(15,018 posts)...I'd happily say go for it, but they'll get innocent people killed or sickened and burden our already-overburdened medical system while they're at it.
Couldn't they just shoot themselves and make it simple?

5,000 cases / 200+ deaths in Orleans Parish alone.
Louisiana has a plenty serious coronavirus problem without churches making it worse.......

Fools, who long for the day of the Lord! Why should you want the day of the Lord? It will be darkness, not light, as if someone fled from a lion and met a bear, or went into his house to rest a hand against the wall and was bitten by a snake. Will not the day of the Lord be darkness not light, a gloom without brightness?
I hate and despise your festivals. I take no delight in your solemn gatherings. Offer me your offerings? I will neither accept nor see them. Go away with your noisy songs! I will not listen to your melodies. No! let justice run down like water and goodness like an ever-flowing stream

(2,227 posts)Let's all defy the undeniable LOGIC of space distancing to prevent COVID-19 infection, to show our support for god's leader here on earth, you know, the self-proclaimed, and PROUD, El Numero Uno, Grabber of Pussies!!!
Because, you know, HE is a Man of GOD. (Verily, verily, so saith the cult members.) Is there a commandment he has NOT broken?
I hope this is the beginning of the end of all organized religion, especially christianity and islam, the two who, despite alleged good intentions, are mostly used for the blatant promotion of hate.
Has there NOT also been a world wide rise in hate, fueled by the rise in right-wing backed political movements?
Unfortunately we can't control what thoughts exist between the two ears of any one person (the ONLY place any god CAN exist).
God is man-made, to serve MAN'S purpose.
As I have posted before, no guidance whatsoever is needed to "treat your fellow man as you would like to be treated". The rest is nothing but power, control and financial gain manipulation tactics. (Just how much money is in the coffers of the "organized" religions? Including all the "mega-churches"? Money begets POWER, which begets POLITICS, which begets MANIPULATION and CONTROL. And GOD is served.)

(54,055 posts)General José Millán Astray, the Fascist who proudly yelled "¡Viva la muerte (Long live death)! " at a gathering at the University of Salamanca after the start of the Spanish Civil War.
Long live death, and death to intelligence--the Falangist (Fascist) mottoes of Hitler's and Mussolini's Spanish pals--and, of course, of today's Republicans.
Well, come to think of it, if these so-called "Christians" are going off on a "¡Viva la muerte!" kick, far be it from me to keep them from their goal.
