I notice that few on here ever really hold their state governments responsible for the trampling of civil rights during Covid. They were the fukkerss running roughshod over people, businesses and churches not the federal government overall. JBE was under no obligation to follow CDC suggestions or guidelines

I think that was the point. Sarcastic play on “oceanfront property in Minnesota.”.

They various states and communities shut down everything in their overzealousness. The key is that Christians and Christian churches weren't targeted.

How de facto privileged must a group be, to feel that it is being “persecuted“ for not being given de jure exemptions from rules and legislation which applied to absolutely everyone else?

Have you read the Bible. That has already been established as our future.
Satan's minions are busy insuring it happens.

The nature of the offense was unique in a lot of ways. Christians have real conscience and command issues that most non-Christians don’t have to deal with. Christians are supposed to take our beliefs seriously and obey what we believe God is commanding us to do in the Bible, including meeting regularly for worship, in spite of what other authorities say. Those who don’t have such beliefs and convictions don’t have to worry about whether to obey God or man because the struggle doesn’t apply in their minds.

It certainly doesn’t feel like a privilege to have to decide whether we should stick to our firmly held convictions or lose our jobs.

Have you lost all cognitive ability or just a liar.

We have a traitor and dope head running around the White House and you speak of equality under the Law.
We had a President harassed and threatened/impeached while his opponent was guilty of serious crimes but was never charged.

That is all fascinating, but how is any of it relevant to Rebel’s assertion that Covid restrictions constituted “persecution of Christians?”

I think that I can be forgiven for believing your comment to be a complete non sequitur.

You are being censored and canceled now. Probably another couple of generations away from "persecution". All dependent on what types of Authoritarians that our Progressive friends "elect" in the near future.

I’d say the bigger threat is the rise of “casual Christianity” (indicated by the massive declines in actual church attendance and real Bible study), and using it as an excuse or weapon against one’s perceived political foes.

Not really what Jesus was preaching about.

So closing church services, even when held outdoors, participants were wearing a mask, meanwhile allowing ANTIFA and BLM to march and burn does fit the double standard?

Except, of course, for BLM and those who rioted or wanted to attend a funeral for a drug addict.

Fauci even said himself that there were different rules for these people and their purpose.

Why do you insist on lying about this?

PS - I don't go to church or believe in God, yet I'm smart enough to see the double standards.

This is a bald faced lie.

Houses of worship were held to harsher restrictions on mass gatherings, and 4 Supreme Court members said this was ok because they disliked the content.

In the oral arguments for the website case, the gay rights side said with a straight face that if the situation were reversed, an LGBT business owner should be allowed to discriminate.

You’re both right. Covid restrictions weren’t aimed, exclusively, at Christians. But they did, in fact, affect all Christians- by closing churches.

Hank- I get it. A large number of Christians are lukewarm, whiny hypocrites who are constantly looking for an excuse to justify the meagerness of their existence. That’s on them, and often me as well.

Your mistake, is that you judge Christianity by those who halfheartedly practice it (which is just about all of us). It’s like saying that Beethoven was a terrible composer, because all you’ve ever heard was a techno remix of Fur Elise.

Keep in mind that the Democrats frequently issued selective lockdown restrictions based on content. Naughty in Nawlins was ok. Bear Week was ok. Anti lockdown protests were selfish and irresponsible but anti police protests were allowed.

The mayor of Louisville went as far as trying to ban drive-in worship services.

No doubt. Neutralizing Christianity has been the number one priority of the Marxist/communist movement since its inception. They are just beginning to realize the fruits of their labor. But, they are equally motivated in the pursuit of globalization by destroying small businesses.

It worse than that. They feel "persecuted" when they aren't allowed to impose duties and take rights away from others.
