Western District of Kentucky, Judge Justin Walker :
“ The Court does not mean to impugn the perfectly legal business of selling alcohol, nor the legal and widely enjoyed activity of drinking it. But if beer is “essential,” so is Easter. “

Judge Justin Walker.....
“ The Free Exercise clause protects sincerely held religious beliefs that are at times not ‘acceptable, logical, consistent, or comprehensible to others.’ “
“ But when considering the rights guaranteed by the Free Exercise Clause, it doesn’t matter that the government burdening the religious practices of others “consists entirely of the pure-hearted, if the law it enacts in fact singles out a religious practice for special burdens.”
“ At the same time, the Court does not for a moment doubt that for some believers Easter means gathering together, if not hand in hand or shoulder to shoulder, then at least car fender to car fender. “

District Judge goes to the very heart of any order labeling all other businesses essential except for churches.
“ Nor is there any evidence that churches are less essential than every other business that is currently allowed to be open – liquor stores among them. “

Others do not have to believe in HEALING. I do.
“ You do not have to share On Fire’s faith to believe that celebrating that faith while gathered together in praise of the One they believe healed the sick & conquered death will bring hope to many in need of hope this Holy Week. “
