don't think so, I can think of at least 5 persons who I would want, in shepherding my religious beliefs. People like this are getting others killed. There have been instances where gatherings of people have resulted in harm to others, one in particular, where 71 of one church's membership got sick from the CV (I don't know of how many deaths yet), and I'm sure that other occurrences have happened.

Reckless, totally irresponsible, and perhaps guilty of negligent homicide (or reckless)? Not those of the church body, but those on the outside, when these members, possibly contaminated w/ the CV, go flooding back out into the community, infecting others. I did see them (the church) examining members w/ thermostats/etc. as they entered the church, but from what I'm reading, some can spread w/o showing anything/characteristics of the CV.

These people act like they are being persecuted and such, that they're the victims in all of this. This is as far as you can get from being a logical argument as you can get. First of all, the entire community is under lockdown. Second of all, you can hold services still, online. Third, being irresponsible for the health and safety of your church members (would you still have services if you knew a massive flood or tornado was coming straight at you?).

If I were a logical person (and I like to think I am), I would think long and hard about staying as a member of these churches that have so little regard for my safety. God put a brain into all of our heads for a reason, don't be an idiot and not use it.

Just kidding.

He's doing whatever the freak he's doing in that video because he's angry, angry as hell, that his cavernous "church" is empty because without butts in seats there's no cash in the basket. Yep, he's pissed at Satan because, well, how dare the Lord of Darkness get in the way of his gravy train?

(But fret not for Pastor Ken. He's still got his TV audience, doesn't he? And movies. Isn't he still producing christian schlock cinema? So his physical comfort -- which is so much more important than spiritual comfort -- will not be seriously affected by this plague, and when the cloud of death lifts and America is back in order again, he'll be able to say to his "believers":"See, when I tell Satan to leave, he listens!&quot
