It turns out the Coronavirus is the 100th thesis that Martin Luther needed to annihilate the church as mediator between man and God

At the same time this is hardly the first plague the Catholic Church went through, and they still insist on everyone sharing a drink in confined spaces.

Also, who exactly is the Chosen One in the Lord of the Rings?

Because it sure as gently caress isn't Frodo, the guy who spends the last third of the story barely conscious and then when it comes to it can't do the one thing he was supposed to do.

Aragorn's got a lot of destiny and poo poo I guess? Even then he's last main act in the war is to divert Sauron's attention.

Is this a controversial take? People are still moving, getting evicted, having to take care of family, shared custody arrangements, etc.

There's people out in my neighborhood that yell at people out walking their dogs a couple blocks away from their houses. Most everyone's doing their best, and wannabe cops and hall monitors out there aren't helping.

my next door neighbor moved out yesterday and it looked like she was going back to her parents house. it doesn't seem controversial to me at all, lots of people will be doing that soon...

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Frodo isn't a chosen one he's just some dickweed who inherited a lovely ring from his rich douche uncle and then had to deal with a bunch of stupid bullshit because of it. Aragorn is a hereditary monarch which is a real thing and different from a chosen one.
