Mississippi church goers sitting in their cars given 500 dollar tickets.

[Baron]

Not right. Not constitutional.

Church members get $500 tickets for sitting in their vehicles with windows closed during radio service in church parking lot | Blaze Media

'It's all about trying to save lives,' the mayor said of his COVID-19 social distancing executive order

www.theblaze.com

Who invented Covid-19 panic?
DEMONrats & Chinese commies.
Both are servants of Satan.
Do you believe Satan loves when folks go in churches?
Psychopathic lefts and MS presstitutes want:

1. Destroy western industry completely
2. Annihilate Christianity
3. Through coming Corona 'vaccination' kill 90% of humanity

Wow, you're truly insane. Personally, I would like to annihilate Christianity, but I'm definitely not in favor of the other two. But just for fun, why would anyone want to destroy western industry AND kill 90% of humanity? Just curious.

NWO

Why would you drive to a church parking lot to listen to a pastor on the radio?

You live in a cave boyo.....there is now a thing called social distancing due to the chinese virus...read up on dat and git back here wid us.

Their radio only works in the parking lot?

Now I perceive you might be a jester hehheh

Anyhow if you are not just being a clown.....they are assembling together for a church service but doing it in a social distancing manner.....which still allows them to see and wave at each other etc. and also allows the church to pass the donations plate around.

So, it's just about shaking down the parishioners for money? Hmm. Seems pretty shady.

Kind of a strange way to look at it, given the fact they are going there voluntarily to begin with.

Cults are pretty strange. It's definitely not cool that the cult leaders take advantage of their mentally challenged followers by shaking them down for money. What would a god need with money?

Yeah, and what is that to you? What difference does this make to you?

If I choose to give my money, that I earned, with my own labor, to a cult... who are you to judge me as mentally challenged?

Are not those like you, the ones claiming to be tolerant, and non-judgemental? Who are you to say what G-d does, or does not want or need? Do you know G-d? No? Then who are you to judging what G-d does or does not need?

It's amazing how many people proclaim all these virtues non-stop, and then trip over them every chance they get.

Mind your own business. Not your business man. Keep your nose out of other people's butts.

This was not the first instance of a church having a gathering like this. A local church to my home did the same thing:

Breaux Bridge church to hold "Come as you are, Stay in your car" worship service

A Breaux Bridge church still plans to hold a Sunday worship service amid the coronavirus pandemic - just with a little "social distancing" twist.

www.katc.com

It was perfectly legal here in LA. So why not right across the border?

States rights.

Careful. There is a separation of church and state.

Which is why we need federal oversight of this. This is ridiculous. This does not violate the CDC's guidelines. No state has a right to ban a congregation that DOES comply with the laws. Sorry, this will wind up in a much higher court if they don't immediately drop all charges.

I would argue this should fought in state court.

The Federal government has no business interfering in state law at all, period.

Why would you drive to a church parking lot to listen to a pastor on the radio?

Democrats don't understand church, God, Easter, worship, and faith. It is also beyond the scope of this thread for me to explain it.

Republicans, I suppose, have a lock on religion, guns, rights, etc. etc. etc.
Stop the ridiculous nonsense.

Depends on what you mean by religion. If you mean ridiculous nonsense, then yes, we don't have a lock on that. Scientology is a great "religion" for Democrats who believe in myths already, like successful socialism.

In the past, I would agree with you. Today, not so much.

At this point, you can't be both a Christian and a Democrat.

If you want to be a Democrat, then you are not a Christian. It's that simple.

And who the **** is "we?" Exactly what I said. You, or as "we" think you are so f'n righteous. So full of shit, and yourself.

Why do you care anyway? Obviously you are not religious, so what difference does it make to you? I confused what you are getting your panties all bunched up about.

Most Democrats today are proudly non-religious. So why are you acting like I stole your sucker, and now you are having a temper tantrum?

Pointing out you think you have a lock on so much makes you look and sound like a blowhard. Too much for you to comprehend, I suspect.

