I would attend if the Pastor opened the doors. I would not sign a sign up sheet.

Make no mistake...

This is about preventing churches from being centers of political conversation, activism, and rallying for the 2020 election.

This is about disenfranchising those people who "cling to their guns and their Bibles."

I am shocked there isn’t more resistance to this, from the church hierarchies as well as the members.

You can’t close down churches for a year for any reason. It appears they have no more regard for the first amendment than the second.

I’ve talked with quite a few people the last few days. It’s unanimous.

I live about 2 miles (as the crow flies) from Illinois. The contrast between a Republican-led state and a dem-led state is pretty stark. Here in MO, we’ve been encouraged to do social distancing, and masks are encouraged, but never required. Churches and restaurants can open if they want to—most, again are keeping people a few feet from each other. Across the river, even though most of the Wuhan virus cases (a racist statement according to San Antonio TX city gov’t) are in the Chicago area, the whole state remains on lockdown. I think that a lot of people are coming around to your way of thinking...including the language.

Is Prickster going honey stand in the doorway blocking the entrance to the church the way Wallace blocked the school in Alabama decades ago?

Apparently some are using Romans 13 to tell the flock if the government tells you to turn in your guns and you don’t.............you’re going to hell.

It's interesting how Christians will justify different sides of an issue or cause using different scriptures. What comes to mind?

Pro-British vs pro-independence Christian colonists during the Revolutionary war. Pro-secession vs pro-union American Christians during the Civil war.

My guess is that similar Romans 13 type arguments existed among 1st century Christian Jews living under Roman rule in Israel.

Harry Truman is said to have referred to a prominent pol or two with “the son-of-a-bitch is no good.”
