Recent (last few months) laws, namely the “stay at home order”, has cause me to rethink my adherence to strictly follow civil laws, in order to avoid venial sin. (Clearly breaking the law can be mortal as well, but many people break civil laws like not strictly following the speed limit, or letting your 20 year old take a sip of your beer, or not wearing a seatbelt, stuff like that.) I willingly followed my local stay at home order for a few months, but as time went on, I started to recognize that this whole situation might have more political motives than most people realize. People are allowing the government to literally control your every move in order to protect you from a virus that, in new studies, has been found to be 98-99% survival rate? Nah. I’m sorry. I’m not going to get close to strangers or touch things without sanitizing, but the government is not going to tell me I can’t go and visit my family. Especially when they are in the same mindset as me. I truly believe that it is an unjust law and unconstitutional to tell me, “you may not leave your house unless you absolutely NEED to.” In addiction, many sherifs in my state have said that they will not uphold the governers order. So, if I truly believe that these laws are unjust and unconstitutional, will I still be sinning by not following them?
