Anti-LGBTQ+ televangelist Irving Baxter Jr. has died from COVID-19.
In March, Baxter claimed that a lack of virgins and homosexuality was to blame for the virus. He said, 5 percent of new brides in America are virgins. That means 95 percent have already committed fornication."
He also cited 1 Corinthians 6, which opposes homosexuals and the sexually immoral.
Baxter continued, God may be using this as a wake-up call. This coronavirus may be a privilege, because I will tell you right now, there is a much bigger judgment coming.
Irving appeared on the Christian television show, "End of the Age". He also founded Pentecostal Christian organization Endtime Ministries.
Also worth noting, Baxter was a staunch Trump supporter who said those who oppose Trump are not only "deeply inhumane" but also "satanic."

I keep thinking the virus will erradicate god. Science delivers: god is merely empty promises.

(5,395 posts)Pastor finds lack of virgins in his life upsetting.
Pastor observes Satan in many others around him, and finds it upsetting.
Pastor observes others don't echo his thinking or standards, and finds it upsetting.
Pastor threatens all those who don't think like him with Doom and Damnation, and finds thinking that not at all upsetting.
etc.
Honestly, where does this level of rigid thinking in monochrome values, come from? And why are they often part of a religious group?

And he did not. He supported him.
Hypocrite.
