True tribal beliefs. I hate to offer praise to any church, but years ago in the UK at least, the Methodist church introduced using trays of separate little cups for communion wine. So how backward and brain dead do you have to be, not to simply follow a good example when it has already been set for you ?
Or do you deliberately avoid following good examples, because, you don't do what 'they' do, since every priest is the competitor of every other priest for control of the 'sheep', and religion is, by its nature, divisive and tribal.

                                        I remember those little cups. I put distance between myself and those folks as soon as I could - 12 years old and I finally just refused to go. My mom said "But its good for you" and I said "if it's so good for us then why do you drop us off at the front door?". Methodists believe Catholics are the spawn of the devil, at least that was the message many southern Methodists received.
Insanely reckless and irresponsible behaviour.

                                        Eioquently understated. 
The same childlike behavior is found throughout these religious groups, even if they get sick and make others sick, they will chalk it up to god's strange and mysterious ways of punishing humanity. It's why religion has always been the enemy of science and logic.

Ask the lord why?
Yet he never answers, yet let’s you suffer and die without any explanation of why he pick you!!!
Sounds just like the evangelistic’s and obstructionist republican telling you to pray while they steal you blind and offer nothing in return!!!
If you win, its gods help, and if you lose it gods instruction. Either way the brain washers win.
To be fair, this type of wreckless behavior is not limited to churchgoers.

Well, that'll thin the herd. I avoid religious people anyway, I do think it will be an interesting study for when this virus is contained just how many church goers passed this shit along.

Proof, if any was actually needed, that religious conviction is the enemy of intelligent thought! These priests should be arrested and locked up, in whichever country they are are.

                                        What a bunch of morons and again it is religion that is exercising its privileged position in society. In the us some churches are still having huge congregations one even claiming he as had a machine that destroys the virus. When this is over i wonder how many of the faithful who attended all the church services will still be here. The other point is how many will end up in hostpital stretching the resources all because they wanted to go to church for some comfort. How many will they ifect and kill all because they wanted to hear the priest speak.

A stupid priest thinks because he’s been doing it for 51 years he can carry on.
I don’t know Russia’s ruling on self containment is or even if there is one.

"The sun beams down on a brand new day,
no more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away,
at last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight
Gonna kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill the poor tonight"
@MizJ, @Davesnothere Good thing it's an OLD punk song, LOL!!!!
@Davesnothere I have that on vinyl!
When the truth is written down in the books of history, we were destroyed as a nation from within by greedy spoiled religious fanaticism!!!

                                        It won"t be written down if the bastards in charge have anything to do with it. Their version will be TOTALLY different.
If they get sick all at once they would be adding burden to the medical system. How selfish and thoughtless they are.

                                        Here's the issue i have and i was part of the church for 30 years. The whole aspect of "God is going to save us' from this evil from Satan. If you believe your bible then it says plainly in Isaiah 45:7 that God is the creator of Good and Evil. So if you believe the Bible then God created the Evil. So we have to pray for mercy and for god to stop the evil that he has brought our way. However God created us that we should love the "So called Sin" that he is inflicting these plagues on us with . So God makes us to where it's difficult not to sin only to punish us with painful afflictions when we do sin. Why didn't god just make us where we wouldn't sin or Forgive us when we do with punishing us. I better stop now because i'm trying to use common sense with religion.
