In a Tuesday night prayer meeting, Tennessee Christian conservative pastor Perry Stone blamed the spread of coronavirus on marriage equality, abortion access, and the Democratic Party.
Stone told those in attendance that the pandemic is part of a reckoning.
Theres a reckoning because the courts of the land passed a law to take an infants life, that it was okay, and for marriage, that we have known it, to be changed into something weve never known, Stone said.
Both of their laws biblically in Leviticus and Deuteronomy are what God calls an abomination[
.] There will be a time when the Lord says, Enough is enough.'

(82,849 posts)Why did it take God five frickin' years to smite America for the Obergefell decision? Seems that if the Almighty wanted to teach America a lesson, he would have done something a lot sooner and more directly.
Unless, of course, you're just talking through your hat.

(5,072 posts)There was a time when abortion was simply part of life in the United States. People didn't scream about it in protest, and services were marketed openly.
Drugs to induce abortions were a booming business. They were advertised in newspapers and could be bought from pharmacists, from physicians and even through the mail. If drugs didn't work, women could visit practitioners for instrumental procedures.
The earliest efforts to govern abortions centered on concerns about poisoning, not morality, religion or politics. It was the mid-19th century, long before abortion became the hot-button issue it is now.

Just another religious message to hate anyone who doesn't look/talk/act/love/believe like you do.
