Far Right Wing Christian Evangelist Dangerously Preaches 'You Don't Have to Wear the Mask - You Got

Far Right Wing Christian Evangelist Dangerously Preaches ‘You Don’t Have to Wear the Mask – You Got Jesus’


Far right wing preacher and televangelist Joshua Feuerstein dangerously declared to fellow pastors and followers they don’t need to wear face masks or get vaccinated to protect themselves and others from the coronavirus pandemic because they have Jesus.

“You don’t have to wear the mask, you got Jesus. You don’t need the vaccine, you got Jesus,” said Feuerstein, appearing on the new extreme right streaming service Real America’s Voice, which also hosts far right personalities like former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis.

Religion does not protect anyone from exposure to the deadly coronavirus and contracting COVID-19. To date, 633,116 Americans have died from the disease, far more than any country on the planet.

Feuerstein became famous in 2015 for his opposition to same-sex marriage but especially for declaring that “Starbucks hates Jesus,” after the coffee giant decided to produce solid red cups for the Christmas Season, instead of ones with Christian religious symbols or other Christmas-themed images.

The far right preacher is also tied to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

Christian Science is a set of beliefs and practices belonging to the metaphysical family of new religious movements.[n 2] It was developed in 19th-century New England by Mary Baker Eddy, who argued in her 1875 book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures that sickness is an illusion that can be corrected by prayer alone.

to stop them from clogging up the hospitals, when they discover that they can't breathe. Very few of them seem to be eager to go meet Jesus face to face.

And that included the boy who sat in front of me who couldn't have been more than 5, but he obviously had his own smaller mask and I was impressed with how good he was - it was one long service. And in case anyone forgot, there were disposable masks at the entrance along with the program for the funeral mass.
