A conservative law firm is calling a new order in Kansas City, Missouri, "Nazi-like" for requiring churches to "surveil, track, and spy" on anyone who attends an in-person service.
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas issued the 10/10/10 rule in effect May 5, ordering that nonessential businesses, like churches, can have 10 people inside and 50 people outside as long as they practice social distancing. They also must record the information of anyone who spends more than 10 minutes inside.
In addition, nonessential businesses can operate at 10 percent maximum capacity.
The order states that by recording names and contact information, the health department will be able to more quickly trace, test, and isolate individuals who may have been exposed to COVID-19. Anyone who doesn't provide their information won't be allowed in.
Our goal isnt to see what everyone is doing and be Big Brother, Lucas said, according to FOX 4, but that's not how many in the community see it.

My (huge)—15K people attend over 5 campuses—church purposefully does not or offer “membership” or take attendance. Hasn’t for 25 years. Now I see why. (Of course they have email lists though, for those who choose to provide the church that info.)
Churches are to be welcoming to all.

Why not for Wal-Marts too?
Start with this list and go from there:
If you’re a member of a church, they have a registry. Whether they give it to the govt is another thing. The Commie mayor is wanting you to sign in as you enter. It’s blatantly unconstitutional without a doubt, citizens are supposed to be free to move about, assemble, and even protest the communists.
Catholic churches don’t keep a list, but if they initiated one I would refuse to attend or present falsified info. Virus transmission is so variable and nowhere near quantifiable that it would prove nothing even if it was kosher to keep attendance. I’m convinced that half the data we have is bogus.
He is anti-Catholic, anti-Christian. He needs to be voted out of office.
Fight for religious freedom, FReepers!
Don’t forget the American Nazi was an actual group right before WWII. Communists/Socialists have been infiltrating/ “organizing” in the USA since 1917(maybe before that).
If you are ever in Poland, visit Auschwitz.
Well said Bump!
we just want to isolate you as quietly and humanely as possible.
I am NOT defending Lucas, but...
...because the order applies across the board to ALL commercial establishments and does not single out churches for unique treatment this will, unfortunately, pass Constitutional muster.
The USDOJ gets involved when churches are treated more severely. I doubt that they can touch this.
Bkmk
Saying it is only about “who MIGHT BE EXPOSED” is like saying guilty until proven innocent. The reverse argument should be stated as “You, the government, prove I have been exposed” and then you can have my information. Until then my business is not your business.
If it's anything like mine, most folks to register attendance in some way. We have cards that are handed out with the order of service, that many folks put in the offering plate because they have their tithe set up as an autodraft.
You're not from around here, are you?
Never seen such a thing in my church!
The mayor knows this, this is his bid to appease Moloch.
[ Kansas City mayor defends Nazi-like policy registering people attending church ]
He’s a Democrat. Of course he doubled-down on Nazi-like policies. It’s what Democrats do.
[Register/ID church goers...but not voters? hmmm...]
Democrats: Spirit of antichrist, especially since 2008.
You are correct about both
