Bob Bryant Dead: California Megachurch Pastor Dies of COVID-19

[BoyNextDoor]

And the Supreme Court said it is his religiously free right to infect himself and others because he believes in ghosts.

 

[Dingobaby]

That's a shame.

Yes, thanks to a 5-to-4 majority in the court, we are now living under America's version of Sharia law. Churches have the God-given right to assemble indoors, infect each other, and then go out into their communities to infect others.

God calls the shots, and we have no power to over-rule the death cult on the basis of public health science. If God wants the vulnerable to die, so be it

He did want Trump to win, until Trump did the Bible stunt.

You certainly have a flair for the dramatics, fire fire hair on fire. Just a little free advice make sure you’re current with your fire extinguisher certification.

May he rot in hell

God calls the shots,

I don't think it's God who is calling any of these shots.

 

[magicalmoments]

Well... This brightened my day considerably. Another one that died from the Trump flu hoax.

Good job I hope he manages to take a few hundred of his flock with him.

Just keep drinking the cool aid suckers.

It's called parody.

And we will need plenty of it as we enter the realm of indoor religious gatherings taking legal priority over public's right to be protected from community transmission during a pandemic.

 

[KeithD]

Well, there are churches and there are churches. The ones I know about locally aren't holding congregation services. They're more consumed with how they can continue to work together safely to feed the homeless and arrange sheltering for them this winter under the current situation because they've been stuck with this for years already by government disinterest.

If it were just Kool-Aide, as with the Jonestown cult, it is understandable that you might appreciate the Darwinian approach.

But it isn't just cult members drinking cyanide. In this case, it's contributing to transmission of COVID outside of their death cult.

A megachurch pastor in Fontana, California, died Monday of COVID-19. The Los Angeles Times then wrote about the tragedy in a woefully misleading way.

Bob Bryant, 58, associate pastor for the Water of Life Community Church, tested positive for the coronavirus in November. He subsequently developed pneumonia, suffered a heart attack, and then died, one of the nearly 20,000 deaths California has seen connected to the virus.

According to the Times, Bryant became infected while on vacation and did not return to the church. That information is in the story, four paragraphs down. Nothing in the article—or in a Facebook post from his wife Lori, who was also infected—suggests that Bryant's infection was transmitted to or from members of the church or that Bryant put anybody at the church at risk.

Sorry to interrupt a Progressive, religion-hating circle jerk in "progress..."

 

[Tim2run]

PS - Associate Pastor

Your title is misleading: an attempt at the exception proves the rule fallacy.

 

[LLCox]

...meh...

 

[Tim2run]

I wonder...




Did no peaceful protestors die?

This should be stated a lot more! There are plenty of responsible churches, synagogues, mosques, etc that are continuing to serve their communities in responsible ways however they can. Then there’s the so called “religious”, showing their true interests lie solely in money and power, who have viewed this as yet another opportunity to create a political lightning rod to galvanize their flock. How anyone doesn’t see through such transparent greed is beyond me

It's not Sharia law if it's Jesus though!

The right always been dying for a Christian theocracy since forever. They're desperate to turn us into some version of Iran except with Jesus at the wheel.

I don't care if it rains or freezes, long as I got my plastic Jesus, sitting on the dashboard of my car.

I have my St Christopher medal, even if he has been debunked by the Catholic Church.

absolutely.

i'm not a churchgoer, nor religious in any way, but my m-i-l's church does some good work and have not held services for a few weeks now due to sickness amongst their congregation and the pastor, himself, having covid. They did shut down in-person services some while back but resumed with all sorts of safety measures (3 to a pew, masks, sanitiser etc...) but it wasn't long before people got lax and started ignoring the measures. THIS was when then should have halted in-person services again or told their people to adhere or it'd have to be online services only again. Unfortunately, the church admin didn't speak out enough and so the faithful continued to gather and covid got a foothold for community spread. They've lost 4 elderly to it so far.

You know who else really really wanted Sharia Law in America?

lol, I didn't know that. I was Methodist until none of my prayers were answered.
