[Fozzledick]

Frankline Ndifor had claimed to cure the COVID-19 infection in Cameroon via the laying of hands.

A pastor and former presidential candidate in Cameroon who claimed he had cured coronavirus via laying hands has reportedly died of the infection.

Frankline Ndifor died on Saturday at the age of 39, Voice of America reported.

The authorities had to use force to enter Ndifor’s residence because his followers, who believed he was a prophet, had blocked entry as they prayed for his resurrection.

“This is a pastor that has been laying hands [on the sick] and claiming that he cures COVID-19,” one of his followers, Rigobert Che, told VOA. “If you, the person that claims that you are curing COVID-19, you are dead, what about the fellow people that were affected by the COVID-19? Now that he is dead, I do not know how the people that he was laying hands on will be healed.”
...
According to the BBC, Ndifor’s family and followers had planned to contest the death ruling and keep the body for his resurrection. Police needed teargas to disperse the crowd, then forcefully removed the corpse for a quick burial in line with local procedures for COVID-19 infection, The Cameroon Tribune reported.

3. 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'

Man should have read some scripture....

8. Maybe he did:

Mark 16 : 17-18 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

[The Magistrate]

9. Not Only, Ma'am, Can The Devil Quote Scripture To His Purposes

But every side of just about anything can be argued from the plain text, culled up from various points....

4. I guess laying hands on the sick is not such a good idea after all.

Only 39. Wow.

5. Is this what Ivanka has planned for Dildo Donnie,...

.... leave him in the White House for six years and let Jesus freaks come pray over his dead body ?

7. These should be teaching moments

For those who deny science and only believe in faith...

[patphil]

10. We live on a free will world - they all are.

We can choose to expect God to intercede in our lives in a way that goes outside natural law.
We can choose to demand God save us as a demonstration of our faith.
We can choose to do things that put us in harms way as a test of God's "love" for us.
We can choose to be stupid.
We can choose to die.

We are here to learn to be responsible for our actions.
We are here to grow spiritually, sometimes through spiritual tests that push us to our limits.
We are here to learn to love God, love ourselves, love each other.

We are here to grow into the life of a permanent Angel that is on the path of love.
It's a difficult place for us, because we have chosen, over countless centuries, to make it a difficult place.

What the world needs now is love.

15. He strayed into falsifiable territory with his claims.

What an amature.

[procon]

16. He probably made a good income off of fleecing

the faithful out of their money with this scam. He's not the only con man hiding behind the vestments and sacred trappings of religious ripoffs. It's a global criminal gang that uses religion as a front for their criminal activities.

With this jerk on his way to a dishonorable mention in the Darwin Awards list of losers, there's probably already a line of wannabe holy men all claiming gawd told them to go forth and cure the sick, and please pay at the door with your generous love donation.

22. What really pisses me off are the end-of-times assholes who are trying to get to rapture.

They are influencing Dotard 45 big time and it is virtually never reported on. They are bat shit crazy and have been for decades. Now they have more sway than ever, with Pence and Pompeo. Drumpf has no more religion than he has anything else, which is... nothing.
