Why is it that some religions believe that Covid restrictions don’t apply to them?

[JP_]

So, not illegal or against any Covid rules then? Stupid possibly, but not illegal.

No, not illegal. But this thread isn't about obeying laws, it's about people doing what is right, or wrong. We really are not in a place to judge others.

Yep, Johnbey posted a picture of people NOT breaking any laws so that was completely irrelevant to the thread but you saw a chance to whinge about a government slogan that you didn’t like. End of story.
If you’re that bothered about the eat out to help out slogan, start a thread of your own about it.

I don't need to, it's already been discussed in this thread.
Because you don't like a relevant issue being discussed in this thread is hardly justification for me starting a new thread.

But this thread isn't about obeying laws,

It is. It says so in the thread title.

Blimey, I’ve attracted the 'off topic' twins!

And jonbey showed that disrespect for sensible behaviour is not the sole domain of any particular group.
For sure, eating out to help out was not illegal, but it was not sensible either.
In fact the government actually advised people to behaviour foolishly.
Here in France, strict social distancing rules still applied, at that time, including mask wearing, avoiding gatherings. etc.

**** all to do with disrespect for sensible behaviour. To do with certain religious groups totally and utterly disrespecting and ignoring Covid laws.

Following on from the wedding where an alleged 400 guests attended, we now have thousands, yes, thousands of Orthodox Jews attending a funeral in defiance of Covid restrictions. Ignorant swines.

[Ihavenojob]

jonbey listed a picture of crowds eating out, in summer, to illustrate that the behaviour is not limited to any religion.

Probably several religions featured in that picture, but mainly one age group, spot the OAP.

The younger generation today have no common sense, want it all, want it now.

The answer is simple - "God will protect them"...

I visited Israel a few years ago and got the impression from our guides that Haredi were not very popular with the secular & ordinary Jews as they spent all day praying & living on handouts, used to see quite a lot in the markets hassling for donations

 

[Mottie]

I visited Jerusalem many, many years ago and went looking for that so-called 'wailing wall'. In my ignorance, I thought it was a wall that made a wailing noise. As we got near I could hear it wailing and when I got even nearer, I noticed it was a cat squaring up to another one! True story, honest!

I hope they had their heads covered
