California Bans Singing in Church
Breitbart ^ | 7/2/2020 | Joel B. Pollack

Posted on 07/03/2020 7:03:41 AM PDT by 444Flyer

"The State of California has banned singing in any indoor religious services, even with masks on, under new guidelines issued by the Department of Public Health to control the spread of the coronavirus.

The new guidelines state (emphasis added):

Even with adherence to physical distancing, convening in a congregational setting of multiple different households to practice a personal faith carries a relatively higher risk for widespread transmission of the COVID-19 virus, and may result in increased rates of infection, hospitalization, and death, especially among more vulnerable populations. In particular, activities such as singing and chanting negate the risk- reduction achieved through six feet of physical distancing.

*Places of worship must therefore discontinue singing and chanting activities and limit indoor attendance to 25% of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower. Local Health Officers are advised to consider appropriate limitations on outdoor attendance capacities, factoring their jurisdiction’s key COVID- 19 health indicators. At a minimum, outdoor attendance should be limited naturally through implementation of strict physical distancing measures of a minimum of six feet between attendees from different households, in addition to other relevant protocols within this document.

Rioting , mayhem, arson, and tearing down statues is okay, but singing in church is verboten.

How the hell does any of this make sense?

This is almost enough to get me to go back to church.

But rioting while screaming “F@ck the police!” at the top of your lungs is A-OK.

Liberals don’t like black churches either, unless they are cults that pass out poisoned kool-aid.

Luke 19:39-40 New International Version (NIV)

39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”

40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

This ban might be okay, if it could be applied selectively.

But rioting and screaming are protected under the U.S. Constitution whereas singing church hymns .... well, you get the point! (As religious as Nancy Pelosi declares repeatedly she is, you’d think she’d be furious at her nephew, Little Gavin ... but I’ll bet she’s not!)

Meanwhile, at Grace Baptist Church in Troy NY, a Black Family Has To Be Escorted Through ‘Peaceful’ BLM ‘Protest’ To Attend Church. Remember that only 1 out of 6 members of BLM are black.

And this reminded me of some old photos from Little Rock, so like the MSM, I reused them.

This sounds like the work of the “Blue Meanies”! I am normally the last one to say that the Beatles were right about anything, but it fits too well.

These Control Freaks just can’t help themselves! They fear porn weak, fearful people into supporting their idiotic (masks!) rules. Codependency.

Notice, Godless and Communist loving politicians in CA can spew all the polluted air they want!

“Communism is not love. Communism is a hammer which we use to crush the enemy.”-Mao Zedong

“Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity. … In the new order, Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society.”-Antonio Gramsci

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters.”-Antonio Gramsci

Good. If it applies to him he won’t be making any new pronouncements.
