<snip>
BRADENTON, Fla. — A Bradenton organization that peddles drinking industrial-grade bleach as a cure for 95% of the world’s known illnesses – including HIV/AIDS, autism, Alzheimer’s, leukemia and, most recently, Covid-19 – was openly defiant after a federal court issued a temporary restraining order on the sale of its products.

“We are doing good, so we have no fear of you AND you still have NO authority in our Church or its practices,” wrote Mark Grenon, leader of Genesis II Church of Health and Healing, in an email addressed to U.S. District Judge Kathleen M. Williams on April 24.

Grenon, who said he has written President Donald Trump about his product, also told the judge to cancel all orders against the organization.
“Do not dig yourself a deeper hole,” Grenon wrote. “You might never get out of it and then ETERNITY!”

My ten year old self watched in amazement and confusion at the spectacle the two of them put on, and I knew that there could be no god. A god would not have tolerated them.

They have conveniently lied for years so I don’t believe it
Wonder if anyone fell ill using his cure
Someone that was one of his followers and believed it would work .
Sick part is that he will return in some near future time with another scam to steal
