Are churches essential? [Spirituality & Religion]

If they can maintain social distancing are they really more dangerous than other businesses? Should people knowing the possible danger be allowed to decide!

I heard someone speaking on the news the other day, and I thought he had a very valid point. Walmart and Costco are allowed to be open, with masks and social distancing...(and social distancing is not even happening). There is NO crowd control at those places...and people just crowd in to the stores in any number they please. 3000 people a day go into those stores, touching everything.

If THAT is okay, what in heaven's name is wrong with opening up churches, with masks and social distancing? Eating is considered essential for survival...so I understand that food stores have to be open. But Democrat states are keeping churches closed while liquor stores and abortion clinics are allowed to be open...and I can't even get surgery on my extremely painful hand and wrist. I've been waiting since March and have had two doctors appointments cancelled.

So why...why in heck is sitting 6 feet apart, wearing a face mask, in church, different than groping through the coolers for your beer in the liquor stores and a thousand people all touching the same handles?
