Extreme rightwing pastor Kent Christmas (yes, that is his real name) is demanding to know why more big Democrats havent died from COVID-19 yet.
The antigay, anti-vax pastor helms Regeneration Nashville with his wife, Candy. In a recent sermon, he questioned why more people who are vaccinated arent dying, while those who choose to remain unvaccinated are keeling over in record numbers.
I cant think of one big Democrat thats died from the coronavirus, Christmas ranted. I cant think of one billionaire thats died of coronavirus. Doesnt that make you wonder?
Bill Gates is fine! George Soros is fine!

(43,430 posts)With advances in LGBTQ rights, more people feel safe and comfortable to be their selves and come out to those around them. Unsurprisingly, nowadays, most people in the U.S. will know of someoneacquaintance, family member, work colleaguewho is gay. For one televangelist, this is proof that the demonic spirit of homosexuality is succeeding in taking over Christian children.
A clip of right-wing pastor Kent Christmas, founder of Regeneration Nashville in Nashville, TN, delivering a sermon to an arena audience has prompted lots of comments online.

We have all of this going on for the last couple of 20, 30 years. And while were building the biggest churches, never have Christians children been more taken over by homosexuality than they are right now, said Kent, who was speaking at an evangelical summit last Friday in Washington DC. If I asked each and every one of you to stand that has a son, daughter, niece, nephew, brother or sister that is gay, half of you would stand up in this building.
Because it is a demonic spirit thats come after our seed! And the church that God is raising up in this hour is going to have authority over that! Were not gonna tell em theyre going to hell, were not gonna tell em theyre scum. Were gonna tell em that theyre born of God, that God will set them free, and change them by the power of the holy ghost.

(14,919 posts)"An apparently homeless man demolished an anti-vaccine protesters argument on Saturday ― and he only needed six words to do it.
A clip posted on Twitter by @FilmThePoliceLA shows a woman walking down Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles with a bullhorn claiming the coronavirus is a hoax.
At one point, she asks rhetorically, Do you seeall of these homeless people around? Are they dead in the street with COVID? Hell no. Why?
The unidentified man pipes up with a pretty good explanation: Because Im vaccinated, you dumb fuck.
