But to risk people's lives for money—when what we need is truth, tests, and time—is grotesque. And to invoke Easter to do so is theologically abhorrent. /1
God—or however we name the ineffable goodness and love—is where the people are. /2
But God is *not* in misguided edicts that threaten the lives of the most vulnerable among us. /4
To celebrate Easter by packing people together is worship the cross, not the empty tomb. /6
We should not be in sanctuaries on Easter, we should be sheltering in place, taking care of the people in our households. /7
And, every day we can, we should dance with our children, hug our partners, and celebrate our precious lives. /9
Leave religious work to the qualified. /10
