Says this church sign "...Facts don't matter" ?????

Really, really stupid. I understand the sign. To conservative faithful believers, it is true. Facts dont matter to them. But facts should matter.

I believe the implied meaning here is that anything thought of or viewed as a fact can be overcome or transcended by faith if it is the desired outcome.
For instance, my friend had stage 4 cancer but through faith overcame that fact. I know what you are going to say. O.K. modern medicine but at that stage, it was something more. Consider existential symbiotic cosmology which, in my opinion, is the essence of God. Subjective conscious volition over the physical universe through the conduit of God, in other words.

Well, God created science so that makes sense. Unfortunately, man has messed with God's perfect science and perfect plans. There are now natural consequences for which we must suffer.

My reply to this is: Have faith.

I saw an article the other day about a "pastor" that is telling his flock that masks are NOT allowed in church and if anyone comes with a mask, they will be asked to leave!

In November, our one neighbor had a big gathering for family for Thanksgiving and then Christmas. There was an elderly couple that were friends of hers that were invited> no one wore masks and never social distanced. As a matter of fact, she had told my husband and me prior to these gatherings that "If God wants me to get it (Covid) then I will but if He doesn't, He doesn't." We definitely stayed away from her and her family from then on. Anyway, the elderly man got Covid right after Christmas and died 2 days later.

At a church that our fitness group was using for class during the week: the pastor's wife made the statement that "my faith in Jesus will protect me, won't wear a mask"...no too long after that, her own mother died of Covid. I say: "negligent homicide".
