Why do they not understand they are expected to use the brains they were given??? 🤬

"We are continuing to hold services because we the world shouldn't have to look to the government as their source of hope,"

JONESBORO, Ark. — "The first death of Covid 19 actually happened 2000 years ago," Awaken Church posted on their Facebook page Wednesday. "The Bible tells us that Jesus took on every sin, sickness and every disease...Jesus bore it so you wouldn’t have to."

Get the net...this one is delusional as hell! 🤬

7. Nah.

Just give them a nice homeland to all flock to, so they don't mix with the rest of us. No worries - we'll get it back when they're gone in a few months.

4. I have it directly from Jesus...

To paraphrase:

"Hey man, you and your flock are to stay home and pray in your closets like I told you to in the Bible. i didn't bear all that for you to be an arrogant, misleading, misguided bastard and create a vector for sickness and death. We are not doing the Passover with blood thing anymore either. Now, it's called the Holy Social Distance, you idiot. It is simple and easier and My Father agrees."

8. Well, I guess Jesus must not have been paying attention

during the Black Plague of 1347-50, or again in 1665, or the Spanish Flu of 1918, or Hong Kong Flu of 1968, or AIDS, or SARS, or Ebola, or, or....

Hey, Jesus, gonna pay attention this time?

What's that you said?

That you're not gonna do squat for stupid people who gather in crowds during an epidemic?

Oh. OK.

….no services equals no collection plate! It's about money and egos to these sycophant preachers.

14. If any herd was going to voluntarily self-thin, then this is as good a candidate as any.

Unfortunately they're going to take sane, rational people down with them.
