Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced new coronavirus restrictions Thursday and urged people of faith to stay out of their churches during the Christmas season.
“This year, we need to think about what is truly the most important thing. Is it the worship or the building?” Northam said at a press conference. “For me, God is wherever you are. You don’t have to sit in the church pew for God to hear your prayers.”
He urged faith leaders to “lead the way” and “set an example” for their communities.

C’mon Virginia......play out the last scene from the Grinch who stole Christmas.
And he did hear a sound rising over the snow.
It started in low, then it started to grow.
But this sound wasn’t sad!
Why, this sound sounded glad!
Every Who down in Whoville, the tall and the small,
Was singing without any presents at all!
He hadn’t stopped Christmas from coming! It came!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!
And the Grinch, with his grinch feet ice-cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling. “How could it be so?
It came without ribbons! It came without tags!
It came without packages, boxes, or bags!”
He puzzled and puzzled till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before.
Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store.
Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more!
So gather together in front of your church and sing every Christmas song there is. And for the lily livered pastors, phooey on them. Just have the congregation gather.
The SCOTUS did just settle this “hash”. And Gov Dumbass addresses that.
Friggin’ Northam doesn’t even understand the purpose of a church building as a place to “congregate,” as in “congregation.” An in person church service is for support and fellowship, to encourage and to plan. It is not the same watching it on TV, and no way you can Zoom a real church service.
…17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector. 18Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.…

That’s right. God is in the abortifactory where you are killing the just-born baby.
Is a sarcasm tag necessary?
Not true for Catholics, who receive the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ at Mass!
What’s sad is that next year Northam will be succeeded by a similar democrat governor thanks to the incompetent RINO leadership of the Virginia Republican Party
We also don’t have to pay taxes for government to know we wish them well. :)

“For me”
That’s his judgement - his personal faith.
Nothing less than fiat rule.
Acts 5:40 40 ... when they had called for the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name.
Amen

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
