Not to excuse churches, but in terms of responsibilty for the spread, I would rank religion solidly in second place BEHIND irresponsible political leaders, in the case of potus literally a sociopath. Religious faith just makes these hapless people sitting ducks for the cynical sales pitch. There are, after all, a handful of other deeply religious countries. But they lack our "leaders." You could reasonably argue that, given the right leadership, religious people might even be good about following orders to "be good stewards" of public health.

Only in part. Let's face it, most people haven't the discipline or self control to stay the course, we all let rip as soon as possible. Personally I'm concerned that this will be the template for all future epidemic / pandemic responses. This may well be the new normal.

Jackasses!

In part. But mostly because the US is run right now by a fat orange imbecile and a party of bigots.

Totally amazing isn't it and now dumbass wants to force the schools open.

Lots of those folks believe God is going to protect them, which reality is showing is not true, whether God doesn't exist or is just being an asshole? Who knows. But I love that these folks who all think God is watching out for them, are somehow nearly always the same people who think they better stay well armed all the time.

So . . . does God protect you or not?

CHURCH SAYS : "Don't be so insensitive, you know we need the money from the collection plate or tithe, we can't live without it...if people gets COVID and dies, we don't care, Jesus will be waiting for them with open arms! "
