‘A phantom plague’: Evangelicals who defied social distancing guidelines are dying of coronavirus in frightening numbers

Countless non-fundamentalist churches in the United States, from Catholic to Lutheran and Episcopalian, have embraced social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic and temporarily moved their activities online. But many Christian fundamentalists and evangelicals have been irresponsibly downplaying the dangers of COVID-19 and doing so with deadly results: journalist Alex Woodward, in the U.K.-based Independent, reports that the pandemic has claimed the lives of more than 30 pastors in the Bible Belt.

Google and Facebook know how to do it.

They can (and probably will) play it as the Rapture, as predicted) having arrived and taken the best people first to prepare the way for the rest of the faithful.

there's always a silver lining, if you just look for it.

Hey, I tried to be creative in this one.

That whole smite them down by lightning bit got old.

Eh, it can be done. My church went online and over the airwaves for the last month and change, but then again, my church actually gives a shit about charity. And it collected the offering via text message before the quarantine anyway so not much changed.

We used to be Catholic (me in name only) and they refused to do text-message donations or online services - I’ll be surprised if there’s much of a Catholic Church in America at all after this if they can’t figure that out.

Anywho, yeah, if you expect people to go to church in person during this quarantine, then go fuck yourself. And if you do it because your all-powerful cult leader told you to, them go fuck yourself.
