Louisiana church expecting 2,000 at Easter service despite coronavirus: 'Satan and a virus will not stop us'
The Hill ^ | April 10, 2020 | Brooke Spiel

While many churches across the nation plan to hold their Easter services online Sunday, a Louisiana pastor says his church near Baton Rouge is expecting a crowd of 2,000 or more despite federal coronavirus guidance advising social distancing. “Satan and a virus will not stop us,” Rev. Tony Spell told Reuters. “God will shield us from all harm and sickness. We are not afraid. We are called by God to stand against the Antichrist creeping into America’s borders. We will spread the Gospel.” Spell has gained attention in recent days for insisting on holding in-person services as the coronavirus pandemic has left more than 14,700 dead in the United States and as cases nationwide top 431,000.

Just tryin’ to tweak you a little, ol’son.

Get that heart tickin’ just a titch stronger.

I do appreciate the word. Damned though, I bet it is rough to get through a solid hour with you.

It’s why they killed Socrates, you know.

Over yonder in Georgia, wasn’t it?

Athens, I believe.

You have a wonderful Easter, hear?

Good for you, mister.

I don’t know who will live or die in the coming weeks—apparently only Fauci, Birx, Coomoe, Newsom and and the Emmanuel Brothers have the lock on that.

But long as there are voices like yours, lining up on the side of life AND freedom, count me as an ally.

Funny if the leftist politicos try to stop it and precipitate the Second American Revolution (the Constitutional Reformation)

If there is a scintilla of bad news abou the KungFlu the Fearpers come out in force.
With good news they disappear.
Members of the WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE Fearper Club are upset not enough people dying.
No million deaths. No overrun hospitals. No wonder they’re pissed off.

I can only suspect the follow-up stories on this shin-dig wont get mentioned much here if it goes south for them.

There are a truck load of boot-lickers here on FR, they'll make sure it gets big play.

Yes I do judge others behaviors when it affect me and in this case it affect me if I get sick because somebody went to their Church Gathering and got the coronavirus or if I have to pick up the tab for their medical treatment sure I do judge fine have your service collect the money and put it in a fund to pay for everyone’s medical problems if it happens

Only you are a true conservative only you as the only conservative here can have an opinion whether you’re right or wrong and of course your opinion is right and even if the country did quarantine for a few weeks to avoid the collapse of the health system and a whole lot more people getting sick you can only go with the data you have at the time and that was a fairly reasonable assumption .

Trump is now ready to make a turn as things have improved but know this has to be a big insulting of anyone who has a different opinion than you. Just because we think that maybe it was a good idea just to cool things for a few weeks with this very dangerous virus was a good idea and that now we’re ready to go back to work makes us according to you some kind of leftist some kind of bootlicking robot .

of course you’re right and if you’re right then of course we are not only wrong but definitely not a conservative and definitely should not be on Free Republic...that that attitude is what I call fascist
