    OK. Since you are perfect and can use absolutely no improvement. Not a problem.

    Never said that. But feel free to continue claiming something I’ve never said. Carry on

    I damn near had a heat stroke yesterday, helping set up a tent at a food bank. If only a petty tyrant of a Gov. could have "saved" me...

    You said I made your point. The only way a person could not benefit from improvement is if they are perfect to start with. They go to church because they believe they can benefit from improvement.

    I need a further explanation of how I made your point.

    In other words, you need no help being perfect because you can do it all by yourself.

    It is their right to feel differently. Maybe you should work on tolerance.

    There a whole lot of folks who are perfectly fine with government telling them how to live their lives, what’s the difference?

    Ironically one can almost hear leftist politicians shrieking for their public relations guys and gals to copy that and get it out there on signs and billboards for the Dem Party since it perfectly encapsulates their presidential election approach for 2020.

    It works better if you stick your fingers in your ears when you say this.

    Stamping your feet might add an extra dollop of denial as well

    You apparently feel no need to get advise from someone else on self improvement. They do feel the need. They have just as much right to seek that help from a church as you do not to seek it from anyone. Tolerance is the key.

    You mean like the tolerance many religious people have towards those who aren’t religious? Or how tolerant they are in regards to women having a right to make choices about their own body? Ha...that’s funny stuff

    I will let it go as being basically true. However, that is quite a bit different from not tolerating how they choose to improve themselves. Basically, choosing to get help from someone else as opposed to trying to do it all by themselves. I can't imagine condemning someone for that.

    I never condemned anyone. I just merely pointed out religious people have a need to be preached to on how to live their life.

    I am sure you will agree that it was a brilliant move on the president's part. I can walk through the aisles 2" from 500 other shoppers or stand in line at a Home Depot, Walmart, Target, or any number of other big box retailers since all this foolishness began but attending a church service, even seated in my own car in a parking lot is an arrestable offense is asinine.
    Thank you Mr. President,
    MAGA

    How is that condemning them? It’s the truth. I’m just stating a fact

    "Clearly can't think for themselves" is a fact. I found it offensive. Choosing to seek help is not the same as not being able to think for themselves.

    The Branch Covidians have no use for the constitution, it’s not enough that they cower in fear, they want the rest of us to do the same. History is full of two bit dictators who’ve suspended the rights of people in the name of public safety.

    its ok to close churches as long as they are not being uniquely targeted.

    all assemblies of 10 or more persons are being kept closed in NY

    Ya right, I don't believe this is being enforced at every denomination in New York, no way!
