See the irrationality of religion exhibited in sharp relief! [View all]

Pastors sue California governor over coronavirus restrictions on church gatherings

Why are they doing this? Perhaps they realize that many people regard church as a social function that they go to mainly to get together, meet, and mingle with others in their community. With that aspect of church taken away from them they might succumb to the reality that church is really just a waste of time and money.

And anyway, doesn't Matthew 6:5 appear to forbid gathering together to flaunt your piety before others?

In short, I'll bet these pastors aren't worried about the Bill of Rights so much as losing their source of income.
