A right-wing evangelical pastor has claimed the coronavirus is God's 'death angel' and says parents 'transgendering little children' and 'the filth on our TVs and our movies' are to blame for the outbreak.
Christian Pastor Rick Wiles, who is the creator of the TruNews streaming channel, described China as having a 'godless communist government,' in an attempt to explain why the country had been hit so badly by the virus.
He noted, 'plagues are one of the last steps of judgment' and warned Americans to 'get right with God.'
The deadly coronavirus has left 131 people dead, with confirmed infections at around 5,568 across the world.
The virus has spread across China and to at least 16 countries globally.
Five people have been confirmed to have the virus in the United States. All of those infected had all recently returned from Wuhan.
The new coronavirus is thought to have emerged from illegally traded wildlife at a seafood market in Wuhan.
On Tuesday, China agreed for WHO to send international experts to the country as soon as possible to help understand the virus and guide global response efforts.
Wile addressed the deadly outbreak in his evening broadcast on Monday, saying: 'Look at the spiritual rebellion that is in this country, the hatred of God, the hatred of the Bible, the hatred of righteousness.

Nonsense
John 10:10 -
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
1 John 1:5 -
God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
**************
Those passages should make it clear who’s responsible for death and destruction.
The article never once uses the term “megachurch” or anything remotely similar to that.
Are you seeing things again?
There are very few people I mistrust more than those who claim to know what God is doing and why. Does God have like a website or Twitter account where He explains it all? Maybe an e-mail subscriber list?
Well...maybe he and his devotees can head to China to help those who are sick.
Because they can use it to make Christians look bad.
If/when Imams begin saying the same thing it will just be ‘cultural expression’ and perfectly understandable.
For a priest, yes. However, what is it when there are many priests molesting children, and a systemic hiding of this information?
earthquakes...
fires...
volcanic activity...
and now a plague...
Well.... if God created Earth, then God created the virus.
IF it were just one priest then you’d have a point.
Noted anti-Semite.
Probably a leftist hoax.
Although child molestation is much different than bragadocious religious claims, the volume is about the same.
The pastor is a blaspheming idiot.
He just came out of the closet...
A bit off the wall; however, Mother Nature knows how to deal with over population!
Is it just one pastor who has said something like this ?
How many pastors have said that AIDS was a punishment for homosexuality ?
Fred Phelps’ replacement?
