A child was denied entry to school for not following the mask mandate. The parents are arguing that they should have a religious exemption. This sickens me. The same kind of people who say, "Think of the children!" whenever two men kiss on TV, now say "Screw the children!" where COVID is concerned. These people will literally sacrifice their children's lives for their religion.
It's just like the people who refuse to take their kids to doctors for treatable diseases, because their faith tells them to pray for the child instead. Except this may be worse, because the maskless kid could infect others, and lead to multiple deaths. How very Christian of you. If we give religious exemptions to mask wearing, where does that end? What other laws can I ignore?
I've always felt, believe what you want, worship how you want, as long as it doesn't hurt other people. But this hurts other people. The virus doesn't magically avoid your child just because you pray for it not to. If all it took to survive was faith, the COVID death rates would be a lot lower. Plenty of those who have died from the disease were religious.
"Why didn't you protect me from the virus, God?"
"What do you mean? I sent you protective masks and a vaccine!"
