‘Religious Institutions Have Been a Problem’: Andrew Cuomo Threatens to Shut Down Churches, Synagogues
The Stream ^ | 1/6/20 | Margaret Mary Olahan

Posted on 10/06/2020 6:03:51 PM PDT by marshmallow

Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo threatened Monday to close down religious institutions, specifically Jewish synagogues, if they do not follow his coronavirus restrictions.

“We know religious institutions have been a problem,” Cuomo said at a Monday press conference. “We know mass gatherings are the super spreader events. We know there have been mass gatherings going on in concert with religious institutions in these communities for weeks. For weeks.”

“I don’t mean little violations,” he continued. “I’m talking about, you’re only supposed to have 50 outdoors, they had 1,000.”

The governor referred to pictures from “the past couple of weeks,” calling the pictures “emblematic” of the mass religious gatherings occurring during the pandemic.

It appears that the photos that Cuomo referred to are from 2006 and show the funeral of Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum, according to Jewish Insider’s Jacob Kornbluh. Cuomo’s office did not immediately respond to a press inquiry regarding the photos.

Cuomo said that he understood that closing down religious institutions can lead to “uncomfortable” situations, but that he will tell the Orthodox community on Tuesday: “If you’re not willing to live with these rules, then I’m going to close the synagogues.”

“I have had a 30-year relationship with the Orthodox community,” he added.

“It goes back to my father. I have a very close personal relationship with them. This is the last thing I want to do, forget the politics, I don’t care about that anymore. Personally, I don’t want to have this conversation. It’s a difficult conversation. And you’re right on the line of government intrusion on religion. So it’s hard.”

The demon possessed granny killer has a major problem with any institution that is against baby killing, values morals, ethics, honesty, etc.

The DOJ has held that states cannot suppress 4th amendment rights unequally so if NY allows rioting or other civil disturbances it cannot focus emergency orders on religious gatherings.

I heard there is historical precedence in Europe of the use of the Star of David. its there own religious symbol all ready so I don’t think they would mind that much...while were at it we can set up there very own Quarantine camp where we can isolate all of them so that we don’t have to hear them complain about how anti Semitic the New York mayors office is.

Orthodox Jews tend to vote for Republicans, if they have a choice, AFAIK...

“I will be like the Most High” (Isaiah 14:14). ... Quis ut Deus

This verse is often attributed to Satan, but we know later in this chapter that it is spoken by a man (:16).

In the NT, 2 Thessalonians 2:2,3, another man exalts himself as God ("ut Deus"), the antichrist.

What Cuomo and other Dem governors are doing is embracing the spirit of antichrist. They are little sons of perdition.

Let’s see Andy.
Kill off those who are on Medicare in your state to save money.
Shut down them Jews and Christian sites of worship.
Not heard of you shutting down Mosques though.
And disparage the Donald for not giving your overspending state money to dig you out of the money pit.
Hey Andy, your and Fredo can go pound sand.

It is time for all Bible believing Christians to get out as soon as possible.

If he doesn’t repent, the judgment against him and his hacks and flacks will be exceptionally severe.

Read my tagline.
