Trump is telling all his "Christian" followers to go and crowd into churches across the land on Easter Sunday..........WHAT?????????????

To all church goers who follow Trumps recommendation, I suggest you recite, in unison, the following Psalm first thing:

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil................

The statistics on the virus, by the time Easter comes, should be enough to shock even them.......then again, you never know.....
