Roy Moore, the former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice and two-time U.S. Senate candidate, will serve as an adviser for a Central pastor, and his church, during expected litigation over the religious leader's defiance of state orders limiting public gatherings to control the spread of the novel coronavirus.I think I have an idea of what is going on with birds like these clowns, as well as Jerry Falwell, Jr.: They look at the coronavirus in China, New York city and Italy and they believe that the virus is attacking communists, heathens and papists, that because they believe in the one true version of Jesus, that Their Dear and Fluffy Lord will protect them from the virus.
That didn't work for one guy, but faith is generally immune to evidence and reason.
I suspect their greed has a lot to do with it. Con artist Kenneth Copeland urged his followers to continue tithing. Empty pews mean a pause in the flow of that sweet, sweet cash.

Let me get this straight. Religionists, hire a Pedophile, to defend their right to have meetings, during a National Emergency, with a Pandemic raging?
ReplyDeleteNow that is some "bat shit" crazy stuff.
A question though, do they have a right to infect people?

Leo, their greed has everything to do with it. You can ask people to tithe from home, but they won't pay as much if their neighbors aren't watching. If they really cared about their members' welfare, they wouldn't be demanding their money.
ReplyDeleteThese bozos are experts at what they do. Contemptible, but masters of the art.
See my previous posts about pop in law. He is all of the above. He actually got to meet Kenneth Copeland at a prophecy " conference " it's a great story but I just ate breakfast.
ReplyDeleteAt least he got his ass kicked in the senatorial primary.
