Last November, Kimball unwittingly stirred up a storm of controversy when he tweeted his unhappiness over a COVID mandate in his home state of Washington that limited religious services and forbade worshipers from singing in church.
“Respectfully, I will never allow a Governor, or anyone, to stop me from SINGING, let alone sing in worship to my God. Folks, absolute POWER corrupts ABSOLUTELY. This is not about safety. It’s about POWER. I will respectfully disobey these unlawful orders,” he tweeted in response to Gov. Jay Inslee’s decision.

You weren't fired for being a Christian, you were fired for being a covidiot.

Judas Freaking Priest!! These people are miles beyond ridiculous. I'm pretty sure that any deities that might be out there can hear you singing, no matter where you might be.

5. I was at a Roman Catholic memorial service for my cousin. I sat in the back of the church.

There was a whole lot of singing and lot of people were wearing masks but I have one cousin whose family won't take the vaccine because they believe the whole aborted fetus connection. She has a high risk child (Downs Syndrome) so you'd think they'd be extra cautious. NON of them were wearing masks. Another cousin's wife has MS (that family ALL wore masks) so you'd think everyone would take that into consideration. Apparently not, though.

Yet another cousin is a critical care nurse who did a lot of time in the Covid ward. Of course, she was masked and keeping her distance from those who weren't.

We didn't go to the luncheon because, damn. I love all of my cousins but some of them need a hard shake.

All Catholics will be vaccinated. I know this Individual wasn’t Catholic but still wish all religions had the same thought as the pope.

How unfair is it that they cannot live in a country that does everything exactly the way they interpret their book of Fables?

Oh, the humanity!!
