lives don't mention the quality of life once it's saved. The cancer industry can keep peeps with cancer alive longer but at a cost. Actually, at two costs. The cost of the drugs which are insanely expensive and drain your savings if you have any and the cost of the quality of your life. With the advent of the monetization of everything, there will never be another cure. It will always be disease management, never disease abatement. Disease management versus abatement means endless revenue and profit streams. Fyi, I'm not advocating for any of it. There are too many people as it is living materialistically well beyond the carrying capacity of the planet.
The funny thing is, tragic humor albeit, they didn't save lives. A million of have perished thus far and despite all the jumping up and down and whining, America never really effectively managed the pandemic hence the massive death numbers compared to say, China.
Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.
I wonder what came first in cars, radios or seat belts....I know both were contentious. I have friends who wont wear their seat belt, but most of them like the music in the car. Sometimes I drive without my seatbelt and the radio on at the same time, because I am such a rebel.

We were told no questions, just take the shot!

Goodness that last bit describes me - living an existence that isn't worth living .
I love what the NT says, seek to do it. Do not judge. Judge =condemn, pass judgement on, thus hindering change.
But judge righteous judgement. To me, this seeks the best for
the person. Albert is one, and I then think of Ravi Zachariah(sp).
You are right. Reverence for God, the most important point, Salvation, which entails peace with God.
Thus, I feel Albert erred. Reverence for TRUTH, for Godly love.
I do not wish to sound callous, for I do have compassion for suffering (having suffered), but living 19 years, tortured and dying or
living 85 years, 'passing away', NET results= death.
I have Reverence for those struggling to do right, live right
under tough circumstances. But not point blank 'life'.
Because I do not judge, however, I'd help as needed, regardless.

Ray - thanks for the link to this article, which makes the point very pithily.

****C. S. Lewis observed that the most dangerous criminals are the ones who are oppressing you in order to save you.****
There is enough treachery, hatred violence absurdity in the average
Human being to supply any given army on any given day
And the best at murder are those who preach against it
And the best at hate are those who preach love
And the best at war finally are those who preach peace
Those who preach god, need god
Those who preach peace do not have peace
Those who preach peace do not have love
Beware the preachers
Beware the knowers
Beware those who are always reading books
Beware those who either detest poverty
Or are proud of it
Beware those quick to praise
For they need praise in return
Beware those who are quick to censor
They are afraid of what they do not know
Beware those who seek constant crowds for
They are nothing alone
Beware the average man the average woman
Beware their love, their love is average
Seeks average
But there is genius in their hatred
There is enough genius in their hatred to kill you
To kill anybody
Not wanting solitude
Not understanding solitude
They will attempt to destroy anything
That differs from their own
Not being able to create art
They will not understand art
They will consider their failure as creators
Only as a failure of the world
Not being able to love fully
They will believe your love incomplete
And then they will hate you
And their hatred will be perfect
Like a shining diamond
Like a knife
Like a mountain
Like a tiger
Like hemlock
Their finest art

****During the plandemic, “saving grandma” was an essential slogan****
Not for Andrew Cuomo, it wasn't. He used the opportunity to murder as many grandmas as he could.
