Religion "Churches are an essential business"

I feel the same way about you.

Get a room.

Get a room.

Not sure how much longer that will be permitted.

They are socially distancing.

...This is true...otherwise, wouldn't it be referred to as "antisocial distancing"?

Despite growing up in total Catholic immersion (or maybe because of it) I have never understood the need some people have to be inside a building surrounded by other people before they can pray....or before their prayers can be “valid”. Yes, I get the “sense of community” but I personally have always found the presence of a crowd to be an intrusion on my inner thoughts and prayers. I’m not there to be sociable, I’m there to talk to God (when I actually DO go. But then, I’m always taking to him.....or that’s my excuse). I mean, community can be found anywhere. And so can God......I respect the faiths of others but it’s no excuse for acting like petulant, self centered toddlers......Call me judgmental, but it just seems like gambling with the health and lives of others for your own self aggrandizement is the opposite of “Christianity” in general.....

Whomever may call you that..... I’d have to say that you have fantastic judgement!

Truer words haven’t been spoken!

I literally said what troubles me is the people just snark and say “It’s always been this way” or something of the sort. But I do know what you’re saying about religion when the country was founded. I personally give no fucks. They also wore goofy clothes, used leaches to extract bad humors, and had slaves. That’s kind of my point: it’s time to move on.

I had moral in quotes. Much of religious right believes things I find immoral and ridiculous. As do most of us, even those that are religious. The moral pushed by people, THE people, might not suit Wyoming or rural Oregon, but they suit the urban centers just fine. Where you say overreach, I say “overreach.” (We’ve come full circle.) The government is not doing enough for people, this giving the religious right this false currency of benevolence.

And I think Karens bother everyone. You can still be cool and just, without being officious. But going the other way and diving headlong into the Dark Ages is inexcusable. There are many reasons but zero excuses for what is happening to us in this country.

SlyPokerDog is a whore.

Oh okay then. Guess you can’t tax churches because they aren’t public? Gotcha

I've already explained why it's morally reprehensible to tax most churches and it had nothing to do with stock. Did you forget?
