Let me first start by stating... I'm not bashing Christians. I am one myself! And, although there are many us here, there is a problem with them/us due to our nature to not only love our enemies (I have no problem with that) but to TRUST others as well. I'm noticing this as so many in my own church have been hit with serious complications from covid. They are going to hospitals to get well... trusting in the hospitals and staff. They realize there is evil in the world, but they can't wrap their heads around the fact you we can literally trust no one, no entity, especially government entity, at this point. They trust their doctors advise (ventilator/remdisivir protocol), even when shown evidence to the contrary... because they are a doctor. Many don't do their research, many don't CARE to do the research, because they simply trust. And, really, how do you blame them? Are we saying the doctors and nurses don't 'care'??? I do think most of them do care. They also don't see the war we are in for our freedoms, and are giving up their freedoms (all too willingly) in order to respect the government mandates. I have many Christian friends who have gotten the jab without a second thought... why??? Trust.

Faith vs fear.
A good thing to bring up is why they are doing what they do. If they are acting out of fear, they can (and should) work on building up their faith. Faith banishes fear, allowing anyone to think through whatever they are facing.
Closing churches is one of the biggest examples of this. Any pastor who closed their doors in abject obedience to government, especially if they are still doing so after consideration and evidence, follows the wrong authority.
