Stupidity rampant in NM megachurches.

https://www.kob.com/albuquerque-news/albuquerque-megachurches-fined-5k-for-violating-public-health-orders/5962802/

"ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Legacy Church and Calvary Church are both facing $5,000 fines for violating the state's public health order.

Videos and photos posted online have gone viral — showing hundreds gathered at both churches during Christmas Eve services with almost no masks in sight."

No one should be the least bit surprised anymore at this behavior. Churches are pestholes.

More than one church too who knows how many met in other churches with no media posts

Legacy Church how did you get the message from above that this was a good thing to do ?
or to not wear masks ?

“We have taken the pandemic seriously from the start, and have prudent measures in place. But when governments exceed their constitutional authority and contradict what we are called on by God to do, we answer first to His authority.”

Nothing about education, theology. No women.

It's another Assembies of God (pentecostal) franchise in stealth mode.
