Extreme rightwing pastor Kent Christmas (yes, that is his real name) is demanding to know why more “big Democrats” haven’t died from COVID-19 yet.
The antigay, anti-vax pastor helms Regeneration Nashville with his wife, Candy. In a recent sermon, he questioned why more people who are vaccinated aren’t dying, while those who choose to remain unvaccinated are keeling over in record numbers.
“I can’t think of one big Democrat that’s died from the coronavirus,” Christmas ranted. “I can’t think of one billionaire that’s died of coronavirus. Doesn’t that make you wonder?”
“Bill Gates is fine! George Soros is fine!”
How about we take this to the next level?

Christmas, who believes homosexuality is caused by a “demonic spirit that comes after our seed”, went on to say that he’s especially baffled by the fact that President Biden hasn’t died of COVID.
“Biden’s fine. He’s 80 years old and half dead anyway,” he said. “Rupert Murdoch’s fine. The CEOs of Vanguard and Berkshire Hathaway and State City and Mark Zuckerberg. They’re just fine!”
"I can't think of one big Democrat that's died from the coronavirus…"
Pastor Kent Christmas is so close to figuring it out.
Instead, he's going with a conspiracy theory. pic.twitter.com/hWe3bYxT78

In the past, Christmas has claimed he knows how to “cure” homosexuality because his own son, Joshua, used to be gay before “the Holy Ghost delivered him and set him free.”
“We’re not gonna tell ’em they’re going to hell, we’re not gonna tell ’em they’re scum,” Christmas said in 2018. “We’re gonna tell ’em that they’re born of God, that God will set them free, and change them by the power of the Holy Ghost. We’re going to put them on our platform to sing that our God is an awesome God. By the power of the Lord!”

OMG someone jealous and I bet his son is still gay just not a home. What a total loser

I’m sure you’re right. It appears Dad may have borrowed that rainbow shirt he’s wearing from his son’s closet.

Is this loser really this obtuse?
barryaksarben
HE thinks RUpert Murdoch is democratic
Lancealot
Is Rupert Murdoch American??
Essie
I don’t understand. Is he STUPID???
Vaccines plus wearing masks help keep you from getting COVID. Is he not watching or listening?
Personally, I hope these fools continue to fight against the vaccine and mask mandates. Hopefully, enough of them will die before 2024. One can only hope.

In my personal opinion…. if anyone still doesn’t understand how Hitler rose to power, you haven’t been paying attention over the last six years (or read any credible books on that part of human history). Actually, much longer than that but specifically the last six years that spawned the sick and twisted positioning of Trump and his GOP allies along with thousands that can’t (and never did) think for themselves nor have an ounce of common sense. How many readers have family members and “former” friends they no longer speak to and probably never will for the rest of their lives
Mr. Stadnick
It is a conspiracy! You can tell the members of this conspiracy they are wearing masks. They are getting vaccines in the basement of a pizza restaurant!

And yet pastors and other religious zealots have, by refusing vaccinations and other health care protocol, been dying day after day. It appears that all of their Facebook begging for prayers have either been refused or ignored by their all mighty god. Maybe the Democrats aren’t dying because they have actually been taking care of themselves. Whine on Pastor Christmas it means absolutely nothing because your god can’t save you if your get Covid.

Yep we’re conspiring with medical science to stay alive. I didn’t read that he had a conspiracy that isn’t completely explained by knowledge we’ve had for 100 years at least. It’s clear that he’s just stupid, and therefore his followers are more stupid. They aren’t what I would call ignorant. They reject the knowledge and prefer MAGICAL solutions over MEDICAL. It’s what they choose.

Contrary to popular belief. Ignorance IS NOT a gift from God.
Mister P
If prayers are answered, then vaccines are the answers to millions of prayers over centuries by people who died and lost loved ones to terrible diseases. They are basically going against god by not getting vaccinated..

Here is a video of his son Josh claiming that he’s been “delivered” from homosexuality. The supportive comments are truly nauseating — especially the testimonials and those who ask for prayers so that their gay relatives can also be “delivered.” I’ve flagged it as unsafe for children, thus should be Age Restricted. I explained how it can drive a gay child to suicide, and encourage other children to bully gays. If you agree, please report it as well.

Here’s another video from his son, Josh, on how he was “delivered” from homosexuality. This video is a bit more insidious because it was specifically marked as Children-friendly, or even targeted towards children. You can tell because the comments are automatically turned off and there’s an invitation to join YouTube Kids. YouTube’s policy is to not allow comments on Children-friendly videos so as to “protect” them. As such, I’ve reported it as promoting violence. I wrote such videos are NOT children-friendly because a gay child night be driven to guilt and even suicide. And it encourages homophobic bullying. In fact, the video is not only not children-friendly but that it should even be Age-restricted for adults only. If you agree, please report the video as well.

His son looks like Richard Hatch, the gay winner of the first season of the TV show Survivor.

I keep saying you can’t fix stupid and he’s proves my point.

LOL, God does work in mysterious ways

This fool is like the story of the guy who was caught in a flood, and made it to the roof, and just KNEW that God was going to save him. People in boats would come by and offer to take him to safety, but his response was always, “God’s going to save me!”
Eventually, the water gets so high it washes him off the roof, and he dies. When he gets to Heaven, he asks God why He didn’t save him, and God replies, “I sent you several boats, but you wouldn’t get in any of them.”
As for God changing homosexuals, could it be that Homos are part of His plan? You can pray with all your might for anything, but these idiots don’t seem to realize that very often, God answers by saying, “No.”

Apparently this moron doesn’t realize that Trump an Christie both had AIDS and both fit the criteria of likely dying from it, but amazingly they survived with little apparent problem. So, YES, there is some questions to be answered about why fewer high income individuals or people with power seem to succumb to Covid, but I don’t see any link to political affiliation. It’s all linked to the money.

It might be time for that war on Christmas after all.
Sanjo
Pastor Christmas should realize that this had nothing to do with vaccines or makes. God just likes Democrats better than Republicans.
Man About Town
Oh please, his wife’s name can’t be Candy Christmas…can it? Brings a whole new meaning to that song from “Best Little Whorehouse”!

Some one needs to explain natural selection to the “good” pastor. People who decide to forgo the vaccination will have a greater probability of dying therefore increasing the average IQ in the gene pool. Blame God!
MynameisSid
Geezus Krist her name is Candy Christmas.
And that’s the gayest shirt I’ve ever seen.
Lancealot
There’s nothing gay about that shirt in Nashville. In Nashville, that’s a manly cowboy shirt.
Darlene31
Is he for real????? Democrats aren’t dying of Covid because they are vaccinated genius!!!!!what a total dumb Fck
HMFan
Uh… ’cuz we all got vaccinated like we were supposed to? And Jesus tap-dancin’ Christ, get a wardrobe specialist. Your unicorn vomit shirt just isn’t doing you any favors, honey…
Tombear
Ok, this pastor needs to realize that God in his infinite wisdom fixed it so the stupid would die first cleaning out the gene pool so the average IQ in the gene pool would become higher. We call it natural selection.
whateverokok
No. We call that genocide. But hey, thanks for playing.
