Facebook jail? Facebook quarantine?

Facebook

Facebook has in error blocked my second Blogger website, Satire Und Theology from posting entries on my Facebook business page, Russell Norman Murray, PhD. Facebook falsely claims I violated community standards with a recent entry where Kenneth Copeland is on a YouTube video stating...

Quote: The Devil's tryin' to give me the flu

Further, the Blogger entry and the associated Facebook entry contained the following comments from me:

Presumptive theology in regards to God, Satanic beings and humanity, and making money in the process.
---

Obviously, my entry was not supporting Kenneth Copeland's claim.

I have made three requests from Facebook for clarification in regard to community standards. No reply.

X versus Y

Facebook
I am approaching this entry philosophically, as opposed to politically. I am Canadian, anyway. I am a theologian and philosopher of religion and do not pretend to be otherwise.

This in regards to COVID-19, as I sit here, healthy, but in isolation.

In the United States, President Trump wants the US economy 'opened up' by Easter.

Every scientific and medical expert I have viewed on CNN, FOX, CBC, Global, CTV, either does not agree or at least takes a more cautious approach in regards to date setting.

I also am viewing some of the data on statistical websites.

The approach from President Trump and some conservatives is to emphasize the economy, business, promotion and the need to avoid an economic recession or even depression (X) over scientific and medical data and concerns of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic (Y).

There is definitely a philosophical tension present, but at this point, I side more with the scientific and medical data and concerns with the spread of COVID-19 pandemic (Y). I do, however, reason that (X) is also very important, as an economic depression, especially, is very problematic.

This is also an example of emphasizing one type of intelligence and knowledge over another; economic (X) versus scientific (Y), for example, and vice-versa.

Many people favour types of intelligence and knowledge over other types and this is key in held to worldviews and opinions.

Being innovative?


Vernazza, Italy: Travel and Leisure, Facebook.
Besides praying for others, I am praying for innovative ideas in regards to the new realities of the COVID-19 pandemic, and for divine direction in regards to new realities that will likely occur post-pandemic.

Gold plated, diamond studded tp

So, the grocery store we went to had been toilet paper hoarded, with many bare shelves, overall.  I was informed this was the case with the major local stores. But, I have a 'secret' smaller store source that had the 'gold plated, diamond studded' tp.

Sad when a successful shopping day is purchasing toilet paper...

Colombia: Temple of Lucifer

Quindio, Colombia
David Emery March 14 2018 Snopes

In short, although it does exist, Colombia’s controversial Church of Lucifer appears to be less a religious (or anti-religious) institution than the home base for a bizarre confidence scheme run by its owner, Víctor Damián Rozo. A reporter for Vice Colombia came to a similar conclusion after peeking behind the curtains of Rozo’s operation in 2017. Among the deceptions he was caught engaging in was paying local residents a few pesos each to pose as devotees of Lucifer:

Yes, see YouTube video below:

Víctor Damián Rozo claims to be the very son of the devil and has built a temple in Colombia dedicated to worshiping Satan. More than ten years ago, Rozo renounced his Catholic religion to give his life to Lucifer, who he considers to be the only true god. Since then, his mission has been to recruit Luciferian parishioners, congregate them in his temple, and link their souls with the devil. On this episode of 'VICE INTL,' we traveled to Rozo's temple to be initiated in a bombastic ceremony of satanist purification.

Regardless of levels of true Satanic, Luciferianism, worship from this group and its followers in Colombia;, it is incredibly foolish to worship a finite, fallen, evil, angel (Genesis 3, Revelation 12, as examples) instead of the infinite, eternal, holy, good, God (Genesis 1-3, Revelation 20-22, as examples). Even if there is some earthly gain in devil worship, the end result is post-mortem, everlasting destruction (Revelation 20). It is also incredibly foolish to play spiritual games.

I think the driver's comments in regards to (paraphrased) the temple looking like a movie set have some merit. This video was among my YouTube offerings, I did not search the topic.

Kid hockey player wins weed

Quinn Patrick, 10 hours ago: The Post Millenial

Jody Brimacombe: Posted 12 hours ago: Fresh Daily

A young hockey player in Canada got more than he bargained for after winning a chocolate basket that contained cannabis.  

The eight-year-old boy — a player at Dawson Creek Minor Hockey in British Columbia — was participating in a weekend tournament when the incident occurred. 

Speaking with CTV News, the boy's grandfather Keith Redl said, "each team is usually responsible for putting a gift basket or prize package together with a minimum value of $50."

Cited

Redl's grandson used his $10 worth of raffle tickets to bid on a basket valued at $200 and filled with various kinds of chocolate, unaware that the sweets actually contained cannabis.

Cited

As you might expect, Redl — a retired police officer — wasn't pleased. He told media, "There is no place for drugs at a child's hockey tournament." It seems that other Canadians would agree. However, some argued that it wasn't fair to blame the Dawson Creek Minor Hockey Association.

Cited

Dawson Creek Minor Hockey Association said in a statement to CTV News that the prize was clearly marked as for adults. "The raffle winner was told the basket contained cannabis products and was given the option of not accepting the prize," the statement said, referring to Redl’s adult son, who picked up the basket. "The winner chose to take the prize, their identification was checked to ensure they were of legal age (19+), and the donor then delivered the basket to the winners."

I suppose that there is not a heck of a lot to do up in Dawson Creek, event wise (I do not smoke anything or related), but even so, as the hockey association event was family-friendly, this prize demonstrated a lack of creativity. It would have been good to have a prize (s) for adults and their children.

Perhaps a trip to Disneyland Park would be too expensive and a trip to Prince George not that interesting (been there).

A prize (s) Vancouver Canucks related might have been a good idea...
