"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect". -Romans 12:2

In the midst all the confusing, contradictory, misleading information about the pandemic, geared towards controlling people, there is the truth of the real science about COVID. Yet some Christian organizations are falling in lockstep with the unnecessary, dragonian measures to deal with the pandemic that is driven by fear mongering.

Six main arguements against mandatory mask wearing is listed on ballotpedia.org:

• 1. Mask requirements are not necessary to stop the spread of coronavirus


• 2. Mask requirements give a false sense of security


• 3. Mask requirements restrict freedom


• 4. Masks present other health risks


• 5. Mask requirements have harmful social consequences


• 6. Mask requirements are unenforceable

Last night I went to a Christian event. The woman I'm dating said she noticed a sign that said there is mask mandate. I didn't. When I walked in the church, someone abruptly told me "the masks are over there", pointing. I thought she was just offering me a mask, as does a retail store where I work. I used the same line on her as I did greeters when they offered me an optional mask at the store: "I don't drink the Kool-aid". At one point I asked her if they were mandatory. She answered, as if it were a routine matter to wear a mask, "yes." I didn't put it on, as I noticed other people were not wearing masks. A little after I sat down, someone else approached me with masks and rhetorically asked me if I need a mask, forcing it on me. I didn't wear it but stepped on it after it fell on the ground.

I stood my ground and didn't wear the mask, based on lies.

This isn't the only church related organization that succumbs to the fear mongering, driven by an agenda to limit people's freedom, including freedom of religion. The non-Christian establishment, like Haman who demanded Mordecai kowtow to the cultural norms of the culture under King Xerxes, wants Christians to conform its worldly ways. By going along in order to get along, Christians are selling out by subscribing to society's unscientific, irrational mandates that minimizes their ministries.

In southern Bucks County, PA., only one of many churches that hold meals to feed the homeless and needy have a sit down meal, which is not just a meal, but a ministry. A pastor said he can understand non-Christians falling for the fear mongering, but that Christians shouldn't. They need to practice what they preach! Faith over fear, man!

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind". -2 Timothy 1:7
