Most Freepers are religious. Almost all of those religions/denominations, when they interpret the Bible, call for at least Christian fellowship. For Catholics and Anglicans communion with God is a public event.
The point is that the atheist left has found something, a lockdown, that weakens faith. Individuals may say that their faith is as strong now as it was before Coronavirus. But in aggregate this is terrible for the faithful. The reason is that, in many cases, their own religious leaders are saying the benefit that God provides by having people get together at Church/Mass are being outweighed by protecting people from a stupid Wuhan Flu. If religious leaders think so little of church attendance then many will either fall away or fail to join.
In ancient Roman times Christian leaders were very willing to expose Christians to possible death by worshipping God. Where are the Christian leaders willing to do the same now?
Ping. Freepmail Impimp to go on the ping list.
Good points. Id say our faith in the Lord might not have been weakened, but our trust in church leadership - the little trust that was left - has been utterly destroyed.
The churches are tripping all over themselves trying to prove how obedient they are to the State, even to the point of imposing harsher restrictions than does the State.
My church will have services on Sunday. Four spaces between family units!
The puzzle of Romans 13 is that it was written in a high time of Christian martyrdom.
Any freepers pay attention to the effects of CV other than death?

The murder rate in Democrat controlled states is higher than that in Republican controlled states. Therefore, people should be prohibited from voting for Democrats. After all, if it saves just one life...

Yea, but does it?
If religious leaders think so little of church attendance then many will either fall away or fail to join.
Then, what you're saying, is religious 'leaders' provide people with faith?
Are you sure that's how it works?
