Another tale of prayer not working out - Idiot who knew best and it hospitalized him with his wife's survival in doubt

A Florida man who initially believed the coronavirus was a “fake crisis” that was “blown out of proportion” is now hospitalized along with his wife — and is sounding a cautionary note about the deadly bug.

“I thought it was maybe the government trying something, and it was kind of like they threw it out there to kinda distract us,” Brian Hitchens told WPTV from his hospital bed.

“I’d get up in the morning and pray and trust in God for his protection, and I’d just leave it at that. There were all these masks and gloves. I thought it looks like a hysteria,” he added.

2. He keeps saying "I thought"

but it's clear that thinking isn't in his skill set.

Kudos on winning Vaguest Conspiracy Theory though, dimbulb. Enjoy your prize.

4. Who told you it was a hoax, Brian?

And why didn't your almighty God above protect you and so many other believers who raised your voices to the heavens?

6. They didn't have enough "faith."

...according to their twisted logic.

5. It seems as though his wife has been on a vent for 3 weeks

7. Stupid, arrogant ass!

His wife is likely to die and he's OK with that because he's going to live. Maybe she would have preferred that outcome too, shithead!

How many other people did he infect on his inevitable route to hospital? Stupid, ignorant, lazy moron! It's thoughtless jerks like this loser who will continue to propagate the spread of the virus.

8. Well well...

Reality has a nasty way of biting, doesn’t it?

9. Hey, Hitchens!

You'd pray to god for protection from something that you called a hoax.

In normal people, that's called cognitive dissonance. Those two thoughts, trust in god and the virus is a hoax, don't go together. If it's a hoax, you don't need protection. Get it?

But you'll never comprehend that.

Hope your wife gets better, though.

10. Just another "crisis actor."

Right?

11. Did he base his belief on trump, Hannity, Limbaugh, his church or farts in the wind?

12. I prayed to God for protection and all God gave me were masks and gloves!

13. "I know that she forgives me and I know that God forgives me."

Pretty presumptuous on both counts.

[SoonerPride]

15. No. Your god is punishing you you dummy!

He gave you a brain so you would listen to scientists and doctors. You failed to do that and he smote you!


If only there was a god and it worked that way. Sigh.

17. And he was an Uber driver.

According to the article he was an Uber driver.

Which makes me wonder how many others he might have infected.

18. So... he didn't wear a mask, and now his wife's on a vent and may not survive, but oh well,

he's forgiven, so all's well that ends well, right? He survived, he's good with God, it's a win-win!

19. Maybe his story will help someone, somewhere.
