Social Crazy Christians: Pastors Defy COVID Restrictions [UPDATE: (Cis, White) Gays Behaving Badly]

[Ophydian]

Most churches here are doing their services on Facebook live. Not sure why they don’t just go that route and keep people safe.

It seems it’s red district churches defying orders to protect the almighty Trump.

1. Greedy? How so? Even the worst televangelists have Paypal. They don't need to gather to gather money. Oblivious I agree with.
2. What tenet of their faith are they transgressing?

It's enough to say they were stupid.

2. Love thy neighbour

Nice narrative you got there. I wonder how many gay bathhouse clients have died from COVID19 and other viruses.

A lot.



Unbelievably EVIL.

What the fuck?

It's pure math idiot.
1000 people convening is exponential spread compared to two dudes banging. Get some help.

It makes sense though, no? <45>

All the evangelists I know are nuts who share hoaxes all day on Facebook, and think coronavirus is a conspiracy to put a tattoo Bill Gates ID on them. They believe also they're protected by the blood of Christ.

Good stuff.

(it's people I knew 15 years ago before they became "born again", still have them on FB, I laugh a lot)

I feel bad for indoctrinated people.

 

[MVelsor]

Sounds pretty standard for the WR if we're being honest.

It's threadworthy.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

I hate to say it but I don’t feel bad for people who endanger other people.

I have a real hard time showing sympathy for these careless, dangerous people.

Well a christian church started the outbreak in France and another one did in South Korea, so...

The bloke from the Sth Korean one went to prison didn't he?

Lol. I posted those tweets when the whole Easter Worshipper situation was going down. That was one of the fakest outrages I’ve ever seen. I also posted various sources using “Ramadan worshippers” which was apparently a phrase that would never be used.

Not necessarily.


Prior to his diagnosis, Scott may have also unknowingly exposed about 300 people to the virus at a funeral held at his church on March 14, WREG-TV said. Due to restrictions on gatherings due to the ongoing pandemic, COGIC said they will wait until after the restrictions have been lifted to celebrate Scott’s life.

That collection plate ain't gonna fill itself.

Only this.

Religion = big money

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Hmm.

The Republican party: endless hypocrisy

That whole meltdown was uncomfortable and embarrassing to watch. I remember people even Tweeting out things like, "We don't worship Easter!" Lol. Huh?

Mind you, all the Christians that I know thought that it was a perfectly reasonable way to describe people worshipping on Easter. The outrage was not one of actually feeling religious persecution, it was just people who hate Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton grasping for straws (and also, perhaps, not having a firm grasp on the English language). There are Christians all over this country that are quietly going about their day behaving responsibly, not trying to start any political battles, and spending most of their efforts on expanding their church, and helping in the community.

 

[nac386]

Obviously you've never been to a gay bath house

Is that even still a thing? I thought that was something that existed when most gays had to be closeted.

 

[ShinkanPo]

Ahh with all those bending over with their butts pointing all the way to heaven for Ramdaman wild Imams will be inevitable.

Yeah, it seemed like a lot of people were far more upset about the "easter worshipper" thing than the 259 (predominantly) Sri Lankans who lost their lives in the terrorist bombings. I had to back out and stop following the thread(s), got a little too unsettling and just downright bizarre to continue clinging to. The social justice warrior folks more than have their equal in the outrage department at this point.

Once Fox News and the meme word got a hold of it, people did not want to accept any other narrative. It reminds me of the way people twisted and ran with Michelle's statements about being proud of the country (OMG, she's only proud because he's BLACK?!), or the London Mayor's "part and parcel" comment that was shamelessly twisted beyond recognition.

The biggest issue though, is that once you dispel these misunderstandings (putting it nicely), a lot of people continue saying the same thing anyways. They prefer the alternate reality.

And yet the part and parcel is still being used as a legit argument here in the WR.

But this is the War Room.

For some you have to agree that Islam should be banned or else you are just a snowflake whatever that means.

But on the other side its also infuriating when you cant criticize Islamic preferences or their laws without the appologists resorting to dumb false equivalence to try and deflect.

Like the one time a poster made an argument that anti nudity laws in the west is no different than laws mandating head scarfs.

I deleted that part of my post because I did not want to derail this thread. But yeah, they still use it. I've recently heard people quote the Michelle Obama thing too. They've already learned the reality of what was said, but they prefer the fake version so much because they've built their own little realities around it.

There are so many strawmen arguments about Islam that it's difficult to even discuss on this forum. I've written at some length about some of these topics regarding Islam (the religion itself, the followers of the religion, immigration from those countries), and people seem to just ignore it and fabricate some other opinion to attribute to me. It's not the only subject like that, but it's one of the most obvious.
