Gov. Northam, It’s Not Up to You to Tell People of Faith How They Can Worship

Jake Lambert   "During a press conference Thursday, Gov. Ralph Northam, D-Va., took it upon himself to tell the faithful not only how they should worship, but also shamed them for wanting to worship with fellow believers. 

“ 'The holidays are typically times of joy and community. We gather together, we celebrate our faith, and we celebrate with family,” Northam said during the press conference. 

"The Democrat governor of Virginia went on to say that people of faith don’t need to be in a church to worship God. 

“ 'But this year we need to think about what is truly the most important thing. Is it the worship or the building? For me, God is wherever you are. You don’t have to sit in the church pew for God to hear your prayers. Worship with a mask on is still worship,” he said. “Worship outside or worship online is still worship.”

"Here’s the thing—it’s more than OK for Northam to share how he chooses to worship. 

"But, the governor of Virginia, or any other politician for that matter, has no business telling others how to worship. " . . .   Source material can be found at this site.
