This is something that I feel was amusing in a black humor sort of way....Covid and churches that decided to remain open during Covid. Firstly, to get something out of the way, Covid was, and still is despite the easing of restrictions, a dangerous disease. People are still dying of it, though not in as great numbers as a few years ago. Yet for some reason some ministers thought it would be a great idea to defy local orders/laws and hold services as per pre-pandemic customs. Apparently they didn't anything about this was immoral or improper in any way. Would they do this if there was serious mould or asbestos in their church? Probably not, but it was ok for the parishioners to risk a serious respiratory illness. www2.cbn.com/news/us/how-church-defied-pandemic-trends-and-saw-boom-nearly-1000-salvationswww.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/gracelife-church-edmonton-covid-1.5977931

I was checking back to see how people voted or responded to my poll and remarks. No one has replied as of me writing this, but apparently there are four votes, three Nos and one Yes.
I wonder who the yes vote was and why they didn't explain themselves. People have been vocal about their thoughts on my posts, but have been oddly silent on this one. Was it something they truly believed or were they just answering yes out of spite?
Churches should never be given any special exemption on this - Covid doesn't care if you are in a church. Didn't Jesus say to Satan (while he was in the desert before Jesus began preaching) that God should never be used to show off?
Somehow I don't think the person who voted yes will respond.

If Covid doesn't care if you're in a church, why did it care about racial justice and police reform for months on end?

Wow. Only one reply - by someone who missed the point completely.

The point is everybody was told indoors or out, only groups of up to 10 were allowed, even taking precautions, anything else was just too dangerous and would infect too many people. An estimated 50,000-80,000 people participated in the 2020 protests and we were told none of them got Covid. Why would churchgoers be more at risk than they were then?
