And you know there were Covid cases... they hid them.
Are you really that gullible?

First, you said Grace Church sued the city/county for all that money. I explained it was not about money but was about being a church which gathers people weekly and to get their parking spot back. The church was sued first and the parking spot was shut by the state so they had to defy the order and fight back.
Which brings to the second point, why did they defy the state order? Because they felt like not being able to gather was against God's order. So it's just as simple as them choosing to obey God's order over the State's order. If you're going to argue God never ordered us to meet weekly, that's another subject. I'm strictly talking about their lawsuit case because you first asked about it along with wrong information. BTW, if you're all about following the order, they won the case. So the order is that they're allowed to meet regularly weekly.
Third, can you find the fact they were hiding the Covid cases? They actually had some cases. They were like 3 or 4 people infected which was posted here by me as well. Have you seen more cases from there? Just because your logic says meeting thousands of people weekly must bring more cases, it doesn't mean that really happened. Even if it did, where did you find the information they were "hiding" it?

The lack of true bible teaching in US churches or anywhere around the world to be honest resulted as such. Too much emotionalism and ?church cultures? took over while the actual teachings about God or Jesus have been lost for centuries. Hence people especially young people tend to leave churches when they question the hypocrisy of such churches.

So as the population ages, people will be less religious in the US. I have no problem with that, nor do I have a problem with anyone who chooses to go to church, mosques, temples, whatever it may be. My brother's family goes to church, my family doesn't, and we never push our beliefs on each other. When people start pushing their beliefs on others is where problems begin and people start being dicks to each other.
