Trump pressures mayor to reverse ban on drive up churches

[createdtoworship]

After trump stood up against it, the prejudice against christians ended as DOJ stepped in regarding mayor banning drive up churches, and mayor reverses ban.

Mississippi Mayor Reverses Ban on Drive-in Church Services After DOJ Intervention

“Thus, government may not impose special restrictions on religious activity that do not also apply to similar nonreligious activity."

So if drive in restaurants can be open then drive in churches can be as well.

Sounds fair enough if the same amount of physical distance is observed.

As a matter of fact, a drive-in church is (from all that I can tell) even less involved with in-person interaction than happens with drive-through fast food outlets.

that would be the point sir. It's called social distancing, it's the law. That is the only reason why they are doing it. Good post.

I guess I am missing why being in one's car for a worship service, separate from other families, is not okay when it's a church, but it's perfectly fine--and in fact "essential"--if you lean out of your window and talk to and touch the hand of the employee at the fast food place.

Like we just saw it seems to be fine.

Without going to Satans plan to destroy the church folk more mundane explanation probably is that when they drafted social restrictions they just mentioned church services without thinking there could be something like drive in service.

So you can read satans thoughts and you know, if He did or did not do this. That's pretty impressive. I should ask you which stock picks are good for the next few months too.

Thanks. Your ignorance of probabilities, office clerk mindsets and logic is pretty impressive too.

Or go in the grocery store or go in the liquor store. we should put churches at the same liberty as a liquor store - not less.

Not having liquor can kill you, not going to church isn't going to harm you, though as long as precautions done I can see drive thrus being fine.

More people will die from having alcohol than not having it so closing the liquor stores would be a net positive except for the fact that people can still get some form of non toxic alcohol in most states in a grocery store. So closing liquor stores would not cause anyone to die from alcohol withdrawal almost anywhere in the US due to the closing of liquor stores. Additionally more people will die from both alcoholism and covid-19 by going to liquor stores than will die from going to a drive thru church.

You can buy alcohol at walmart. The point is that liquor stores should not be open if Drive through churches are not, they are not required, they are not food.

There are still some states that only allow alcohol sales in liquor stores. So not true that anyone can just buy at a grocery store.

As far as drive through church, I agree that with safety precautions they should be allowed.

You are saying for the case of methamphetamine addiction, that it should be legal temporarily because people MAY die if they don't get their fix. Well? I don't follow. Should all illegal stuff be legal just because someone is addicted to it? Nah.

I said no such thing. Try again.

well if you open liquor stores that are illegal under a stay at home order, why shouldn't they also open meth shops or Marijuana dispensaries? You mean to tell me there is no prescription available that can simulate or reduce a chemical addiction? I think we need to research this more, rather than just opening up liquor stores across the board, & abortion clinics, while simultaneously closing down drive up churches.

Withdrawal from meth is not fatal, alcohol withdrawal can be. Try again.

I’m not advocating opening businesses that are supposed to be closed until the state seems they can be opened. Liquor stores and dispensaries are open though, not sure if everywhere, but at least in my state they were never asked to close. Meth shops? Really? Meth is illegal in every state so a non issue when discussing what businesses are allowed to operate.
And I already stated that drive through churches should be allowed, though I have no idea what the value is.
A video service makes much more sense that a quick drive up chat with a clergy member. Or video/telephone prayer/counseling as an option.

Heroin then. The point that was being made was not a about meth specifically but withdrawal from an addictive substance.
