Louisiana megachurch pastor Tony Spell is still railing about the coronavirus and what he sees as persecution of his religious beliefs. Hes so perturbed that he had to insult the governor of New York because she pointed out that all the major religious leaders agree: there shouldnt be a religious exemption for the vaccine.
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has instituted a mandate that requires health care workers to be vaccinated that does not include religious exemptions and shes been vocal about her opposition to them. In a recent press conference, she pointed out that shes not alone in that opinion. Im not aware of a sanctioned religious exemption from any organized religion, in fact they are encouraging the opposite, Hochul said. Everybody from the Pope on down is encouraging people to get vaccinated.
During his online program, Spell expressed his outrage at her plainspoken punch to his ego and his excuses. Hochul didnt refer to him and likely has no idea he exists, so Spell was indignant. She had the audacity, she actually had the testicular fortitude
She may be a man!
who says all the major religious leaders have said there are no religious exemptions, he continues. Well, excuse me, but all the major religious leaders are on the take. They are going to be controlled by the Antichrist. Earlier this year, Spell was mocked for declaring that the world needs manly preachers with calloused knees to fight LGBTQ rights. ... Isnt about time you get some blood on your sword? Cursed be the man that keepeth his sword from blood.

(17 posts)Also, Spell's claim that "all the major religious leaders... are going to be controlled by the Antichrist" -- after Pres. Trump repeatedly gathered the nation's leading evangelical yahoos to literally lay hands on him in a group blessing -- is quite the take. This particular desecration transpired in the Oval Office in the summer of 2017: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/07/12/photo-surfaces-of-evangelical-pastors-laying-hands-on-trump-in-the-oval-office/
Bonus buffoonery: Christian leaders praying over Trump at one of his fascist rallies (this one launched the "Evangelicals For Trump" coalition), in Florida, in Jan. of 2020:
Still more bonus buffoonery: the notorious CPAC "golden idol" statue of Trump, from Feb. of this year. Can't make this shit up... https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2021/2/26/22302887/trump-cpac-2021-republican-gold-statue
