Fellow Virginians and Christians - please remember this next time this man Northam is on a ballot for anything more important than street sweeper.
This may be the only thing this idiot governor does that makes sense.
Not a good look.
The baby killer says he is concerned with saving lives.
Has he proposed a hood or blackface as a cure yet?
How in the F are liquor stores essential services?
The churches could actually turn this in their favor, by booking many services in a day, limited to nine congregants and the clergyman.
I do not expect public officials to grasp the pharmaceutical value of the Eucharist as “the medicine of immortality” (+Ignatius of Antioch, 2nd Century Martyr) but even the most dense can understand that Christ's offering is “food indeed”.
As for the 10—other than being a number that Dr. Faux-see pulled out of a hat without a shred of scientific evidence—clergy could simply schedule multiple abbreviated services through out the day.
I just found out here in MD, our bike shop is still open! It is considered “essential”!
(Gov closed all non-essential today.)
Tell me there isn’t some kind of agenda here.
As a pastor in virginia I find this very insulting to try to follow this.
Heard from doc in my neighborhood that liquor stores are being kept open because the government doesn’t want all the alcoholics in withdrawal clogging the ERs. Liquor industry gets most of their of revenue from people who have 10+ drinks PER DAY. Eye opener.
Remember: the Commonwealth of Virginia owns the ABC stores, which is the only place in the state you can buy a bottle of “hard” liquor or in greater quantities. Gotta make sure the liquor revenue keeps rolling in...
This idiot governor closed the schools till June! If there is anything that guarantees the continued disruption of the economy this is it. If the virus subsides in the next few weeks (a distinct possibility) the parents still have to try to figure out how to take care of the kids. This means that some of them will lose their jobs. This means that some small businesses will go out of business and this means that all of the kids get short changed on their education. Ole’ coonman needs to consider opening the schools in the summer to make up for this.
What did you expect from a Communist?
a church service is a gathering of more than ten
The Mayor of Denver just ordered the liquor stores closed. Apparently, we’re going to bring Prohibition back for the next few weeks.
The same thing happened here in Kentucky. Our governor closed churches and non-essential businesses, but left the liquor stores open. He is a Democrat, of course.
Maybe he’s doing a better job of looking out for churchgoers than drinkers.
But really, how often do crowds meet in the liquor stores?
Other states are doing this.
Its not specific to churches
People will sit ten times longer in the government DMVs waiting for service than in a church.
Has the governor closed down the department of motor vehicles?
