A few days ago, I think Friday, Tucker Carlson was discussing the crackdown by police in some states arresting Christians getting together, separated in cars meeting in a parking lot to have prayer meetings or church services.
Well, okay, that could be argued to be for their own protection.
As in the example of one woman in South Korea who refused Covid-19 testing in February, and then went to a church meeting, and South Korean authorities think this one woman infected 1,000 people in South Korea's outbreak.
My concern is, there are people on the Democrat/Left who are openly hostile toward Christianity, undermine religious freedom at every possible opportunity, and could use this precedent to maliciously suppress religious freedom in the U.S. in other ways going forward.
Another concern is that some businesses are considered "essential", such as food supermarkets, gas stations, pharmacy/drugstores, and... liquor stores.
Buying liquor is an "essential" service?
But access to spiritual guidance about redemption and the afterlife, at a time when one in 50 people who contract the Covid-19 virus are dying, is not considered an important or essential service?
Liquor sales are up over 50% since this pandemic began. It could be argued as a way for the alcohol-dependent to self-medicate away the stress. But it should also be pointed out that alcohol consumption lowers immunity and possibly increases the likelihood of contracting the virus. But is ironically labelled an "essential' service during a nationwide shutdown to contain the virus' spread.
