They're not bunched at all. I was pointing out how the poster attempted to 'police' the narrative. We have mods for that.
So if I call out BS on the BS'ers is that the same thing? and expect you to defend that too? I don't think the poster needs a lawyer.
My comments were directed at the inaccurate description of the situation using "gestapo" pointing out that real gestapo would have killed them all and it's annoying hyperbole.
If you felt that was BS this we'll have to agree to disagree.
I'm not going to stop teeing off on stuff like that though, it got really old having to read for four years how everything Trump did was nazi this or Hitler that....especially the illegal camps being referred to as concentration camps by some.
Doubt more than a few posters here could name more than 1 concentration camp and a sad number probably think they were was just one.
Hard to wrap your head around this guidance from the Bible and Christians insisting that they must be able to worship in a church during a pandemic.
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
Where did I rationalize it? I merely pointed out the irrational hysteria of invoking the gestapo who would have killed every one of them.
How many died? Oh yeah, zero.
You go to band camp for a week and then claim you've been through marine corps boot camp too?
What else shall we call a group of armed, costumed aggressors who show up on private property to stop people from voluntarily gathering? Would compliance fairies better suit you?

I respect your right to call it as you see it... and I use mine regardless of what other s think. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

This post above and the scripture that it's based on - Matthew 6:5 - should be memorized. Then every time some chicken little starts screaming their hypocrisy about freedom of worship inside a church being curtailed by gestapo during emergencies this post and scripture Matthew 6:5 can be used as a response.
We are being shown that most people will turn against their fellow citizens just to keep a paycheck.
Religious meetings and individual rights DO NOT get suspended because of some real or contrived emergency................in a supposedly FREE country.
Freedom is a fallacy now.
Wrong! Religious meetings and individual rights DO get suspended during emergencies in free countries.
Freedom has always been a fallacy. There is no such thing ANYWHERE in the world as freedom of individual rights to do whatever you please whenever you please. To think otherwise is a childish fantasy. Will it take you until the day you die before you finally realize the truth of that?
People need to grow up and stop fantasizing and fooling themselves with such immature and irresponsible entitlement imaginations.

Heavy handed policing, over-reaching government...or yes, compliance fairies if you prefer.
Or, refer to them as the Gestapo if you want.
I'm not here to (nor do I have the power) squash anyones free speech on a discussion forum.
I will however point out that calling them the Gestapo is pretty stupid, unless of course they string up the congregation in front of the church or lay them out in a row and put a tank tread across the lot of them etc.

See, we can reach agreement.
