#Coronavirus #SupremeCourt #Maine
You know your in the last days when Angels such as China's Bat woman spills plagues on the living.
They should protect the church’s those stupid jerks
They won’t stop anyone from doing anything
Church’s better fight back
Dummies NBC
Christ walked among the people. He didn't deliver his message from a building.
These pastors are greedy… they aren't getting as much money from their following from online service's.
Churches are thieves den. If people don't shkw up, the thieves can't steal their money.
People still take churches serious I rather take my religions advice from the local bum than anyone preaching in those fake evangelicals or christians churches
While your at it there SCOTUS, TAX THE CHURCHES!
Tx all churches.
Is the news trying to divide America? Who would want to do that?
These churches are getting off my nerves
What is wrong with people??? This Covid-19 is not about freedom, it's about death!! Apparently the righteous Selot's are in a hurry to meet their maker. Las Vegas, NV August 5, 2021
These people are crazy!! Pathetic clowns!! 🤡🤡🤡
Please don’t judge all Mainers by these whack jobs!
It's weird some churches of all places aren't taking a plague seriously. All things considered
Also since when is seeing someone's face a necessity for any religion?
These people are going to end up getting the church shut down over politics. It’s foolishness. The Bible clearly warns against this worldlyness.
Soviet union went after the churches first. How dare people worship God before the State
The filing was improper. The Church's claim was not ripe for review, and further, the Sup. Ct. cannot offer advisory opinions. That being said, the church has a right to worship, which is protected under the 1st Amendment. Similar gatherings do not have constitutional protection. The church is the bedrock of our founding under Judaeo-Christian law. It is important, if not essential, to allow houses of worship to continue, regardless of what subset of 'health governance' is involved.
the church won't sound so evil if they just said we won't take any donation from people if restrictions are lifted.
wanted to get in and see comments thanks
WATCHING US MEDIA IS LIKE STEPPING BACK IN TIME.
It has been one year since New Zealand's last Covid death.
US Covid deaths 631,299 New Zealand 26.
US has 24,280 times more Covid deaths than New Zealand.
IMAGINE IF PANDEMIC MANAGEMENT WAS AN OLYMPIC SPORT.
New Zealand finished the Covid race with 26 deaths 1 year ago.
China finished the race on 14 January 2021 with 4,636 deaths.
America is still struggling mid way through the race with 631,299 Covid deaths with 600 more each day.
The govts kangaroo "supreme" court is wrong in law.
But hey, Lollapalooza was cool.
According to the official statistics, South Africa has turned into one of the greatest epicenters of Covid-19 in the world. Since the beginning of April to the 12th July 2020, the cumulative number of infections in South Africa has doubled about every 14 days. On 12 July 2020, 264,184 cumulative cases have been recorded, slightly more than double the 131,800 on 28 June 2020, 14 days before. South Africa was firmly on track to record half a million cumulative infections by 25 July. Community spread appeared unstoppable. At that rate of increase, 1 million would have been infected by 8 August, 2 million by 22 August, 4 million by 5 September, 8 million by 19 September, 16 million by 3 October and some 32 million by 17 October 2020. That would represent 53% of the population of over 59 million people. The daily number of new infections should then have dropped off steeply. On that trend, over the first two weeks of October, between one and two million new infections were likely to occur daily. The growth of new cases in adjoining areas, such as Zimbabwe, Namibia, Eswatini, Botswana and Lesotho was much, much slower – less than one-half to one-third the rate in South Africa. But now, with the current wave in progress, the numbers in these countries are growing in proportion with numbers in SA.
On 13 July 2020, the number of new cases in South Africa dropped significantly by about 1,440, or about 11%. The day before, the 12 July 2020, sales of alcoholic beverages were prohibited in South Africa, creating a false impression that the ban was the cause of the drop in numbers. However, this is false, because the normal lag period of some 5 to 10 days between the introduction of a new measure that is effective, and a reduction in case numbers, was completely absent, clearly identifying it as fake. This trend of a reduction of new cases continued daily and became progressively stronger. Today, 5 August 2021, with a third wave now fading, the official cumulative number of cases in South Africa stands at 2,484,009 instead of well over 50% of the population, had the 'trend' of doubling every 13 or 14 days continued. It had taken some 203 days to double to this latest number. (This number is significantly lower than the actual figure – just compare the shape of the curve in South Africa with those of Namibia and Botswana and this becomes abundantly clear). There is no rational reason for a ban on retail liquor sales to cause such a sudden, steep drop in new cases, and nowhere else in the world has a ban on retail sales of alcoholic beverages during specified hours been deemed useful against the spread of Covid-19. South Africa ranks 17th in the world regarding covid cases, and only 25th on population. Hence the conclusion is that, over the three-and-a-half months before 12 July 2020, the numbers have been manipulated up, as were the numbers on recoveries. Death numbers, on the other hand, were manipulated down: https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/national/2020-07-29-excess-deaths-soar-to-more-than-four-times-official-covid-19-toll-mrc-data-shows/
The question is, why have the case numbers been manipulated up?
Early in 2020, South Africa applied for an IMF loan at a very low interest rate. On 27 July 2020, the IMF publicly announced that a loan of US$4.3 billion was granted – https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2020/07/27/pr20271-south-africa-imf-executive-board-approves-us-billion-emergency-support-covid-19-pandemic Most likely, South African authorities were informed of the grant earlier than the public announcement, perhaps around 12 July? Clearly, the numbers in South Africa have been manipulated up to impress on the IMF an urgent need for funds to fight the epidemic in the country. Most of the funds have already disappeared into the pockets of corrupt people in positions of power and their family. But instead of lining the pockets of black gangsters who hijacked the South African political system, the money could have helped to relieve some of the suffering and misery caused by covid in places such as India, or in South Africa itself now that there is a genuine crisis unfolding. But the IMF money has already been squandered.
A further question is, what is the real motive for the ban on liquor sales – back in July 2020, again in early 2021, once again around Easter 2021 and now once again?
The answer is that the ban on liquor sales will most likely drive many liquor stores out of business. The liquor trade is seen as lucrative, easy business. White owners of such businesses are by legistation exempt on a racist basis of government financial assistance to weather the covid storm, including the IMF funds. White South African business people are excluded from a range of other business schemes on a racist basis, including the Tourism Fund. Many of these businesses are therefore likely to go bankrupt and be bought up at bargain prices by black politicians, their family members https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2020-07-31-ace-magashules-sons-each-bag-a-free-state-covid-19-contract/amp/?__twitter_impression=true and other black business people, perhaps using some of the IMF funds paid for other contracts where contract prices have been loaded – https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/covid-19-sahrc-set-to-probe-gauteng-health-spending-amid-corruption-claims-20200730

