Seem like a silly question, but I do need your advice. My sister in law is a very fervent Catholic. She asks us not to take flu shot or covid vaccine because there are chips inside. The chips represent Satan and we will go to Hell if we receive those injections.
During the pandemic, there are lots of online resources for Mass and Prayers. Due to busy schedule, we don’t always have to actively participate but still want to listen to His words. Sometimes we listened to these resources while doing other things, is it considered disrespectful to passively listen to these resources?
God created angels. Devils are fallen angels. That means God created devils? If God is all good and know all, how can He created something so evil? We were told that human beings have free will to choose good or bad. But angels don’t have this option, do they?
教徒,都在神蔭庇下得到安慰。我一向自以為用正氣勇往直前,面對疾苦困厄也能樂觀面對。但如今病毒橫行,生靈塗炭。令我既悲且慨,無語問蒼天:天地不仁,以萬物為芻狗。上主怎可以如此考驗(懲罰)人類呢?怎樣由祂取得正能量?
