Lockdown-defying pastor does something entirely predictable......

“The warrant accuses pastor Tony Spell of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the Central Police Department says,” stated the report. “Police in Central say Spell allegedly backed up a church bus into the direction of a person protesting in front of his church Sunday.

and that is exactly what the dick wants. Then the pig will tweet about it and we have yet more whackjobs pushed a little closer to violence.

Let the stupid f**k test God along with the fools in the congregation.

Despite what we think here, the right is going to insist on placing their bet on opening the economy to prove they are right, to own the libs. Let them die.

I am hoping that they will wear their hats all the time so I know who to avoid...like the plague.

They will do everything in their power to save anyone who comes through their doors, because they don't see left or right, black or white. They are there to help and save lives.
At least that is my belief. I have nothing to back that up with other than the countless pictures I've seen and the stories I have read.

So, as much of a pipe dream as it is to say "let them die", that will not happen.

Have been in the process much earlier when Antioch, I think, declared itself independent of Jerusalem's authority. After that, I'm sure the "infant" level of knowledge gained ascendancy and the "mature" level came to be viewed as heretical. Now it's such a free-for-all.

Then it went from being something spiritual to a quest for the almighty dollar.
