Elected Officials in America Have Outlawed Church!

April 18, 2020 8:38am

Pastors and congregants in many states have been arrested for the "crime" of exercising their First Amendment religious Rights.

In Chincoteague, Virginia, police who obviously hold our Constitution in contempt, raided Lighthouse Fellowship Church and charged Pastor Kevin Wilson with a crime.

What was the crime? He held religious services for 16 people in a church designed to hold 293 worshipers. That means the church was at 5.5% of its capacity. It was 94.5% empty! And parishioners were sitting more than six feet apart.

But it violated the almighty Dictator Ralph Northam's decree from on high that church services have no more than ten people present regardless of the size of the building. Even beyond the obvious First Amendment violation, can you think of anything more arbitrary and capricious???

Liberty Counsel is defending Chincoteague Pastor Wilson and other pastors in Florida, Kentucky, and Mississippi against these blatantly unconstitutional arrests.

I spoke with Mat Staver, the founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel on my radio program this morning. A recording is archived online at www.TheMikeBatesShow.com/podcasts/200418

If you care about our Constitutional Rights, it is worth the time to listen. The Mat Staver interview occurs in Segment 3.

If you enjoy history, the first segment is a recording of my 2017 interview with Dick Cole, Jimmy Doolittle's co-pilot during the Doolittle Raid over Japan that occurred 78 years ago today.
