Jeebus! The stupid is strong with this one.
Even here in Colorado there are zealots. Hemit does not seem to take into account that the pastor is not about rebelling againts the government as a goal. She is just so caught up her belief system that she is by definition an idiot. That is, she is incapable of making a rational decision. This is a sickness worse than coronavirus as she could be putting a great number of people at risk that DO NOT AGREE with her. It is actually very sad.
I feel a little badly for his sucker parishioners, their families, but mostly for the innocent people he will endanger.
