Philosophy John Locke on Freedom
2020.04.12 01:16
https://www.johnlocke.org/landing-page/a-state-of-perfect-freedom/
The law of nature tells us that, while you are certainly free to pillage the nearby village,
you are likely to face retribution from whom you’ve plundered. Therefore, we can say
that perfect freedom is the ability to order one’s life as one sees fit, so long as it does not
violate another’s natural rights.
Should people go to the church on Easter Sunday in the midst of the corona virus pandemic
to exercise their religious rights?

I would like to think that God, as almighty as he is, can reach or bless anyone no matter
where the person is on Easter Sunday. I don't know why this becomes an issue at this time.
If a person suffers a lack of faith in God, he may feel like he has to go to a church.
Then, the irony is how such a person can have faith in the church?
Maybe, he has more faith in the church than his God.
May God bless me and him both.

Couldn't agree more, Doc, couldn't agree more!
To me, it sounds quite familiar.
I heard most of the Korean churchgoers in my area go to the church to listen to the pastor's sermon
- 은혜 많이 받아? - and further, make a congregation in it's interim to study pastor's sermon more!
So they look like they go to the church not for the worship the God and read the Bible but worship the pastor,
I understand- hopefully I am wrong.

P.S. BTW, I dare not to justify my lousy practice not to accompany my wife to attend Sunday mass but this time
I feel I am fully excused with the listening St Mathew's Passion all day through good Friday and today for Easter!

Stuck on stupid’: Ex-RNC chair slams ‘ridiculous’ Florida governor DeSantis for allowing Easter services during a pandemic
I would like to add, "Leaders no longer lead. They follow the people. People do not want to be reprimanded. They love to be praised."

Doc, the leaders don't lead any longer. They follow Trump, not people.
The leaders have to save their asses under the current regime.
It's not the people who don't want to be reprimanded but love to be praised.
It's the doings of Trump, not the people, under "The Trump" regime.
As you correctly pointed out, the perfect freedom of anyone should not violate others' freedom/right
so that the right to exercise their freedom/religion to risk to increase the spreading of the virus
as a whole should not be allowed!
Indeed if anyone takes the risk to get the infection they should stay at home and die instead of seeking
medical care only to give harm to others including the medical care team!

P.S. I heard the Governor of Arkansas allowed or encouraged the people to the church to celebrate Easter!
I presume they are the Southern Baptists! 후진놈들!!!!! Do you know they taught/warned their children
that Catholic is a monster with three eyes to scare them?
One famous thoracic surgeon originally from North Carolina confessed me along with his reminiscence
of childhood and I really couldn't close my mouth! So you may pray hard for them to go to heaven
or wherever they want with Coronavirus!
