Targeting Christians, Not Jews.

The first House of Worship to go up in flames for defying social distancing orders and refusing to suspend religious gatherings that go over a prescribed number is not a synagogue, thank heavens, but a Christian Church in the South.

A note was left at the scene, calling worshippers hypocrites (the word was misspelled) and telling them they can't meet now.  Firefighters are classifying the blaze as arson.

I wonder if this too might be a hate crime.
I wonder if these affected Christians will cry out to the nation for justice, and if other religious denominations -- like Hasidic Jewish people -- will condemn this hate crime aimed at their Christian brothers and sisters.  Perhaps we will see more than just cursory coverage in the NYT?

The Plot Against American Christians...
Maybe Philip Roth was on to something afterall?
---------------------------------
Stay safe, be strong this Memorial Day weekend!
Our families now divided will come together stronger than ever when the distancing orders lift, and we can reunite as families and congregations to celebrate the gifts we have been given.
It looks as if we've gotten into the revenge and violence start of the cycle, where rulebreakers in certain regions will face vigilante justice.  Don't be a vigilante. Don't be a victim.  Work for justice, for all. As in, the American way.  Don't just grab what you can for your own... they won't be able to keep it if they didn't get it playing by the rules.  Funny how it always works out that way when you ultimately check ownership titles.

Best to work hard today, play by the rules, and take care of your own.
Memorial Day weekend in this country is our summer kickoff, and this summer, anyone who doesn't have their eyes toward the fall and winter season following is simply a fiddling grasshopper who better hope somebody else in the family is working this season, playing by the rules, and socking it away for sicklier times...

Good luck to all, and God bless.
May the odds be ever in your favour.
