SCOTUS decisions

There's a huge difference between walking into a store (liquor or other) for 10 - 20 minutes, a mask, some distancing and a church for an hour singing, praying, for many of these churches limited or no social distancing, masks etc. The former has nit been shown to be large scale spreading situations the latter...

Our country is worse off now after moscow mitch's years of judicial activism that culminated in dolt 45's years and the three scotus seats. Two completely unqualified and three straight up religious activists.
 
That's why churches were treated like, and more favorably than, concerts and the theater, because those are more apt comparisons. But we know common sense/science will never win out over religious fanaticism with this crew. Add in that they fucked up the legal application as well, and we can expect a lot of dumb shit from this current majority for a long time.

From my understanding, the regulation applies regardless of what measures the churches/synagogues take to reduce spread, such as limited attendance, social distancing, mask requirements, and prohibitions on singing. Not taking that into account is discrimination on the basis of religion, and fails to comply with strict scrutiny.

The state can plainly justify limitations on public religious practice in response to a pandemic, among other things. They just have to come up with ways to do so that aren’t discriminatory. That should be neither controversial nor difficult to achieve, unless, of course, the dominion is the point.

The modern evangelical christian wants to legislate, ejudicate, police, maintain societal norms based on their new and selective interpretation of the bible. All while taking tax free status and making claims that freedom of religion gives them the right to take rights away from others because they don't like those others. Oh, and they whine about infringement of their rights while demanding they be allowed to infringe on the rights of others. And what are they always crying about? You (gays and heathens) can't use the word marriage! Thats Christian! Stop the WAAAR on Christmas! We stole that date and those traditions (worshiping a tree) fair and square. It goes on and on while creating mega churches for MAXIMUM GRIFT (thanks deadpool)
 
You need to start getting your news from somewhere other than the Tunnels if you aren’t aware of the tension between the Orthodox Jewish community and the government in New York.
 
Long standing issues indeed but those do not change a word I wrote.
 
It’s not about f’ing religion...it’s about public health.


Honorable, decent, and informed religious folks would eagerly comply.

Ignorant assholes will object.
 
Again, Junebug won't respond to me because he can't. He loses. That opinion is shit and he knows it.
 
Junebug and Gorsuch both mentioned bike shops. I wonder why conservative weenies love to bitch about bike shops being open but never say a word about car dealerships and mechanics being open.
 
You know what's effectively economically useless? A church. But the supposed party of unfettered free market capitalism and life wants economically useless super spreader of death fiction events to continue so more people can die.

And LOL at strict scrutiny for this. Sotomayor destroys that BS hypocritical bullshit. Just read her opinion. She embarrasses the lightweights like Junebug. He fancies himself an intelligent guy, and loves to condescend, but he's not a very bright dude.

imagine comparing Thomas, kavanaugh, and barret with Sotomayor... one of these things is not like the others...
 
Yeah, that is not a good argument. An order closing all schools is the definition of a neutral law of general applicability.
 
As were the church restrictions when compared to similar secular activities.

But where two or three are gathered for church, God is there. And you don’t want government to regular God like a Kiwanis meeting.

I hadn't thought about it that way. God cannot be socially distanced in church because he is present in his worshippers hearts. What is Cuomo going to fine God $1000 for that violation? Does Cuomo think he can make God wear a mask? Ridiculous! How will God breathe?

To revise a famous quote:

In God we trust. All others need to wear masks.
