I guess we'll see if the new Tennessee law is applied to Christo-Fascists...or is it only for those who protest against the systemic racism that Tennessee still spews like a puss filled tumor...

Won't happen in this red shithole, sadly.

Religion is nothing more than a socio-political control mechanism, so they won't prosecute their spineless, brainless covidiots.

One cannot yell "fire," so why would ut be ok to do this?

I am always astounded at the massive numbers of people drawn into religions, especially ones that do this sort of thing.

Are they afraid not going to church during the pandemic will earn them a ticket to the human construct referred to as "hell?"

Trying to bring on the "rapture?"

How do people get this stupid?

I say lock the fking idiot sheeple up for a wake-up call: your right to worship is not more important than others' right to stay alive, "pro-lifers!"

Morons should all be locked up & charged under new laws against protesters. Every. Single. One.

I have to wonder whether the old man on a cloud they fantasize about would be proud of them not using their brains for safety of self & others.

in overall number of cases by the end of next week, at the latest.

The top 10 states, in number of cases of coronavirus per 1 million residents:

1 Louisiana

2 North Dakota

3 Mississippi

4 Florida

5 Alabama

6 South Dakota

7 Iowa

8 Tennessee

9 Georgia

10 Arizona

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

All of the top 10 states in cases per million residents went for Trump in 2016, and 6 of them are Bible Belt states.

Not wishing for their deaths, mind you, but it would do them good to suffer a longterm or permanent reminder of their utter failure to act like grownups in a time of international crisis.

for knowingly exposing multiple sex partners to HIV because he failed to disclose that he was HIV-positive.

https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/crime/2020/10/12/danny-perry-ii-hiv/3635529001/

"Authorities last week locked up an HIV-positive man they believe may have infected dozens of women by having sex with them without first disclosing he has the potentially life-threatening virus.

Now, police, prosecutors and two victims are urging women who've had sex with the man, 41-year-old Danny C. Perry II — active in Nashville adult softball leagues for years — to get tested for HIV.
.....
Davidson County Criminal Court Judge Steve Dozier found Perry guilty of the felony charge of criminal exposure of another to HIV. The judge gave Perry the maximum jail time for the offense.
....
Authorities said it's a felony to be HIV-positive — or to have hepatitis B or C — and have sex with someone without first telling them about those medical conditions.

The victim doesn't have to get infected for a crime to be committed, Melby said, just exposed to HIV or hepatitis B or C.".....(more)

The Bible says we are made in God's image and we are to care for our bodies. We are not to defile them in any way. We are to care for and nurture them. Knowingly flirting with death is not caring for them. Plus, I don't think we would have been supplied with thinking brains if not to use them.

In Leviticus 13:45

Leviticus Over 2000. years ago says to separate the infected and keep them at a distance. 2000 years, and republicanism has made people lose all common sense!

“And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be arent, and his head bare, and bhe shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. 46 All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell aalone; without the camp shall his habitation be.“
