The COVID-19 pandemic

Man wow, I am wondering if anti mask sympathizers are now filling this church instead of the congregation. When our church was open it was pretty strict and everyone was masked or asked to stay home. The bishop declared that the holy day obligations were to be suspended until further notice.

Churches are different from one another. This kind of anti-mask attitude, not to mention many other anti-science, anti-education, and anti-knowledge attitudes, are not something I see in the churches I have regularly attended. Anything called a “bible chapel” is relatively likely to exhibit these problems, although even in that group there is probably a lot of variation. So I find it entirely believable that the people involved are their actual congregation.
