One of LRC’s readers, responding to Next Step in the War on Christians, told me his friend 

…said if this was Satan’s trial balloon to see how easily he could shut down churches then he’s laughing us to scorn.

I bet he’s saying to himself, “That was way too easy.”

Imagine if all the true Christian churches across the country had given these tyrants a big fat “NO”?  And the press that would have resulted and the ability to propagate the gospel via that.

Yeah: imagine.

Doesn’t Hebrews say, “DO NOT FORSAKE THE GATHERING TOGETHER OF YOURSELVES”???

It certainly does.

I got [the following] and am trying to calm down before sending something to my pastor:

“Needed:  6-8 people to spread mulch at the church Saturday morning at 9AM.  We will be practicing social distancing.”

Just shoot me–now.

Save a bullet for Your Intrepid Reporter, because yesterday I received a similar email from my former pastor. This clown refuses to hold services “due to public health concerns and guidance from the authorities God has set over us (Titus 3:1),” but he too is up for gardening: “LAWNCARE VOLUNTEERS: Are you available to help with lawn care? We could really use several more volunteers.”

I trust Rev. Clown and his volunteers will practice social distancing while genuflecting in the governor’s direction.
