CENTRAL, La. — A Louisiana pastor is holding services in his church, defying house arrest orders that followed an assault charge related to his decision to hold mass gatherings in defiance of public health orders during the coronavirus pandemic.
If LA ever gets around to tracking the virus, they will surely find a big cluster right there surrounding Central. All things considered, I’m having a hard time finding sympathy for his victims who’ve been willingly going to COVID-19 parties at church in the name of Jesus. And then going back home and sharing some more.
Seriously, people, letting religious groups meet en masse is a twofer if they get the virus and meet their maker: We’re rid of both religious people and conservatives. Why in the world would we discourage it? In fact, I’ll buy the doughnuts and coffee for all who care to gather for an “Invisible Man in the Sky” service. You know, the same invisible man in the sky that supposedly created the virus in the first place.
It doesn’t bother me that they are all gathering in the church, infecting one another, what bothers me is how they will vehemently deny having blood on their hands when someone they infected dies.
A livestream from LifeDeath Tabernacle Church on Sunday showed Tony Spell walking among more than 100 congregants, often repeating the phrase, “I’ve just got to get to Jesus. … Come on America, let’s get back to Jesus.” Nearly all parishioners were not wearing face masks, and social distancing was not being practiced.
Hey man, keep this up and you’ll “get back to Jesus” a lot sooner than you think.
He could’ve had a parking lot service where he stands on a lecturn with a mic and preaches to the faithful sitting in their cars. Rather than passing the collection plate, the congregants can just as easily mail in their donation. Any pastor who cares about his/her congregation, doesn’t knowingly put them in danger. What an arrogant ass.
Contact trace all of thise people otherwise say good bye to Baton Rouge. I hope the area has a decently large hospital fully stocked with masks and PPE’s. They’re gonna be needing them in a couple weeks.
It’s really sad that some folk have zero consideration for their neighbors. There will be innocent folk who will be dead in days.