I agree. Let me tell you a bit about myself... I am a life long Christian. I have a funded 401K, and I have a separate IRA. Additionally I keep several thousand in my bank account at all times.

Additionally, I have zero debt. No car loan. No house payment. No credit cards. No student loans. I owe no one anywhere, anything.

And I pay 10% of my take home pay to the church, every single check.
And I give to charities. And when I can I also volunteer at charities.

Give my last years income was a record breaking $30,000... I know people that make double how much money I do, and have a negative net worth.

So if the statement you made is true... clearly I'm not a fool then.

By the way, nearly everything I said is also true of my parents, who are now millionaires.

Right, if you had taken the time to read the posts I was responding to, HE... being the poster I replied to, was complaining that they must be in a cult, where the leaders were "shaking people down for money".

Obviously.... the people were not gathered at the church for the purpose of getting fined and giving $500 to the government.

Someone suggested they are actually there to tithe to the church, which makes some sense. Still, I think that's super shady, especially during a pandemic.

That's all.

My grandfather was a millionaire, back when a million dollars was a lot of money. So what? And if you choose to give your money to a cult, money that YOU EARNED, that's your right. But I'd say that the operative phrase is "you earned," because in my experience the owners do the least work but reap the greatest profit. Maybe it's time for a redistribution of wealth.

You have the right to be wrong. That's fine.

If you hadn't been childish and insulting, I would not have responded back in similar fashion. I find it hilarious that all I did was was throw back in your face, the same level of discussion you sent to me.

Whatever make you feel better about yourself.

This was not the first instance of a church having a gathering like this. A local church to my home did the same thing:

Breaux Bridge church to hold "Come as you are, Stay in your car" worship service

A Breaux Bridge church still plans to hold a Sunday worship service amid the coronavirus pandemic - just with a little "social distancing" twist.

It was perfectly legal here in LA. So why not right across the border?

States rights.

Careful. There is a separation of church and state.

Which is why we need federal oversight of this. This is ridiculous. This does not violate the CDC's guidelines. No state has a right to ban a congregation that DOES comply with the laws. Sorry, this will wind up in a much higher court if they don't immediately drop all charges.

I would argue this should fought in state court.

The Federal government has no business interfering in state law at all, period.

Why would you drive to a church parking lot to listen to a pastor on the radio?

Democrats don't understand church, God, Easter, worship, and faith. It is also beyond the scope of this thread for me to explain it.

Republicans, I suppose, have a lock on religion, guns, rights, etc. etc. etc.
Stop the ridiculous nonsense.

Depends on what you mean by religion. If you mean ridiculous nonsense, then yes, we don't have a lock on that. Scientology is a great "religion" for Democrats who believe in myths already, like successful socialism.

In the past, I would agree with you. Today, not so much.

At this point, you can't be both a Christian and a Democrat.

If you want to be a Democrat, then you are not a Christian. It's that simple.

And who the **** is "we?" Exactly what I said. You, or as "we" think you are so f'n righteous. So full of shit, and yourself.

Why do you care anyway? Obviously you are not religious, so what difference does it make to you? I confused what you are getting your panties all bunched up about.

Most Democrats today are proudly non-religious. So why are you acting like I stole your sucker, and now you are having a temper tantrum?

Pointing out you think you have a lock on so much makes you look and sound like a blowhard. Too much for you to comprehend, I suspect.

Truth is truth. I pointed out the truth. You didn't like it. Now you are deflecting. Well.... sucks to be you man. Truth is still truth. What it makes me sound like... I don't care. Did I say that I care what I sound like to you? No? Then you are free to assume I don't care. This might come as a shock, but you really are not that important to me.

I chose my way of life without someone telling how to think, who to worship, and who to (supposedly) believe in. Not a shock at all.

You live in a cave boyo.....there is now a thing called social distancing due to the chinese virus...read up on dat and git back here wid us.

Their radio only works in the parking lot?

Now I perceive you might be a jester hehheh

Anyhow if you are not just being a clown.....they are assembling together for a church service but doing it in a social distancing manner.....which still allows them to see and wave at each other etc. and also allows the church to pass the donations plate around.

