Wtf. Perks are win-win. It's a trivial expense to allow employees to use existing company assets, but it's very valuable to the employees. Boss gets happy employees for less expense. Both sides are happy. No, that's bad because:
"Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God," the passage began. "And those which exist are established by God. Therefore, whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves."
Ok, I didn't see anything about perks there, but this logic supports gassing Jews (what the local authority wanted) and condemns smuggling them out of Germany (opposing God apparently).
These people are dangerously insane.
- Lawful neutral, the ever ally of lawful evil
Not surprised that the governor who went doctor-shopping for an anti-vax surgeon-general would also find an anti-worker religious figure to speak on his government's behalf.
Is this park some sort of deity or what is going on with all of this stuff constantly being brought up?
- Who cares about some perks you get for a park?
This is the entire reason religion still exists after all. It is mercilessly persecuted and subdued by those in power as long as it threatens them. Once they manage to get control and influence over the religion, they promote the hell out of it because it's an easy way to control people.
Too many people forget that the Bible was written and edited by people who once controlled Europe. If course they didn't want people to resist their authority. This is the problem with blindly trusting a source.
In the name of God, you are being saved. Please do not resist.

Out of curiosity, anyone know what these park perks are? I couldn't find it in the article at all
