There are Evangelist / Fundamentalist churches that falsely teach HIV / AIDS is a "Gay Disease". The most visible of these churches may arguably be the Westboro* Baptist church, which will even stage protests against LGBTQ+ people at the funerals of deceased military veterans.
Many of these same churches also falsely teach that Coronavirus / COVID is a political hoax, and have staged mask-less protests that have turned into super-spreader events leading to illness and death. Many of their leaders also deny the effectiveness of the covid vaccines in preventing the spread of the coronavirus; that is, until their last words before being intubated are "Get the vaccine!"
I hereby assert these two ideas:
1. Evangelist / Fundamentalist churches are more obsessed with judging "sinners" than with keeping people healthy.
2. If Evangelist / Fundamentalist church leaders could somehow be convinced that covid is somehow connected with or caused by their "Gay Community" bogey-man, there would be a massive vaccination effort in places where Evangelist / Fundamentalist churches have the greatest influence, and the coronavirus would be eliminated as a threat.
No, I AM NOT SAYING THIS SHOULD HAPPEN!!
I am saying that Evangelist / Fundamentalist churches are so effed up in their priorities that it would take an even bigger lie than the ones they already believe to get them to accept -- no, DEMAND -- receipt of the coronavirus vaccines. Lies and false rumors about the coronavirus are being spread in Evangelist / Fundamentalist churches, and it needs to stop!
Now, all of you Evangelist / Fundamentalist Christian types can whine and cry all you want about how I am picking on you, and you can try to get me banned; but I have not typed one word in this post that is not valid.
Well, I have said my say, and now the moderators can deal with this post as they see fit.
Thank you, and have a nice day!
