Propaganda and the Church

Lies upon lies were told during that surreal epoch now known as "Covid". Sadly, most professing Christians proved to be quite susceptible to propaganda. We may think we are immune it it and above it, but what does the evidence suggest? Aside from a few bright spots here and there, most churches believed the lies, dutifully shut down and only re-opened when Caesar gave permission. We would be fools to think that this won't happen again. It might be a little different next time -- it might not be a novel virus -- but there will be a next time. The question is: Did we learn anything, or are we poised to repeat the same folly all over again?