Morality, fraud and corruption assume many a guise. The black South African society and government is racist and rotten through from top to bottom and the people in power are on the loot. They saw an opportunity and they jumped on it. But at the same time, they are doing the South African population a grave disservice, endangering peoples' lives and livelihoods. The statistics are being adjusted according to ulterior motives. Such are the opportunities a good crisis offers to corrupted people for personal enrichment. This time, however, the South African black elite defrauded and made fools of the international community, their co-members of the IMF, in addition to their own citizens. Will they once again be allowed to get away with it?
Only 5 months after South Africa was granted the USD 4.3 billion IMF loan (which comes to USD 71 per person in South Africa), the South African government could not find the USD 4 per dose for the Astra Zeneca vaccine to vaccinate the population!

Its all true!
But the cherry on top?? – South Africans like this one:
"Samuel Makhetha @Jan Viljoen no sir, a lot of Africans used their forefathers best method of killing all kinds of flu viruses, steaming using different natural herbs and I'm one of them. No need to pay billions to sons and daughters of Colonialists who still have their own agendas of depopulation of black African people."
It takes just one half-civilised saboteur with similar views to leave a freezer door open or flick a switch and thousands of doses of vaccine are lost – as has happened in South Africa.
When a country turns against God God will turn against that nation. If you are not yet, you better get right with God. Shut down the government instead.
False prophets, killing their own people.
WHY ARE YOU NOT KEEPING THIS SIMPLE? CALVARY CHAPEL IS A RECOGNIZED 501.C3 CHURCH- PASTOR HAS SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH THE STATE THEY PREACH IN, AND BY VIOLATING THE STATE'S MANDATE TO MASK UP OR NOT HAVE SERVICE IS A REQUEST THE CHURCH MUST FOLLOW… OR PURPOSELY BREAK THE CONTRACT-NOT CHRIST LIKE- LEGALLY THIS CHURCH POSSIBLY CAN HAVE THEIR 501.C3 STATUS REVOKED AND FINED FOR ACTS SUCH AS THIS…AGAIN, WHY HAVEN'T YOUR EXPERTS POINTED THIS FACT OUT?
All churches want is to take your money and not have to pay any taxes. They don't care about your health or safety. Just read a bible, it's free
Wherever you decide to pray is your church, you don't need a building or someone preaching to you. God can hear you wherever you are. All greedy pastors preachers etc. hiding behind a church just to take people's money should no longer be tax exempt.ðŸ™ÂÂ
The US gives religions $82 billion per year in tax exemptions. Religions are businesses just as any other business with products (salvation, hope, forgiveness, self-righteousness, rituals, books, and more). It's time to start taxing them.

Stop fooling around with public health.
Hot mic, and she laughs (@ 2:13). Can't stand AM!
Steven King is probably so embarrassed but not surprised. I bet another great book of his comes from this!
Looks like the Supreme Court has been compromised.
The church has to get you in person to pick your pockets. It's all about the money.
