Going Maskless, Faithfully, Criminally

THE ONLY PEOPLE in the convenience store not wearing a mask were a young man wearing a T shirt which said "grow your faith" and his cute ten year old daughter. a surprisingly high percentage of maskers, since I live in an area dominated by conservative Christians, who of late have taken to going about mask free, taking their cur from God and Trump. While shopping maskless and advising everyone else to grow faith, the young man, seemingly smug and content, likely not a whit for the viral welfare of his daughter nor anyone else. Why bother? Merely grow your faith and all will be well. Arguably, he and everyone else would be better of by growing faith in science, which, since science proves everything it alleges, requires no faith, but only intelligence, education, acceptance of reality, and understanding.the gentleman's T shirt I presumed referred to God, Jesus, the christian faith, or all the above. there exists, I presumed, a reasonable chance that he supports Trump, that presidential paragon of Christian virtue, to, say, Hillary Clinton, a mere Methodist and faithful spouse to an unfaithful husband. Nowadays politically conservatives and faith growers make strange bedfellows, as they always have. For not wearing a face mask in public during a pandemic and for exposing his daughter needlessly to potential death, the faith grower should be labeled a criminal, and treated like one, but won't be, in freedom's land of the faithful. In traditional American conservative faith based culture, if you are black gay, non christian, democratic socialist, or if you value science more than religion, the true religion, you are out cast, subject to all manner of reprisals from the germ laden mouths of virus spreading criminal conservative caucasian Christiandom. Your best defense is to lay low, and always wear a face mask in public, partly for the sake of disguise.
