The churches in CA need to sue. This is a flagrant violation of the First Amendment.

My church is all like tHeY’Re NoT GoInG aFTer cHurCheS dIreCTlY, so we'll comply with the bullshit. Fuck this, the church has been far too complacent, we need to make a stand somewhere. Why not this while we’re still able to?

Are we talking Weimar Republic Germany? They managed to rationalize themselves into full blown national socialism in response to a civil war by Jewish Germans after outside agitators from the Soviet Union tried to start up communism.

Seems an apt analogy to what' happening here.

This entire ordeal has greatly diminished my respect for a large number of religious leaders. Apparently even the people preaching don't believe that what they're preaching is terribly important?

They don't just need to sue. They need to ignore these edicts regardless of the outcome.

Maybe the Mormons can put some of their Billions to good use for once.
