Good morning this Good Friday 

Will people take God and Faith more seriously now because of the COVID-19?

I think people's faith and spiritual life will stay the same in the long run. The emotions of the time may surge, but over time people will gravitate back to whatever their normal is.

No. Probably take it less seriously honestly.

Why would it? Oh, God gave us the CV, so I love him more! Lol.

However, when I see some states playing the "church IS essential!" card, it does make me feel like more of a responsible adult even if I do struggle big-time with staying at home, so there is one positive about faith.

There's a nutty ass pastor in Louisiana planning a 1,000 strong Easter service.  Instead of guiding his flick in the safest way, he uses this as an opportunity to make a name for himself.

Maybe in rural areas with more older folks. But, I doubt it will be a massive at large flocking to the faith.

Seem like the "No's" have no explanation for their answer... wonder why

I haven't answered yet, but mine would be No. I can only speak for myself, but I am not a man of faith and don't see that changing. Why? Because I haven't needed faith to get me through anything in the past so I don't see a scenario where I will need it in the future.

I am open to the idea that there may be a God, but I don't need to define myself by my belief in a God.

Why does God get credit for the good things, but not the bad? If he cured the disease, did he not also create it? (no snark, serious question)

You simply gave a "yes/no" question with no request to explain why you picked your answer?

Belly’s troll game with religion is on par with QO and politics.

I'll give him one just so he can get bent out of shape and insult us over his dumbass loaded question.

No -- people are not going to take faith/God more seriously after this because religion is a farce.

I won't begrudge someone for using religion to cope with the realities of life. Whatever works for you, knock yourself out. There does tend to be a lot of hypocrisy, though, which bugs me.

If there is one thing this pandemic has done for religion, is it allows social media'ers to show everyone how great of (insert religion) they are by posting links of services they are supposedly watching and paying close attention to.  All the while probably scrolling through hott memes.

No

When this is over, I look for a downturn in religion.

My view is that organized religion is the biggest scam in the history of humanity.

I'm also a non-believer.

Hope this helps.
