Something to remember about most churches (aside from corporatized megachurches) ...

Posted by ReluctantCynic (aka ReluctantCynic) Apr 1 '20, 15:42

A lot of them function as community centers, daycare providers, and -- especially in trying times like these -- recovery centers. It's been a huge challenge for folks in recovery to get to 12-step meetings when churches have been closed.

So, yeah, I'm all in favor of allowing any social institution to reopen as long as they follow the proper public health guidelines.

    - It's just flippin' awful. Those trolls are near the top of my list of "Come the revolution, these folks will be the first up against the wall." -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 1, 16:00 1
      - They should be. -- nm - . Apr 1, 16:19
