This outsider honestly wants to know where you come down on the topic of churches going ahead with their services, because Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, etc... it's all the same to me.
The Catholics have dialed back their usual Easter festivities to remote practices. Italy getting so totally hammered by the virus no doubt played some part in this. Other denominations following suit.
Then there are the sects going ahead as usual, risking the setback of three-ish weeks of state-directed virus mitigation. What's your take on these? Regional need to keep the collection plate passed? Zealots who think their faith makes them bulletproof (we'll be confirming that within three weeks)? They need to get out and be SEEN to be good Christians? Something else?
These folks stand to get a lot of people both inside and outside of their congregations killed, and for a group that likely espouses that their god is everywhere and that location shouldn't matter, I find it more than a little mystifying that they can't just agree to practice where they are.
Please discuss.
