Chas.
the problem is that he's trying to sell it as a compromise of sorts. This is $$$ that most churches can't afford. And I'm still trying to figure out what authority the state has to tell churches that they can't have security teams in the first place, but I've been trying to figure that out for more years than I care to count.
It doesn't matter what side of the partisan aisle it's coming from. If it assumes that religious freedom depends on permission from the state, then it is all cut from the same cloth, and the cretins who want this compromise are no better than the cretins who want to see Christian bakers driven into bankruptcy for refusing to make a wedding cake for a ceremony which violates their Christian consciences. In fact, the security industry demonstrates to us that it is as statist as any deep-state apparatchik.
good words as always TAM
