| #4 I guess there is no reason to have a tax exemption for church property then as it is non-essential. |

| #3 Certainly a church is not the building, but that doesn't mean churches need to be singled out for special regulatory attention. We've seen a number of governors take action like ticketing people listening to a church service over the radio. Governors have issued orders that treat building capacity differently depending on whether it is a store, restaurant or a church. That sure looks like hostility to religion to me. The ChiCom virus isn't evenly distributed. Your exposure is different in a crowded city vs rural America. Everything is a situation. One size fits all isn't going to work. No one remembers, but once upon a time, a President and a Governor had a disagreement over civil rights that lead to a troop deployment and some dramatic news footage. I believe the President (and America!) came out on top in that one. |
