An evangelical pastor died of COVID-19 just weeks after proudly showing

In his last known in-person service on March 22, Bishop Gerald O. Glenn

to stand to prove how many were there despite warnings against
gatherings of more than 10 people.

“I firmly believe that God is larger than this dreaded virus. You can

that “people are healed� in his church.

Happily announcing he was being “controversial� by being “in violation�
of safety protocols — with “way more than 10 people� at the church — he
vowed to keep his church open “unless I’m in jail or the hospital.�

“I am essential,� he said of remaining open, adding, “I’m a preacher — I
talk to God!�

On Sunday, his church announced “with an exceedingly sorrowful and heavy
heart� that the pastor had died a week after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

His wife, Marcietia Glenn, is also sick with the bug, with church
members offering their prayers.

More likely, he was just another religious dumb****.

Actually I think it is just the money for some of these guys and they
take advantage of people's beliefs to get it.
You know, like the DNC.

But... he said: “I am essential,� he said of remaining open, adding,
“I’m a preacher — I talk to God!�

Apparently his god didn't think much of what the preacher said.

As usual Harry, you miss the whole point of the pastor and Christianity in general . But that’s expected if you.

I didn't know there was a point, Tim. In the case at hand, the preacher
holding a service in infectious times at his church, what was the point,
aside from religious arrogance, overwhelming stupidity, and not caring
about the health of others? Was it Trumpitis?

The point is that he and his congregation feel that worshiping the Lord together is more sacred then some edict rolled down by man. And that is something you can’t understand

Acts 5:27-29

Evolution in action...stupid is as stupid does. Getting together in
infectious times to worship an imaginary "lord" demonstrates the
inherent evil in religion.

Maybe God didn't think he was rendering enough to Caesar.
When God is ****ed at you it makes the IRS look like sissies ;-)

I know what you’re saying Greg. But not this guy. there’s some really huge fish out there waiting for the fryer

I am not familiar with this particular church but the ones I see that
insist on pressing the flesh these days tend to be of the "pay to
pray" variety. Most seem to be doing just fine with online services or
drive in services where people stay in their cars and watch the sermon
while it is being broadcast to their radio. God still sees you there
too and you are not tempting fate.
I know a few people who have come to like the drive in thing quite a
bit. They don't have to dress up as much and they can bring a cooler
;-)

If they could find a way to "mike" the choir, this might even become
the new normal.
OTOH I also understand Sunday services are as much a social affair as
it is talking to the lord. That is what my FIL and his girl friend
miss the most. They really enjoyed hanging out with their friends
there and then going to Bob Evans or Sweet Tomatoes for lunch. It was
a regular Sunday outing for them ... then come home and watch football
or NASCAR.
