"I'm covered in Jesus' blood" (video at link)

The mayor of Monroe, Ohio, has asked the pastors of Solid Rock Church to stop holding packed services and encourage their parishioners to stay home to help fight the growing coronavirus outbreak. But thanks to religious services being exempt under Gov. Mike DeWine’s stay-at-home order, the church has continued to hold in-person gatherings.

This week, CNN’s Gary Tuchman interviewed some of the church’s congregants, including one woman who explained that she enjoys supernatural protection from the virus and can travel wherever she wants.

“I wouldn’t be anywhere else,” the woman said, referring to the church.

“Aren’t you concerned you can infect other people if you get sick inside?” Tuchman asks.

“No,” the woman responds. “I’m covered in Jesus’ blood.”

2. Elitist Christians. Notice how their pastor regurgitates tRump's "fake news" bullshit.

We really can’t afford the conceit of Christian beliefs right now.

They are the beliefs of a dimwit with a fool for a pastor. My city is full of Trump-loving fundy churches but they've all been closed for several weeks.

If it weren't for that fact these MAGAt smoothbrains will be spreading Trump Lung to the rest of us, the vulnerable, and medical providers who are taking one for the team trying to keep the rest of us from dying, I wouldn't shed any tears for those who deliberately subjected themselves to natural selection...
