Just common sense to prevent the spreading of the virus. Nobody has said that they can't worship at home.

Quienes apoyen la idea de que en plena pandemia es 'bueno' que todos se contagien por haber demasiadas personas reunidas en un mismo lugar, son unos ignorantes. Gracias por informar señores periodistas. Hay que evitar las aglomeraciones.

Oh hell, let the nutbags group up & help decrease the surface population. Let’s see how well their god protects em from a virus, lol.

'We don't care if more of your church goers get the virus and die' is an odd DOJ stance but then it's *45's admin.

I'm pretty atheist, but you have to allow people to congregate for worship. Making laws to stop that directly goes against the first amendment. It would be like stopping protests because of the virus, and that clearly hasn't happened.

Because it’s important for the trump regime to constitutionally kill as many Americans as it can.

Dear Trumpublicans, Your Dear Leader is telling you the election is rigged. I don’t know about you, but if something is a scam, I would refuse to participate. 🚨👉Don’t let him down, Republicans: Refuse to Vote!👈🚨 RefuseToVoteBigly StronglyRefuseToVote

Nancy Pelosi, the woman who claims to be Catholic, doesn’t give a rat’s behind if churches ever open up. It’s almost as if she was an atheist or demon.

Typical Republican idiocy. They’ll blame local leaders for failing to control the spread, but interfere with local leaders’ attempts to do just that.

They violate it EVERY SINGLE DAY. Hypocrisy.
