In Florida, a Pastor has been arrested for holding church services despite a government order to stay at home. I believe that the articles in the link below are somewhat biased against the pastor.
However, according to a radio broadcast on this matter, the church and it's members practiced social distancing with increased spacing in the seating. The church installed a special filtration system in the air conditioning system so the air would not be recirculated in the church. I regret to say that I cannot find a link to that information that I heard in the newscast. If I can find a link, I will post it later.
Please keep in mind that I'm not attempting to violate the TOS by bringing up the subject of religion. I'm trying to bring up the subject of infringing on one of the bill of rights. The 2nd amendment is there should the government attempt to prevent citizens from exercising their rights in the other nine amendments.
A few questions come to mind.
1) The pastor was the only one arrested. Why weren't the other 1000 to 1200 other attendees arrested?
2) The state of Florida, like other states are releasing criminals from incarceration. Yet this Pastor is arrested for exercising his 1st Amendment right and has not committed any crime other than defying an executive order. Is that a double standard?
3) If the one man, the governor, is free to define what constitutes an "emergency" can that same governor then issue orders preventing individuals from exercise their constitutional rights, including the 2nd Amendment? What will happen in future "emergencies?"
4) The state of Florida, like some other states, has deemed that gun stores are an "essential business" and can remain open. So they obviously recognize the 2nd Amendment, why aren't they recognizing the 1st?
5) Is this a direct attack on Christians and/or other religion?
