    That is a false dichotomy. If God did not create COVID, it’s not necessarily a bioweapon. It could still be an accidental lab escape or a naturally evolved disease, for example.

      Wouldn’t both examples be acts of God? I could never wrap my logical mind around the nonsense people call “religion.”

      I mean, assuming god to be real, wouldn’t all of those options still have been created by god? Either directly through evolution, or indirectly through inaction?

      That is missing half the point. If you believe in the Christian God then you also believe that that God created the world and everything in it. So God would still have made it, the lab which created it and everything else.

      It is not often that you find a statement which is dumb on so many levels that it actually gets dumber every time you pick it apart, but I am not surprised that MTG was the one to make such a statement.
