Even though that will be because of what the medical professions do, what the Governors do and what the (hopefully) majority of people do by self isolating, he and his flock will see it as the result of their prayers.

And your fault. We didn't have enough "faith" and ruined it for everyone!
You know that's going to be the excuse when the virus doesn't magically go away.
"If only every American had my faith..."

It is the all purpose excuse.

The old pagan view was at least a little more realistic. A god might be weakened by lack of sacrifice and ritual, and so lose the power to protect the people and the city.

This peculiar strain of monotheism our culture has adopted claims a deity is so affronted by lack of worshipful obedience he uses his power to punish rather than to protect.

I have always been fond of an old practice that used to be seen in China. One measure against drought, where prayer and ritual had not yet seemed to work, was to take the god out of his temple and leave the image in the sun, to acquaint the god with just how dire the situation was....

...to a bed in ICU.
See how his god works out then.

Or perhaps Elijah, it has been a while. The one who we are told challenged the priests of Ba'al to summon the fire to burn their sacrifice, and when they failed, doused his slaughtered bullock in water before praying successfully for fire from heaven....

it to all of the other members of the church body. It's just a matter of time where a substantial portion of the group will come down w/ the CV.

It's happened already in France, S. Korea, and probably other places where churches continue to meet w/ their
large congregations (over 10 per federal guidelines, over 50 some other guidelines), all crammed together in one big happy family, coughing and hacking on each other, or just even breathing in close quarters. What really irks me about this is that they are putting the entire community at risk, not just them.

The local hospitals will eventually be overwhelmed, due to the actions of this irresponsible twits.

so who would know better than MasterCard, VISA, and Discover card Kenny, one of gods go to assh*les for bible speak. These phony jesus freaks are getting irritating now.

Glad we've got that all sorted out....

When the disease continues to spread, will Copeland put the hat on the Almighty for failing to carry out his orders?

Anybody who gets it now was not a true believer.

Eventually because of the scope of the pandemic many are bound to see the foolishness of it and scorn the day they ever believed. I think younger generations will get the point. I'm hopeful anyway.
