Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced new coronavirus restrictions Thursday and urged people of faith to stay out of their churches during the Christmas season.
“This year, we need to think about what is truly the most important thing. Is it the worship or the building?” Northam said at a press conference. “For me, God is wherever you are. You don’t have to sit in the church pew for God to hear your prayers.”
He urged faith leaders to “lead the way” and “set an example” for their communities.
“Worship with a mask on is still worship, worship outside or worship online is still worship,” Northam said.
Northam conceded that he could not legally limit in-person worship ceremonies, noting that the recent Supreme Court decision against the state of New York prevented him from doing that.
But he blamed churches for contributing to the spread of the virus, noting that some houses of worship were not social distancing or wearing masks.
“I have heard reports. They don’t use distancing inside the church. They are not wearing masks. Quite frankly we know that a lot of the spread is coming from this,” he said.
Says the baby killer. Advocates for killing babies after they are born.
Exactly, he abandoned God alone time ago. He has no right to preach to us on how to worship. You can’t take communion sitting at home.
Seems like yesterday the good Governor was axed to resign and step away due his actions referred to as “black face”. Guess what, he is still there after telling the accusers to kiss off. Why is he still there you ass. He is there because he is a damorat and they don’t play well with others. There is no rule book for that party, just party.
How many paychecks has Northam missed because of the lockdown? Can you name any politician who has missed a paycheck because of the lockdown? No, you can’t.
Now the Dictator tells you how to pray & worship !!!
Get his ass out of Virginia, Democrats have ruined my state Long Enough !!!!!
He should be in Jail with his buddy who was Raping women, in the News.
but Now Under the RUG !!!!
Praying can be done everywhere.
To the point, churches have not been receiving the weekly “generosity” provided by worshipers and that does hurt the bottom line. As with every BUSINESS (sorry folks, religion became a business once a denomination left a worshipers hands into the basket) when the economy tanks – everyone hurts.
Yet, we can pray anywhere and everywhere regardless of economic challenges.
Hmmmm……
Bet he Won’t dare Bother any Muslims !!! Only the Rest !!!!
Church service are ok if they are called RIOTS for JESUS
