There are currently over 5,300 reported cases of coronavirus in Tennessee, and there have been over 100 deaths, but that isnt stopping one antigay pastor from continuing to hold church services week after week.
Last weekend, Greg Locke of the Global Vision Bible Church in Mt. Juliet once again defied social distancing orders put in place by Gov. Bill Lee, who recently issued an executive order prohibiting gatherings of 10 or more people.
On Good Friday, Locke held a live reenactment of Jesus crucifixion outside his church. He shared a video on Twitter showing his 16-year-old son as the bloodied Christ hanging from a cross, and his 17-year-old daughter as Mary. Locke said tons of people had stopped by to witness the performance, which lasted all day.
----
Last year, Locke, who opposes same-sex marriage, divorced his wife of over 20 years to marry her best friend, who also worked as his administrative assistant.

(5,324 posts)According to Mark, Matthew, Luke... on the night of his arrest Jesus went up to Gethsamene and in anguish prayed those words.
HOW THE FUCK DO THEY KNOW WHAT HE SAID?
According to the text his disciples were sleeping and when he came back down to them he was arrested... and then had no further congregations with them.
It's all bullshit.
