I don't have a bias. But I'm not immune from catching an epidemic virus and spreading it around just because I'm inside a building with a steeple. Just realistic.
In this fantasy, do we have a president who is constantly telling us about that the U.K. is our greatest enemy, and do we have a history of de jure racism against English immigrants? If so, yeah, I think it would be disrespectful to call a virus that. Context and subtext are related.
This little side discussion clearly isn't going anywhere. I'm willing to move along if you all will.
Dear Freecycle.org member,
Freecycle is a global community, and right now our community is under threat from a global pandemic.
While we remain committed to reducing waste and keeping items out of the landfill, our main concern
is the health and well-being of our members. We've asked local moderators to refocus local groups
on crisis info and updates: local testing sites, shopping restrictions, critical info, and to only
allow items which are essential/basic necessities. Click on “Contact moderator” at the top of your
local group page to pass on info for wider dissemination to other local members. Above all, please
follow local and national guidelines when posting items to your local group,
and when giving or receiving items.
You, as a member, also have a critical role to play: for example by notifying your moderators of the
latest info so that they may email it out to local members. Or, post the info in an OFFER to the entire group:
OFFER: virus-testing site info
WANTED: info on shop hours for the elderly
Please, when making a post, do consider the following to remain safe and healthy:
- Only post essential items / basic necessities;
- Avoid all contact with the recipient: place item on your porch for others;
- Do not participate in the gifting process if you are experiencing any symptoms;
- Before picking up or gifting: wash hands, wipe the items down with a disinfecting wipe;
- After picking up, disinfect items and wash hands;
- Also, please disinfect regularly-used surfaces like gates or the table where item is left;
Essential items may include: canned goods, masks, protective gloves, disinfecting gel, etc. You get the idea, but
again, follow official guidelines and orders in effect at your location.
Not the craziest thing I've heard this week.
And on some indeterminate day after the first 7, God created herd immunity.
Pretty sure this particular poster you quoted has a bias and would give a thumbs up to any reason for prohibiting religious gatherings based on previous posts in other religious discussions.
That's why we have the Supreme Court.....and it is so important to staff it properly.
Well, you left out how Lou Gehrig discovered amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
I've never posted that religious gatherings should be prohibited, and I don't feel that way. You know what they say about ASSumptions...
I'd respond in kind with a ridiculous assumption about you based on your posts, but to tell you the truth, none have ever made an impression.
Mind your P's and Q's there, Pilgrim.So, is chicken pox speciesist?
This little side discussion clearly isn't going anywhere. I'm willing to move along if you all will.
You must be pretty new to the internet to think that might happen.
So have Indiana LEOs busted up any religious activities since the EOs? Truly, I haven't looked for this and it hasn't popped up in my various news feeds (in Indiana).
Until then, this is a hypothetical.

https://activistmommy.com/coronavirus-response-has-convicted-criminals-freed-pastors-arrested/Florida pastor Rodney Howard-Browne was charged with unlawful assembly and violation of public health rules after disobeying Hillsborough County’s social distancing orders. Howard-Browne turned himself in to a sheriff’s office on Monday.
In Louisiana, Pastor Tony Spell was issued misdemeanor summons on six counts of violating the state governor’s executive order banning gatherings of more than ten people.
“[Spell] signed the summons, he gave us his fingerprint, he prayed for us,” said Asst. Chief of Police Darren Sibley of the Central Police Department. “It was a very non-confrontational meeting.”
Oh trust me, your previous postings as a vociferous outspoken atheist in religious discussions have left an impression. Hence the reason for my post. I’m done.I've never posted that religious gatherings should be prohibited, and I don't feel that way. You know what they say about ASSumptions...

I tried to rep you for Radagast, but: rep Nazis.
