wasn't Jesus the most liberal, commie, anti-establishment kinda guy? he was totally against organized religion. why do you guys feel the need for a monolithic, organized religion to tell you what to do all the time?

the bible doesn't say anything about a physical church. the church is not the building. worshipping god doesn't necessitate going into a building or gathering with "x" number of people.

the first amendment doesn't say anything about a church building either, nor does it discuss gathering among people to worship

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

show me where congress made a law respecting establishment of a religion here. or where it prevented people from exercising their religion.

it never happened. you guys are freaking out over nothing. yell into the sky some more.

If only fellow church goers could get infected, it would be no big deal. The whinging malcontents just cant understand the concept of contagion.

Because this:

A choir decided to go ahead with rehearsal. Now dozens of members have COVID-19 and two are dead

The deadly outbreak among members of a choir has stunned health officials, who have concluded that the virus was almost certainly transmitted through the air from one or more people without symptoms.

Sudden withdrawal from alcohol can be fatal to people with a physical addiction to it

[grapedrink]

This. Then those people will direct that energy towards the government. Which is why governments around the world subsidize alcohol and ban substances that make you think critically.

by going outside you assume the risk

maybe someone could put a warning label on every telephone pole

here's what 9th said re: church gatherings and CA prohibition on same:

We conclude that appellants have not demonstrated a sufficient likelihood of success on appeal. Where state action does not “infringe upon or restrict practices because of their religious motivation” and does not “in a selective manner impose burdens only on conduct motivated by religious belief,” it does not violate the First Amendment. See Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. City of Hialeah, 508 U.S. 520, 533, 543 (1993). We’re dealing here with a highly contagious and often fatal disease for which there presently is no known cure. In the words of Justice Robert Jackson, if a “[c]ourt does not temper its doctrinaire logic with a little practical wisdom, it will convert the constitutional Bill of Rights into a suicide pact.” Terminiello v. City of Chicago, 337 U.S. 1, 37 (1949) (Jackson, J., dissenting).
