Cant help but look at covid is like an antibiotic against dumb or ignorant people and surely there is a larger component of such in religous groups.

And it leaves me with a morbid question: is it sadly better for society because we will have less religous idiocy to deal with or horribly worse because we will be left with a smaller but smarter strain of religous people?

Everything COVID and church wise is all about money. Along the way idiots will declare you have a "god given right."

Then, imo, for EVERY person who becomes infected with Covid at or after one of idiotic Worship Services I suggest that he receives, PUBLICLY, 39 Lashes with a Bull whip, a $10,000 fine per head for everyone who attended the services, a minimum of $200,000 reparations for ANY person infected either during, from or by his Followers, $500,000 for any resultant deaths from Covid to Adults and $1,000,000 per child or person under the age of 21 either infected or dying from Covid infection as a result of attending or encountering an attendee of his services.
I mentioned 'the 39 lashes' as a reference to what that Charlatan, Jesus, was supposed to be subjected to and as an idea that might just teach scum like this Preacher that IF you want to propagate a myth then you should suffer by that myth as well.

No surprises here. Worship services and ignorance go together like spicy food and heartburn.

Stupid is as stupid does. Bet none of them wear mask.

If I were a Christian believer I would probably attend. I am not a theist so I won't be at any such services.

It is very tempting to blame the church leaders for this. Money-grubbing bastards. But, remember, every single adult there made the choice to join in. They are ALL responsible for this.

Could this also be a form of Darwinian evolution weeding out the gullible?

I should have muted the volume on my phone before clicking the video praise jeebuz.

The longer I'm out of religion, the more culty it seems. And to have everyone there, maskless, it's so irresponsible. This would have been the perfect opportunity to pass out masks with crucifixes on it or some other type of religious BS. But no.

This is why we can't have nice things America.

For Governor Newsome to allow this in Redding California showed that he's nothing but a political pimp.
