This is an issue with religions all over the world, it seems.

https://www.cfr.org/in-brief/how-are...ng-coronavirus

Most religions claim that their god(s) created them and that life is sacred. One would think that they'd agree that their creator gave them a brain, intending for them to be used; and that their creator would prefer followers to temporarily practice at home in order to not risk their or others' lives.

But I guess to many religious people, their claim to value life is nothing but cheap talk.

here I was sure someone was updating us on yesterday's church services, and not just repeating week(s) old stuff.

I wish authorities would’ve waited until the last person entered and then barricaded the doors shut. A-holes.

I agree.


When a person's behavior is reckless to the point of putting other people's health and lives at risk, I believe that person's "rights" should be subordinate to the collective rights of the many.

Absolutely. They want to be at church so badly they're happy to risk others' lives, then keep them there.

After all, "God will provide", so it isn't like they'll need to venture out into the sinful secular world for any reason.

The constant braindead actions carried out by Floridians make it easier and easier to understand how DeSantis got elected.

Oh, Florida.
