Minor gripe...
I am torn about all the churches that want to meet, and the skeptical side of me feels it is more over money than religion...especially churches that are trying to start up in places where the pandemic numbers are rising drastically.
Why would they do this!? It makes no sense to me if they actually cared about their members.
Makes the skeptic in me feel it's all about money rather than anything dealing with what they teach in general.
Which is odd, because I am actually HIGHLY religious (Christian). I'm lucky in that my church hasn't started up in this way, taking a far more cautious outlook, but I hear of churches starting up in areas where the virus is spreading like wildfire and it dampens my enthusiasm, and it may even be affecting my faith a bit in religion.
I'm not sure what I'd do if my church decided it was time to meet. Probably not go until this is all blown over. It would be a struggle between my personal faith and what they think should be being done. I consider myself pretty religious, maybe even hardcore religious at times, so having these feelings about churches starting up is dividing me up.
I would think they should know Churches are one of the primary vectors for the spread of disease, and during the spread of a dangerous disease, they tend to be a hotspot of spreading. We've seen several events where churches have been the hotspot of the spread of members that attend them.
It probably is that I just do not understand why this is happening and why churches feel they have to meet. So much simpler to play RPGs online...which I did tonight.
Can't catch a disease from portal or messenger. Was only about 2 hours long though. Pretty focused on the game. One of the current players is a doctor. He mentioned before we began about seeing when this will all settle down, but that it may be a while before we can see each other in person or hold sessions in person. He is probably more religious than I am, but he was pretty critical of people ignoring science. I'm not sure of what is happening as he didn't go into detail, but as things are heating up in my area (pandemic wise) I think he may be experiencing something or some stuff at the hospital that he isn't really talking to us about.
