I say it’s high time for massive civil disobedience. These people want to start a war on our freedom? And our religious freedoms no less? Then we should be more than willing to give it to them.

Anything to get rid of Christianity in the West.

String the Rats up. Uncivil protest is required.

It is because of the Washington choir superspreader event.

They aren’t banning Christians from singing.

They are banning Christians from singling in small close groups.

Talking spews a ton of particles into the air. Singing probably spews many many tons of particles into the air.

A good reason to have nothing to do with California.

The restrictions are leading to lawsuits.“

So are we going to have to play whak-a-mole with all of these obvious attacks on our rights? This is really getting depressing.

I watched an online Good Friday service. The preacher happens to be a musician, and he can play a zillion instruments. He played piano and trumpet during the singing part of the service. Another man sang. I was thinking that someone would say something about how dangerous that is.

About the time this anti Christian movement migrates east to the great state of Texas they’re gonna wish they’d stayed in Cali.

Saw this coming to the US years ago after living in the UK. They openly mocked Christians there in public and in media.

We’re usually about 20 years ahead of the UK. And here we are.

I warned my family and friends. Didn’t listen.

Let’s just get in over with. Mandate all Christian and Jews wear identifying arm bans and live in ghettos defined by religious affiliation.

I guess they pick on churches because they won’t scream “F##K YOU!” back at them
But I will.

And I ain’t alone...anymore.

The order applies to all “venues, such as concert halls, auditoriums, churches, temples, and playhouses, [where] a recorded and/or live-streamed event [is] shared virtually with the public”.

This passes muster according to Justice Scalia’s ruling: in supporting anti-peyote laws, he created the rule that “if prohibiting the exercise of religion ... is ... merely the incidental effect of a generally applicable and otherwise valid provision, the First Amendment has not been offended.” (Employment Div. v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990))

This week, a California county is facing criticism for introducing restrictions on singing and playing certain instruments in online worship services. Guess again.
