We need a new religion.

I am going to on a little rant here and I hope that I don’t piss people off. What I really want to do is to get people to start thinking.

We are in the middle of a pandemic. People are dying. There are many ways that we can help save people’s lives. One way is to wear a mask. Another way is to social separate. We should also avoid large gathering were the virus could easily spread. These are three pretty simple things to do. Now there is a segment of our society that says that you can’t make me wear a mask. There is a segment of our society that says I don’t have to social distance. There is also a segment of our society that says you cannot stop me from congregating. One of those groups that are saying all three of those things is the Church.

 Now I will say not all Churches don’t care about the masses but the Catholic Church went all the way to the Supreme Court so they could still assemble for their so called freedom of religion. Now that is where I feel that religion fails the masses. The man that they supposable follow was the one who said to love they neighbor as much as they love themselves. As I stated we are in the middle of a pandemic. The Church should be leading the way not making matters worse. They should be telling everyone to wear a mask so you do not get your neighbors and family sick. If you love your neighbor you should be telling everyone they should be social distancing making sure no one gets sick. The Church should be saying because we love you as Jesus has instructed us we will not congregate until it can be done without risk of people getting sick. In a nut shell they should not be waiting for the government to tell them to do the right thing. They should be leading the way by doing the right thing.

Since the right thing is not being done maybe we should start over again with a new organization that really believes in what he said. I may not be a good Christian but I do often ask myself “What would Jesus do”.
