The mask issue does not hold up to scientific debate because the studies (Pre-2020) all indicate zero or detrimental effect of mask usage. And the virus is many times smaller than the fibers in the masks.

The mask issue does not hold up to common sense or naturalism because our grandmothers would have slapped a mask on us when we got a cold instead of torturing us with a mustard rub.

The mask issue does not hold up to “loving people well”, as my pastor likes to intone, because it is a stumbling block to folks coming back to his mask enforcement, it causes us to sin by coming before God with a veil (see 2 Cor.3 and James 4:17). Nor does it it show faith that God will protect us from the plague (Psalm 91) and that God is our Healer and He has our days numbered. Plus, all the New Testament writings on Freedom from man made regulations....(See Galatians 5, Colossians 2) Furthermore, it is damaging to people—NOT “loving people” to force them to wear masks.

So the only way they have been able to do the masks is by mandates and enforcement and brainwashing.

We have to begin to make these cases with folks. It’s not about rebellion and selfishness, as they like to say in order to minimize our arguments—it is about Scientific facts/ historical record/ biblical truths/ compassion/ child welfare/ etc. —pick the one that speaks to your audience and use it to influence them. Be a crying Lib, if you must, to bring home your point with a Lib. Pull out every example of harm it is causing young people, old folks, mom and pop businesses, etc. and use it to show how [[They]] are harming us. You have to show you care about people more than they do. Because, honestly—we do!
