Marriage equality is responsible for coronavirus according to Christian pastor

[Behind the Aegis]

In a Tuesday night prayer meeting, Tennessee Christian conservative pastor Perry Stone blamed the spread of coronavirus on marriage equality, abortion access, and the Democratic Party.

Stone told those in attendance that the pandemic is part of a “reckoning.”

“There’s a reckoning because the courts of the land passed a law to take an infant’s life, that it was okay, and for marriage, that we have known it, to be changed into something we’ve never known,” Stone said.

“Both of their laws – biblically in Leviticus and Deuteronomy – are what God calls an abomination[….] There will be a time when the Lord says, ‘Enough is enough.'”

2. Well, I think it's a reckoning for Trump

If there is a God, he's probably really against Trump.

3. Hey Perry

Why did it take God five frickin' years to smite America for the Obergefell decision? Seems that if the Almighty wanted to teach America a lesson, he would have done something a lot sooner and more directly.

Unless, of course, you're just talking through your hat.

14. And lest we forget, abortion wasn't illegal for the most part before the 20th Century.

There was a time when abortion was simply part of life in the United States. People didn't scream about it in protest, and services were marketed openly.

Drugs to induce abortions were a booming business. They were advertised in newspapers and could be bought from pharmacists, from physicians and even through the mail. If drugs didn't work, women could visit practitioners for instrumental procedures.
The earliest efforts to govern abortions centered on concerns about poisoning, not morality, religion or politics. It was the mid-19th century, long before abortion became the hot-button issue it is now.

5. Have they ever considered

that maybe this is divine punishment for electing Trump? Not that I believe any of that bullshit but that makes as much sense as blaming “teh gays”. Bigoted assholes, all of them.

I mean, people had to fight for that to become legal.

8. It's called the "Trump Effect." If you mere mortals are stupid enough

to elect Trump, then I (your god) need to clean up the mess you created in my paradise I gave to you.

10. Why wouldn't the preacher

consider that the virus is a punishment for electing a President who violates every one of the 10 Commandments and Seven Deadly Sins?

11. God first sent Mueller to fix things. When that didn't work, God figured Impeachment would

surely do the trick. Now she's gone all Old Testament on us. Apparently it took a good old-fashioned plague to make us take stock, and get rid of Trump.

12. I would think the pro life people would be invested in helping prevent deaths from this virus.

But no, their reaction is exactly what I predicted.

[MotorCityBeard]

13. Well, that didn't take long. My partner owes me $5 now

I bet him on Monday that within the week some holy roller would be blaming the virus on the "gay".

Just another religious message to hate anyone who doesn't look/talk/act/love/believe like you do.

16. I've always heard that God is good and pure. I wonder why He would turn on

us like that? (sarcasm) :&gt (((

20. 'God' punishes America any time we're nice to someone that the preachers don't like

Reality punishes America because we keep letting these preachers spread their bullshit.
