Let the Asteroid Come

I heard that an asteroid is going to smash into the Earth. Just like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. Fine with me.

Obviously it’s God’s plan.

Yes, I read the Bible. Yes, I remember that part about the rainbow being God’s covenant that he would never try to wipe out humanity or destroy the Earth again. I don’t buy it. I choose to emphasize the parts that I want to and ignore the parts that don’t fit my argument.

I know they have some big scientific plan to divert this asteroid, send it off into space so it doesn’t smash into the Earth. But nobody asked me for my permission.

I am not okay with other people getting together without my consent and trying to use science on things.

I don’t understand it and I object to anyone doing a process that big and expensive without making it totally clear what’s going on.

What if this asteroid gets smashed into tiny particles that get into my lungs? What if it’s radioactive? What if it causes respiratory conditions in people? What about my pets?

I don’t want anyone doing anything irreversible until we know more about the long-term effects.

What if trying to get rid of the asteroid that is going to smash into the Earth causes worse problems than an asteroid smashing into the Earth? We can’t possibly know that!

I mean, okay, almost all living creatures on Earth became extinct the last time this happened, but maybe we’re better off. The dinosaurs are gone and now we’re here. Maybe now we’re the dinosaurs and we’re supposed to be erased to make room for whatever comes next.

All part of God’s plan, right?

I don’t know, I’m just speculating.

All I know is this whole scenario is stressing me out. I need a break. I need there to be a few no-news months so I can find some peace of mind. It’s so unfair for there to constantly be one problem after another.

I’m still not over the last one. Stupid coronavirus. I heard that 54 million Americans have had the COVID-19 vaccine. They’re trying to claim that all those people are fine and cases are dropping. It’s like they’re trying to make us believe that vaccines are safe and effective and that there’s actually a chance we can be vaccinated into herd immunity.

They’re winning!

This upsets me so much. Now what are we going to do? They’re never going to stop. They’re going to keep trying to convince people to get the flu shut, and the measles vaccine, and shingles, and who knows what else? Malaria? Lyme disease? It makes me so crazy. Like they can somehow eliminate every disease on Earth. Pfft. Whatever.

Someone was trying to make this connection between vitamins and vaccines, like the same scientific processes that proved that we need vitamins are also used to test vaccine efficacy. Okay, no way. If it’s an established fact then it does’t count as science anymore.

Just stop. Stop trying to convince me that science is capable of doing good things and helping people. I don’t trust it and I never will.

Now bring on the asteroid. I could sure use a break. At least an asteroid colliding with the Earth is something I can understand.
