In some places, churches are
exempt from lockdowns. Crazy, right? You’ve got a bunch of people in a confined
space, spreading germs around with no protection. Just what we’re trying to avoid.
If you read this blog, you know I’m
a churchgoer. So this post is not an attack on religion. But churches should be
included in lockdowns.
Some churches continue to hold
services in order to comfort their flocks during this time of crisis. People
need spiritual uplifting, they say.
That’s swell. However, those people
who are attending the services are providing fuel to continue the crisis. They
not only put themselves at risk, they put others at risk, too.
With options like televising and
livestreaming services, church is much more available than it was in the past.
Many people may not have internet capability, but most do have TV. Even if you
can’t find a service for your denomination, you can still hear the Word of God
preached. Or you can grab a Bible.
You are counting on the Lord to
protect you. Well, sometimes He protects us by having us use our common sense.
Stay home. Stop risking getting infected, and stop risking getting other people
infected.
Governors, lock down the churches,
too. Please.
