Christian megachurch cancels ‘faith healing’ service in response to coronavirus outbreak
https://deadstate.org/christian-megachurch-cancels-faith-healing-service-in-response-to-coronavirus-outbreak/

Members of this prominent northern California church believe they can heal the sick and raise the dead through prayer. Even so, the church is encouraging followers to wash their hands and is urging anyone who falls ill to stay home.

Bethel church is even canceling missionary trips and imploring its faith healers to stay away from local hospitals, The Sacramento Bee reports.

...

The church is perhaps most known for its response to the death of two-year-old Olive Heiligenthal last year when hundreds of members gathered and tried to raise her from the dead. Thousands of church members posted the hashtag #WakeUpOlive on Instagram.

Wow

3. Most of the time their ludicrous lack of awareness is more irritating, but I LOL at this one...

[defacto7]

4. I'd laugh out loud if it wasn't so stupid.

Well, I will LOL anyway. Hypocrisy is their core principle.

The only good in this is that they are doing the correct thing and not doubling down on blind faith.

5. as my teenage daughter would say, "Wait. What?"

[OhNo-Really]

6. They must be doing it wrong!

Ego & greed are miracle roadblocks.

7. Hedging their bets

Just in case there is no God

[gratuitous]

8. And if they didn't cancel their service, your response would be . . . ?

Pretty much the same, am I right?

I hold no brief for the people at Bethel, but it's nice to see everyone ridicule them for doing the right thing.

11. It's merely pointing out the irony in their "faith healing"

I do applaud them for canceling certain things but they don’t see irony in that, themselves

9. Rather than mock this, just be glad they are responding with common sense

and listening to sound medical advice. Otherwise, this could be like the tragic exacerbation of the crisis in Daegu, South Korea by the messianic cult megachurch. I am willing to give them some credit for stepping outside their dogma and facing reality. I don't think it is helpful to laugh at them when they do so.
