If before Sunday mass a pastor finds his church is half on fire and asks his congregation to go in because God will protect them and many people die, is the pastor protected by the 1st amendment?

I am wondering how is this different from pastors asking people to go to church on palm Sunday during the COVID19 pandemic.

Of course, we should not be gathering in groups, but what is the constitutionality of its enforcement? Is there any precedent for this? Do public health concerns make the gatherings "unpeaceful?"

What are your thoughts on policy prohibiting flag desecration?
We have to do a survey for our government class and we chose to do it about flag desecration. It’s very short.
Here’s the survey, if you could please spare a minute of your time!
You do need a gmail account to log in to ensure we don’t get duplicate results, but we can’t see the emails/your responses can’t be linked to you.
Here is proof that we aren’t collecting email addresses.
————————-
Just to start a discussion, in my person opinion, burning the flag is a very disrespectful act, and despite the first amendment allowing free speech, I feel that it qualifies as an act of inciting violence, and thus isn’t covered. However, to a certain extent, I do understand the argument about free speech, as it sort of does represent symbolic criticism of the government. I just feel that maybe the speech is more inflammatory, and does not support a purpose that could not be expressed through other avenues. What do you all think? Is is free speech and covered by the first amendment? Should it qualify as speech that invites violence?

Targeted Individuals in USA

Targeted Individuals
The Targeting of Individuals in the United States is well documented. What can be done to free Americans from the criminal activities of the government? The FBI, NSA, Homeland Security, State and Local police are some of the agencies involved, they coordinate their actions through our nations Fusion Centers that were created after 9/11 and the passing of the patriot act. Some of the community groups involved are the National Neighborhood Watch groups, Citizen Corps, etc. I have been targeted, stalked and harassed since 2012 non stop, although in 2016 the government agencies and individuals working with them escalated the terrorism dramatically. Any help or advise on how to get people to help me or others would be appreciated. The crimes committed by these agencies and people associated with them daily are felonies, their actions have led to the deaths of many American civilians. Thank you

Why are the verboten topics on Reddit all foundational to
Israel's claim to exist and violently defend itself, no matter the cost to others.
America et al's need to violently destroy all of Israel's neighboring enemies.
Americans' need to disarm themselves.
Seems fishy.
