--- title: The Problem with Coronavirus motto: Thoughts on the Coronavirus ---

Under the pretense of saving people from the devistation of 2019 Novel Coronavirus (nCoV 2019), Republicans have justified bribing voters with their own tax money, and Democrats have praised the halt of all meaningful activity. This power grabbing and fearmongering must come to an end. Here are just a few points on how the actions taken in the name of the Coronavirus violate Christian principles.

### God says “Go ye”

> And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15 (KJV)

#### But ‘they’ say “Stay home.”

### God says “Assemble”

> Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25 (KJV)

#### But ‘they’ say “No groups.”

### God says “The fear of man bringeth a snare.”

> The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe. Proverbs 29:25 (KJV)

#### But ‘they’ say “Wear a mask so you don't offend anyone.”

### God says “Greet one another”

> Greet one another with an holy kiss. II Corinthians 13:12 (KJV)

#### But ‘they’ say “No contact.”

### God says “Visit the fatherless and widows”

> Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:27 (KJV)

#### But ‘they’ say “Isolate the vulnerable.”

Who are ‘they?’ The CDC, the WHO, congress, legislatures, city councils, schoolteachers, pastors, your coworkers, your neighbors, that guy you met in the park. Anyone who preaches “social distancing,” and demands compliance with the gods of “science falsely so called” (I Timothy 6:20, KJV). It's time for born–again believers to ignore the bullies, scoffers, and regulators and reclaim the “liberty which we have in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 2:4, KJV), and get out of their homes and work the works of God.

Still not convinced? Listen to this pastor who's from California (of all places), who has way more skin in the game than I do.

Oh, and by the way, if there are any web designers reading, please take down the big red banners proving just how much you care about the ‘Rona. They're just plain annoying, and I've had to start writing custom uBlock filters to get rid of them.
