Pastor Bruce Wesley of Clear Creek Community Church prays for God to stop the coronavirus pandemic after more than 125 people contract the virus following his church’s mask-optional student summer camp

Lord, we didn't want to be in the news, at least not for this, maybe for serving or some extreme generosity, but not this," he said. "So we ask for your mercy. We ask for your healing for all of those who became sick with this virus and for their families who've have been caring for them as well. We pray for complete recovery so that people don't have any lingering effects, and we pray that you would put a stop to the spread of this virus."

The church issued a statement last week saying that a second wave of infections was afflicting its congregation following the camp, which ended on 27 June.

1. Well, that should fix it.

20. Hijacking top comment, here's the video:

No acceptance of their mistake and painful actions. Just prayers for those who were detrimentally affected by the Church's policy. Absolving themselves of any and all responsibility.

2. God is shaking his head

Moron, you should have used masks.

23. Pastor: When we die we sit by right side of Jesus! Jesus: Come join me now. Pastor: Whaaaah! 😭

3. He'll Send Thoughts & Prayers When Some Of Them Start Dying

ALL HE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT IS THE FACT HE'S LOSING MONEY FROM THOSE IN HIS CONGREGATION WHO DIE.

4. Clearly you didn't have enough faith in God

See you in Hell!

[bamagal62]

10. This!

[TDale313]

14. Yes.

[Hortensis]

17. Yup. In his defense, he thought Democrats provided the brilliant scientists. nt

[LakeArenal]

18. Exactly. I'm guessing their god did create science. So....

[Effete Snob]

26. He even made all of those dinosaur bones to test their faith

[LakeArenal]

27. Oh they think humans used to hunt dinosaurs. 🙄

[Effete Snob]

28. Until the dinosaurs were late to Noah's Ark!

[LakeArenal]

30. You know your Bibble.

God gave you the ability to reason, experts to give you advice, and the material resources to follow that advice. And what did you do with those gifts? You spit in his eye, turned your back on them, and acted a fool. Your words now are hollow, your actions have told a different tale.

[Thomas Hurt]

12. If Christ refused to leap off the temple, even as the son of god, because that would be testing god,

why do these christians think failing to take precautions against a virus is a moral thing to do?

13. Mercy from lawsuits is what he really means.

[joshcryer]

22. One can hope.

But the Church is very adept at using "forgiveness" and "acceptance" as the way they avoid responsibility for their actions. Also, never ever accepting responsibility. They would also use rhetoric about "faith" with those who were detrimentally affected, "God did this as a test." "Your faith was not strong." etc.

Believe it their Deacons are running to each and every person affected and using similar language and rhetoric.

15. I Recommend Seppuku, Sir

It clears the books somewhat....


"Prayer is how you tell God His plan for you is not only wrong, but shockingly cheap."

[packman]

16. What is that old saying

Thou shalt not tempt the Lord, thou God

Pride and arrogance seems to be the thing with these idiots

[wryter2000]

19. So...

Is he also telling other pastors not to do what his congregation did? Is he taking any responsibility for this at all?

[Raven]

24. "Please forgive me" might be mmore appropriate. n/t

[MineralMan]

25. Sweet Jebus Save Me Now!

So prays the moronic pastor who led his flock into a plague. Now he wants Jebus to save his ass from his stupid decisions.

There's just one problem...Ain't nobody listening to this idiot.

29. Dude...

...did you hear the one about Job? God, having a strangely human need to show someone up no matter the consequences, decides to take up the bet from the fiery one in the basement and ruins Job’s life by killing all his family and livestock and making him sick. Then God got to say “See, he still loves me. Told ya so.”

If that is the God you are praying to, you’re fucked.
