Maybe "overly trusting" isn't the right description. Maybe you just overstate stuff.
Maybe I do. What did I overstate?

I read the Bible and it's not in there.
Read all of it.


“If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven. “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”
— Matthew 18:15-20

Thank you for proving my point - nowhere is "church disciple" found, but what I paraphrased in my post - "where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst" - is in there.

Sporting events, strip clubs, democratic luncheons/fundraising events and the like...completely fine and no problem.

Anything involving the church - RAWR! SUPER SPREADERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
In CA , they are pretty strict . Sporting events, Bars and stuff. You're supposed to get a negative COVID-19 test. Before you attend. And government stuff are even stricter. Where I live. My dad was in the hospital in San Bernardino. I couldn't visit him, with out showing a COVID-19 vaccination card and hospital issue mask. I'm fine with that. And I think they should demand COVID-19 testing . You cant trust people in denial . People complain about Newsom. But his county was open before mine. I don't think he was strict at all.

Why are unmasked group events considered super spreader events only based on one particular political leaning?
What I wanted to say earlier . I'm sure these people were tested for COVID-19. And the test showed up negative. Before they went to this even. But I would never be okay with being ,that close to people. During a COVID-19 pandemic. That's killed so many people. Even people that have mild system. Now have health issues. I don't think democrats weren't strict enough. But they weren't as bad as Trump or conservatives programming. Presidents or government officials. Shouldn't be making decisions. Because their favorite TV program said to.

Hold a camp where everyone sleeps in large groups, where vaccination is not asked for, no one is tested or masked.

Guess what happened!

CDC: Church camp that didn't require vaccinations, masks linked to 180 COVID-19 cases (msn.com)

And to take it a step farther 6 men from that camp went to a similar men's conference to pass on the blessing oc covid-19!

Some key information is missing. How many were in attendance total? Did any of the unvaccinated require hospitalization? Of the 16% (29 of the 180 cases) of vaccinated people who contracted the virus, was there a correlation to which vaccine they took and the variant that infected them? How many were asymptomatic?
