Mask Burning Rallies
I was hesitant whether to post this news in the Coronavirus forum or the Creation Science forum, but I realized its timeless quality relates more to Christian Creation Science rather than to whatever plague God decides to create the given day.
This event really looks like fun - are we planning anything similar in Freehold? It really drives the point that we do not believe in vain babblings of secular science (1 Timothy 6:20), but put our full faith in God. He decides who gets sick, who dies, and who lives, there's nothing we can do to prevent it. Therefore, masks, hand-washing, and other sanitary precautions are followed only by hellbound unbelievers, who helplessly try to go against God's Will.

Idaho protesters burn masks at state Capitol rally
About 100 demonstrators burned masks outside Idaho's Capitol in Boise on Saturday as a statement against pandemic restrictions, according to authorities and people who tweeted from the scene.
No one was arrested, and organizers had permits, but the rally was under review because a fire was started, Idaho State Police said in a statement.
"During the event, an open flame was ignited in a barrel," police said. "Those involved with the event were informed both before and during the event that open flames are not allowed on State Capitol grounds."
Video and photos showed children present and even participating.
A point person for the rally, conservative activist Darr Moon, the husband of Republican state Rep. Dorothy Moon, said it was one of multiple Burn the Mask rallies across the state Saturday organized by several groups. He posted photos on Facebook of a similar event in Rexburg.
Moon said because the state is mostly rural it has had low Covid-19 infection numbers, and masks and other pandemic restrictions aren't always needed.
"Certain health districts are mandating or certain towns are mandating wearing masks and we just don't have the numbers here," he said. "The Covid numbers are very low. We've flattened the curve a long time ago and people want to go back to work, they want to have a normal life."
According to the Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center about 1 in 4 people who've tested for the virus in the past week in Idaho have turned up positive. That's down from the state's all time high the week of Dec. 6, when two-thirds of those tested were positive.

ish Toronto. Some brave people defied police orders and held a protest there. I'll include the clip for you. Who knows? Perhaps they helped to inspire the mask burning ceremony?
