Anti-gay pastor who blamed Homosexuality and "Lack of Virgins" for COVID-19 has died from COVID-19

[packman]

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."

2. Why was he hung up on the brides? What percentage of the grooms were virgins?

There's one less deeply inhumane chauvinist and satanic bigot in the world.

17. Where does that '5%' number come from?

Personal survey at weddings?

'Now before you get married, I must ask you this question . . . '

5. The much bigger judgement came: it was endtime for Mr. Baxter.

[lindysalsagal]

6. Another sexually obsessed/repressed xtian psycho

I wish he were actually getting judged in death. He was another very hurtful churcher. They do so much harm. He's not waking up from this wakeup call, and probably, neither are his brainwashed followers.

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

These fools are not nice people if they go where they go!

16. News Flash!

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?

[samnsara]

19. Looks like he knew his lifestyle and his flock.

Looks like he knew his lifestyle and his flock.

20. So...

By his measure “the sexually immoral.” should have included Trump.
And he did not. He supported him.
Hypocrite.

[Grokenstein]
