This isn't about religion, this is about the communities that their religion supports, and silencing them. As an person that does not support organized religion myself, I encourage all those who are members of any congregation to openly oppose this suppression of your beliefs. The suppression of your right to organize, and your freedom of speech. To get together, and have open dialog of both the lock downs, and the privately financed riots.

So do I. The problem is that we've been taught by our church leaders that we're supposed to do whatever the government says and if there's a problem Jesus will take care of it for us.

Remember Rome? Remember the pro-creditor class of the Hillel sect of Jews?

Why were Christians and christ so feared by Rome and the Jewish High priests, why?

Because men will not live by bread alone. To follow Christ is to give up what you have and walk in faith. To be a living sacrifice unto God and to be an example unto others as Yeshua was.

The simple life of going to a tax exempt church every other sunday and paying your taxes for the war machine and actually pretending that voring in the elections will chamge anything isn't going to cut it. You must become like Christ. Walk in faith.

Religious institutions might be failing but let us pray that the individual can find God and follow his instructions in calmness and humility.

Rome's Christians abided in brotherhood. And as a brotherhood did not have property, or many did not.

They were a threat to Rome not because they targeted Rome but because they RENOUNCED THE WORLD and followed Yeshua's teachings. THEY were seen as despicable to the violent culture of Rome, they held Ceasar as a man and would not dare say he was God.

What did Yeshua say about taxes and money. He explained that Ceasar's face was on it. Sooooooo, it is his. Our Federal Reserve Notes are not ours, they are made by someone. So, renounce this world and follow in faith. If eveeyone did this a brotherhood in Christ could be established and momey would need not be involved let alone money based on permanent public debt.

Something many so-called Christians in Christendom do not do.

I fight with this disconnect often. But pray I find peace and the way.
