Regarding Certain Churches and Pastors Protesting About Restrictions...
Is there any business better equipped to switch to webinar sessions than a church?
How is the mildly inconvenience of staying home, when you can still get your service, more of an issue than the health of you, your family, fellow church members and general public?

4 RisposteFellowship is a very important part of the church, as Christians not only meet on Sundays (and other days for events) to listen to a sermon, but to also encourage one another and build each other up. It builds up a unity, and that unity is critical for a church. You can’t always get that live-streaming.

10 RisposteWhat I want to know is what kind of churches everyone seems to be going to where everyone’s socializing and making a -blam!-ing party out of it. When I went to church, it was a room full of old farts where you’d sit down, shut your mouth, listen to the same spiel you heard last week, and go on your merry way after the priest stuffs your mouth with The Body of Christ™. It’s like going to a movie. When the -blam!- do you socialize with strangers in a theater?

Maybe the same reasons people continued to go and have party’s with their friends and family on the weekends when all of those stay at home orders were in place? Who knows. For anyone on this forum that hasn’t had a lot of experience in dealing with the public, both inside and outside of your area where you live, I’m going to let you in on a little secret...there are A LOT of stupid people in this world, both religious and non-religious. Most the time, these stupid people don’t realize the capacity of their stupidity. Having said all of that, if you want to increase your odds of succeeding in life, don’t hang around stupid people. The end.

Good opportunity to brush up on theory though (hold your breath, don't get eaten - works for both parties).

1 RispondiI don't know about Protestants but for Catholics communion is a sacrament and the main reason you go to church. You can't eat His flesh and drink His blood if you aren't there. However, I think Jesus would be okay with us if we didn't go during a pandemic.

2 RisposteI’m a Christian and even I know that you can do it from home. Church never was [i]just[/i] a place. It’s a people. Many times throughout history Christians have made so without a place of worship, and they can certainly do so in this age of technology

9 RisposteEveryone going on about whether they should be able to go to church or not but not realizing the most important thing you said.. any better "business".. the church is absolutely a business and should be taxed accordingly. Can you imagine the burden that would be lifted from the middle and lower class if churches were taxed? It would be incredible.

36 RisposteMy question is, why are non-essential businesses reopening but when pastors say the church should be opening back up people have such a big issue with it? Why not say they can open but maintain proper social distancing like other places? Is it just because they are Christians? If not, what gives non-essential businesses the right to open but not churches?
-
Yea. Like my church already had it televised so it wasn’t even a big deal. Now we get to sit at home and watch it.

12 RisposteChurch isn’t a business, despite how many people within it and without think of it or liken it to one. Church is community, and people do not get a feeling of community from a computer screen.

1)There’s a different social sense of community in meeting in person than there is interacting online. 2) Extroverts prefer to meet in person. It seems a majority of people are extroverts... 3) It’s good for there to be push-back against new precedents, even if they are claimed to be only “temporary”. How easily we gave up our right to privacy in the heat of the moment and our emotions after 9/11 when the Patriot Act was passed. This whole pandemic has sort of exposed a lot of issues around the world. In this case, the issue is of how easily and on a whim a government can take away your right to gather or protest or even work for that matter.

1 RispondiI'm not really sure, other than these churches aren't taking this threat seriously. My church did steamed services for a couple months, but now our state is opening back up so the church is sort of re-opening. Even then, there are still the 6 feet rule, everybody's temperature is checked, nobody who is coughing is aloud in, and elderly people are encouraged to stay home.
