Funny how we cherry pick what he is responsible for. If he is all-powerful, he caused this. If he didn't cause this, then he isn't all-powerful. If you pick something in between, tell me how this work.

alright, can we stop with the religious content? on both sides of the aisle on beliefs. I don't want to have to pull posts to the religious forum. 

thanks, chiver mod

Fine by me, but I don't need to here their viewpoint either. It needs to be kept out by both sides, otherwise, my Jesuit education is awakened and I can't help myself

yes, both directions. there is a religious subforum for threads that veer into those topics. a post here and there is generally ignored for the guideline. but we passed a page break. enough of that.

A beautiful photo in news
USS Comfort cruising past the Statue of Liberty in NY harbor

It IS a nice photo.  It's also a risky move.

The enormous hospital ship U.S.N.S. Comfort arrived in New York Harbor Monday morning, a gleaming white beacon of hope for a besieged city as it fights the novel coronavirus.

But in sending a Navy hospital ship to join the battle against a pandemic, military officials have taken a huge and calculated risk: Can a ship, the type of vessel where viruses have been shown to spread with frightening ease, actually remain safe from the infection raging just outside its berth at Pier 90 at Manhattan Cruise Terminal?

Navy officials do not plan to treat people with coronavirus aboard the Comfort. The mission is to take patients with other medical problems to relieve New York hospitals overrun by virus patients. But it is not as if the ship’s medical personnel can quarantine patients for two weeks before they accept them on board for treatment.

Navy officials, aware that all it would take is one positive case to turn the Comfort from rescue ship to floating petri dish, insist that they are doing everything short of Saran-wrapping the ship to try to keep it virus-free.
