    Going off your post in this thread alone, I really don't believe you are an authority on tolerance :no::roll:

    All non-essential gatherings of 11 or more people are still banned.

    That means New York is not discriminating against churches.

    If you want to argue that churches are essential, that is another story

    There is no evidence that some religious denominations are being allowed to violate New York's rules while others are not.

    I would love to see evidence for such a claim

    All houses of worship in New York are allowed to remain open.

    However there are rules regulating how many people can come inside

    Home Depot is limiting occupancy of the stores in my area to 100 customers at a time. If 100 customers added to the number of employees divided by the square footage of free floor space of the store is considered safe enough, then it should be a safe enough method for a church to fill the pews.

    Nope I can find many places of worship that are having regular services.. WTF is that shithole of a state going to roll up and roust people out like common prostitutes at a bordello raid.. Who in the hell wants to live in a giant concentration camp like that, FMRunning! Hell I wouldn't need a virus to keep me indoors there, I'd be so depressed from all the rules I'd not want to come out :)

    You think presidents that act like dictators should be stopped too? Or is this call aimed merely at the perceived political enemies of President Tweety?

    I recall the clammering about obama behaving like an emperor, meanwhile trump ROUTINELY attempts to claim "rights" and "powers" he simply does not have and the far right cheers. your "defending the constitution" arguments and angst ring hollow.

    What a horrible argument. Religion is addressed in the 1st amendment. How can you even argue this point. Isn’t that the president’s job to defend the constitution?

    And so is a free press - you know those guys that your dear leader calls the "enemy of the people" and who thinks FOX News is supposed to help him get reelected.

    Since there isn't any religion I know of that insists the only place to practice it is in a house of worship, nobody is being oppressed. A public health crisis is more than sufficient justification to impose temporary restrictions of public gatherings. The rights of the herd supersede the rights of the individual in such a case. Perhaps you should consider the global pandemic response as a war on virus. Americans in particular have no worries about sacrificing rights when it comes to waging wars. Does the Patriot Act ring a bell?

    He is not forcing churches to do anything, he is forcing tyranical state dictators, to allow churches to open if they wish.

    what does that have to do with temporarily restricting public meetings of ANY KIND in the midst of a pandemic?

    He isn't forcing anyone to do anything. He's bluster and blather trying to divert attention from the fact that he's off golfing while 100,000 americans have died in the ONGOING pandemic.

    For someone who claims to be a patriot, you sure as hell don't seem all that familiar with the limits of presidential powers as defined by the constitution. A rather ironic phenomenon amongst many trump followers.

    Just curious. How would it have changed anything, if he did not go golfing? Presidents have gone golfing through just about every crisis known to man.

    I did not realize another hundred thousand had died while he was on the golf course. That makes two hundred thousand total.
