People have been giving cash to these kind of asshat snakeoil salesmen for centuries...

The Catholic Church in the Dark Ages was responsible for the repression of human potential for a millennium. Revivalist preachers have roamed America (and Europe and the WORLD) for at least the last 2000+ years.

Until the common man is embarrassed enough to admit that while these fools are LOUD examples of the problem, the REAL problem is giving social currency to these insane belief systems in the first place. Commanding god to judge the virus is not a bug in this circus...its the fucking FEATURE! There is no distance between the two - the quiet priest or minister collecting a Sunday offering is just guerrilla marketing version of the televangelist who wants more money faster and uses advertising to do it...

Mankind cannot advance beyond adolescence until we cast off childish beliefs and boogeymen, period.

Praise Jesus. God told me to say that. After I prayed on it and talked to him. Opiate of the masses.

Of course, god still hasn't gotten around to cancer, but I'm sure Covid-19 is queued up.

This sort of medieval nonsense would be funny, except that it's so real for these people. Tragic is a better word.

My Mother is a paranoid schizophrenic.


She left Southern Baptist to become Assembly of God/ so she can exhibit her illness in like minded company.




I became Buddhist.

The virus will eventually stop affecting our lives as much as it is right now. Things will eventually go back to normal, and this freak show clown will take credit for it.

Maybe... just maybe... it's not Satan and just unfortunate set of circumstances
Maybe God has better things to do with his time than take orders from a charlatan
