"Christian" radio host has the answer to covid-19

[Permanut]

Craig DeMo, host of "The Ambassador" radio show on Bible thumper station KKPZ in Portland, Oregon, has the answer to the covid-19 crisis.

He says that the virus is caused by "unclean spirits", and that he can pray them away.

Who knew it was that simple?

1. Why the fuck hasn't he started praying??

[Permanut]

3. Well, he did some praying on his radio show today..

Must be a delayed reaction type of thing. I don't understand all the physics of it.

[dchill]

2. Works for me.

4. heathens. You don't even know what unclean spirits are

It's a glass of liquor that someone accidentally flicked cigarette ashes into.
That would definitely make me sick.

11. Unbidden memories of beer can ashtrays.

5. Nothing new

instead of 1950 it is 2020. Same bullshit just another Century. Lots of bad memories of those times. Innocent Neighbor Kids not getting needed Health Care because of Parental Ignorance. Doing Rosary over your Kids will not cure the illness.

6. Of course

I don't approve of it, but I can sort of explain the fundie mindset, if I can call it that.

We've had only one previous big epidemic in the lives of people living today, and that was HIV/AIDS. At first, the fundies thought it was some sort of divine retribution for being gay, and when heterosexual people started getting it, then it morphed into it being because of promiscuity. "Sin" is the only way they have of making sense of how bad shit happens, because they cannot wrap their tiny brains around the idea that there is no invisible skyfather miraculously in control of everything.

7. Evil spirits only cause half of all illness.

The rest of illnesses are caused by the sins of your great-great-grandfather, visited upon the third and fourth generations.

8. I am not shocked that there might be a dipshit out there that thinks this.

But I am sort of surprised there are enough dipshits to constitute an audience.

9. Like bleach or methanol are any better.

Or believing that a malaria drug or plasma transfusion, because each achieves the same results as doing nothing, has to be better than ... doing nothing.

[Iggo]

10. That ain't a "Christian." That's a Christian.

Probably a Scotsman, too.

[Permanut]

12. Could be Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.,

Or maybe:

Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879.

Thanks for the reminder about the Scotsman. Haven't heard that one for ages.

13. Some Christians take Jesus's teachings seriously. nt.
