You raise interesting points. Thank you!

I’m not sure “habeas corpus” is the expression you’re looking for. But aside from that, so far as I know, the government has NOT told churches not to meet. Some are voluntarily suspending services as a precaution, which falls under free will.

Even if my church were shut down, it wouldn’t prevent me from exercising my freedom of religion. I can pray anywhere, any time. I understand that others might not feel that way. Certainly a shutdown would have an impact. No communion. In both senses of the word.

Another factor is that it’s “temporary.” Yeah, that’s a very scary word when the government uses it. The income tax was “temporary”. But I am fairly confident that in the current situation, many measures being taken are truly temporary and not an excuse to impose new permanent restrictions or burdens on us.

I see all of this as the Q plan unfolding. If Q is, as I think most likely, benevolent and looking out for OUR best interests, then all of this is a good thing. If I’m wrong and Q is not benevolent, then we are all screwed. It would be very difficult to make a good argument for Q as evil.

Bottom line: I’m not worried about the exercise of religion. I miss church when I’m ill, and it’s not a catastrophe. I see this as similar. I’ll reassess that position in another 30 days unless something happens to change my mind before then.

Praise for Trump on CNN? Wow.

Dana Bash: President Trump “is being the kind of leader that people need.. in times of crisis and uncertainty.”
