Evangelist Plans Woodstock-like Christian Gathering
April 1, 2020 at 9:12 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Right-wing evangelist Jonathan Shuttlesworth — a close friend of Rodney Howard-Browne, the Florida megachurch pastor who was arrested after violating coronavirus lockdown orders — told his followers that he intends to hold a large Woodstock-like Christian gathering in defiance of stay-at-home orders.

Meanwhile, CBS News reports over 1,200 people attended services at a Louisiana church, again defying the governor’s coronavirus ban against more than 50 people gathering.

1. You can only waste so much energy.

Before it's time to say, "Well then, fuck 'em!" The problem is, people who behave recklessly end up killing innocent people, coming through relatively unscathed. Ignorance kills. Willful ignorance commits 1st degree murder.

[Me.]

2. What Is Their Issue Against Stay At Home?

If they want services, why not via the internet?

[COLGATE4]

3. Because they don't want the

"secular liberal-commie antichrist gubmint" telling them what to do.

[MineralMan]

6. Fewer people in the congregation means fewer dollars in the collection plate.

It's pretty simple, really. Besides, if you go to church, catch COVID-19, and die, Jebus will take you home, see...

Trust me, that preacher won't let anyone within 10 feet of him. He knows the truth, but grifters gotta grift.

[Me.]

10. Forgot About The Money Angle

[MineralMan]

12. Yup. Those preachers even have "bequest forms" on hand

so you can leave them money when you die and go to be with the "Lord." In times of pestilence, you can count on them to mention those bequests, for sure.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. It's much easier to suck money out of the pockets of their congregants

who are physically present than to get them to send in a few bucks through Paypal while watching via the Internet. Get them in a crowd and stir them into a mindless Jesus-frenzy and they'll whip out their wallets without a second thought.

4. Have the National Guard

Surround the service and detain all who attend.
Set up tents and hold all service attendees for 14 days.

[Delmette2.0]

13. I like that idea

[Initech]

5. The Christian right is just making this worse.

They are going to ruin it for everyone. This is like throwing a tank of gas on the fire.

[SoCalNative]

7. Flamethrowers

would take care of the problem quickly.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

8. I've got a brain injury...

from the constant face palm moments.

[Tom Kitten]

9. Will there be any brown acid?

Asking for a friend

[RussellCattle]

24. "Of course, it's your own trip. So be my guest".

[shockey80]

11. If these assholes keep on doing this shit, they will risk being attacked by people who want to live.

[Kimber432]

31. They risk getting attacked...

But only if they have a 6 foot (at the minimum) pole.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

14. So let them get sick. God will save them.

Less burden on our hospitals.

[babylonsister]

15. Except then they get to spread it to us. nt

[DFW]

16. Good. I hope he invites 500,000 Republican Christians, and I hope they all come.

Make sure they have no medical insurance, as God will take care of them.

[jmg257]

17. Yeah - that will work out well when they all go away to infect the rest of us. FUCK THIS STUPID SHIT

[DFW]

19. Nope. They have to stay together quarantined.

After all, they broke the rules by attending. None of them get to leave before two weeks are up.

[jmg257]

20. NOW you're talking! 14 days plus at their f*&ing woodstock! nt

[DFW]

22. With similar protection from weather and similar sanitation facilities

Why should they have it any better than the original Woodstock?

[jmg257]

23. LOL - cleanliness is next to Godliness, so they'll be covered!

[DFW]

26. Well, they think God wrote their coverage policy, so you must be right! n/t

[rockfordfile]

18. They should just hold hands and jump off into the Grand Canyon

[sop]

32. No sense polluting the Grand Canyon. They should hold their "Woodstock" down in Guyana

Jim Jones' old compound might still be available.

[2naSalit]

33. And pollute the Colorado River?

Too messy.

Willful self destruction in one big heap with their belief system is probably easier to clean up.

[blueinredohio]

21. Let them ho to their "Woodstock" but explain to them if

They catch the hoax they don't get treated. If done intentionally then suffer through it. Or better yet pray it away. See how that works for you.

[eppur_se_muova]

25. Let them gather, then kettle them all. nt

[MyNameGoesHere]

27. In other news, National Guard planning a Woodstock-like ass kicking

N/T

[TruckFump]

28. Thank gawd for stupidity.

The idiot flock seems hell bent on thinning their own masses!

[Squinch]

29. Good. Tired of dealing with their nonsense. Let them self-cull.

[gembaby1]

34. Yes!

Oh please let this happen.

[randr]

35. Praise the Lord and pass

the Covid-19. National Guard show contain them in place before they move out into civilized society

[Judi Lynn]

36. According to articles, he hands out cash awards to attract customers.

His people actually advertise free prizes, etc. to get them to show up.

He also claims to have "dominion" over healing, bless his yearet.

[tanyev]

37. They are bound and determined to Rapture themselves.

[Mike Nelson]

38. These are the same...

...people who want to deny Christian refugees a place to stay in the US, and ban cruise ship with sick US citizens aboard...

[justhanginon]

39. At least one person in attendance will be solely responsible for transmitting

the virus to another person, perhaps one of their own family and the results of this asinine behavior could be their death.
Live with that you damn fool!
