Why (Not) Masking Matters: A Dissent by J. Chase Davis

 Why (Not) Masking Matters: A Dissent by J. Chase Davis

It is the public health officials playing theater now. It tells us that the general public knows that this pandemic does not justify the mandates themselves and only comply when mandated. It then comes back to what kind of people we want to be. As Christians, do we want to lead the way in showing the importance of virtue and civil resistance? We cannot settle for catering to mandates simply to ‘go along to get along.’ We need to model the theological convictions we have regarding the importance of human dignity and the limited power of the civil magistrate.

Great article on the limits to the Christian's duty to "honor the emperor."
