But it permits outdoor social gatherings of up to 12 people right now.

And it permits protests of up to 100 people right now.

You are joking, but they literally should have a Sunday worship protest in the church parking lot.

some hasidics in NY put up a Black Lives Matter sign so the popo would leave them alone.

Personally, I like the idea of rioters/protesters congregating in very large, shouting masses; real shame when the tear gas makes ‘em take off the masks, too.

Doesn't say who or what you should protest against, does it?

How about SATAN?

I can eat dinner with my wife in many restaurants, shop at
Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, Ace. We can get our hair cut, talk to my neighbors on while walking on our street.

However, I can not go to Church with my wife.

We still can’t go to the church grounds and sit on the outside benches to talk to our church friends. We could be arrested and sent to jail.

However, we can go out and protest the evil Trump by ourselves on in groups.

We still can not go to our church for anything.

A political cartoon from last month that now seems ironic.

I was looking for the one featuring a church service with a couple of protest banners so they could qualify as an essential service, but I couldn't find that one.

In my area churches were allowed to reopen in late May.

My bishop sent out guidelines. They said that attendance must be limited to 33% of capacity, and gave as an example a church which could hold 300 people would only be allowed to have 75 in attendance.

Someone must have flunked grade school math.

A group of Hasidic kids were having some kind of party at their temple in Brooklyn and they put up a sign saying “Protesting the death of George Floyd” so that the police wouldn’t bother them. LOL!

Well, nobody ever said you had to be smart to be a bishop...but maybe that accounts for the miserable state of church finances? Yeah, that’s it, poor math skills...LOL!

We are gathered together here in the sight of God to protest SATAN! We protest the evil he brings. We protest the temptation and envy which springs up amongst the looters and rioters. We protest the violence and anger of those who turn protests into riots! We PROTEST! ... AMEN!

Don't forget that choirs are not allowed since forceful singing can spray virus droplets 50’ or more.

How can the Babylon Bee compete with reality anymore?