So, it's just about shaking down the parishioners for money? Hmm. Seems pretty shady.

Kind of a strange way to look at it, given the fact they are going there voluntarily to begin with.

Cults are pretty strange. It's definitely not cool that the cult leaders take advantage of their mentally challenged followers by shaking them down for money. What would a god need with money?

Yeah, and what is that to you? What difference does this make to you?

If I choose to give my money, that I earned, with my own labor, to a cult... who are you to judge me as mentally challenged?

Are not you the ones claiming to be tolerant, and non-judgemental? Who are you to say what G-d does, or does not want or need? Do you know G-d? No? Then who are you to judging what G-d does or does not need?

It's amazing how many people proclaim all these virtues non-stop, and then trip over them every chance they get.

Mind your own business. Not your business man. Keep your nose out of other people's butts.

A fool and his money soon part ways.

I agree. Let me tell you a bit about myself... I am a life long Christian. I have a funded 401K, and I have a separate IRA. Additionally I keep several thousand in my bank account at all times.

Additionally, I have zero debt. No car loan. No house payment. No credit cards. No student loans. I owe no one anywhere, anything.

And I pay 10% of my take home pay to the church, every single check.
And I give to charities. And when I can I also volunteer at charities.

Give my last years income was a record breaking $30,000... I know people that make double how much money I do, and have a negative net worth.

So if the statement you made is true... clearly I'm not a fool then.

By the way, nearly everything I said is also true of my parents, who are now millionaires.

Whoopdy f'n doo.

I'm rather happy about it. Thanks.

And, if you are so charitable, pay one those parishioners' $500.00 fine.

I guess I don't understand your point. Are you bragging about how much you give to charity?

He said a fool and his money are soon parted, to me. Implying I was a fool. Or implying that Christians are fools.

No.

That's all.

My grandfather was a millionaire, back when a million dollars was a lot of money. So what? And if you choose to give your money to a cult, money that YOU EARNED, that's your right. But I'd say that the operative phrase is "you earned," because in my experience the owners do the least work but reap the greatest profit. Maybe it's time for a redistribution of wealth.

What do you mean by "owners"? First, by every possible measure, business owners and CEOs do by far, more work than employees, and by a very wide margin.

The average business owner, puts in between 50 to 60 hours a week. At my last job, the owner of the company was on vacation when a huge problem hit, and he had to buy a plane ticket back home on Tuesday, work Tuesday night, and all Wednesday, and then flew back to his vacation Thursday night.

You tell me which average employee owns that kind of responsibility, that on their week vacation, they leave their families and fly back 4 states away to take care of business, and thus "earns" the kind of money a CEO and business owner is paid?

And CEOs at large corporations work constantly. Go read the life styles of CEOs. They are replying to emails and pouring over documents by 6 AM, and don't get home until 6 PM, and often are replying to emails late into the night. And many work at the office on Saturdays, as a routine.

All that said... neither me, nor my parents, nor my wealthy grand parents, were business owners, or CEOs.

Like most wealthy people in this country, they earned their wealth as employees.

I'm simply commenting on the topic, trigger, relax. Meeting in a church parking lot to listen to a radio sermon in your car is ******* weird. Like, total wackadoo, lack of common sense weird. Someone suggested they are actually there to tithe to the church, which makes some sense. Still, I think that's super shady, especially during a pandemic. I get that you don't like my criticisms, but that too shall pass.

You have the right to be wrong. That's fine.

If you hadn't been childish and insulting, I would not have responded back in similar fashion. I find it hilarious that all I did was was throw back in your face, the same level of discussion you sent to me.

But somehow I'm triggered for responding to you exactly how you responded to me... but you are not triggered? Have you read your own posts?

Nope, not triggered. I find this topic fascinating and hilarious. All I said was that listening to a radio sermon in a church parking lot is weird. I also said I think it's super shady for cult leaders to bilk their brainwashed flock for money during a pandemic. I wasn't being insulting, unless you consider honesty an insult to your delicate sensibilities. In comparison, your responses seemed quite over the top. I will await your apology.
