Virginia Gov Announces New Restrictions - Targeting Churches, Christians

VA Gov. Northam Announces New Restrictions: You Don’t Have To Sit In Church For God To Hear Your Prayers

Virginia’s Democratic Governor Ralph Northam announced some strict new COVID-19 regulations on Thursday, sending a brutal message to Christians specifically by telling them to stay out of churches over Christmas.“This year, we need to think about what is truly the most important thing. Is it the worship or the building?” Northam said during a press conference.“For me, God is wherever you are. You don’t have to sit in the church pew for God to hear your prayers.”

The Democrat went on to call on faith leaders to “lead the way” and “set an example” for their communities.

However, the leftwing governor made sure to admit that he doesn’t actually have the power to legally limit in-person worship ceremonies, citing a recent Supreme Court decision against the state of New York that makes it so that he is unable to do that.

Northam then called out churches instead of all places of worship, claiming that there have been reports of Christians not social distancing or wearing masks inside them.

“I have heard reports. They don’t use distancing inside the church. They are not wearing masks. Quite frankly we know that a lot of the spread is coming from this,” he said.

Not stopping there, Northam also put a curfew in place, demanding that people be inside from 12:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.

In addition, bars and restaurants will need to stop selling alcohol at 10:00 p.m. in accordance with Northam’s new rules, and social gatherings must be limited to ten people, down from 25 before.

Finally, Northam has ordered the people of Virginia to wear masks indoors, even if they are remaining socially distant.
