2) Pastor Todd Dunn had been preaching “Faith over fear!” since the COVID-19 pandemic started. Before Thanksgiving, he posted a message on Facebook dismissing precautionary measures by CDC to keep wearing masks and avoid gatherings w/ family members who don’t live in same house.

2) “Dunn, who is the pastor of 2nd Mile Church in north Fort Worth where his parents were members, admitted that he was surprised by the sudden surge in COVID cases in recent weeks in Tarrant County.”

.. SURPRISED THAT EPIDEMIOLOGISTS ARE RIGHT???

3) Ummmm, thanks for nothing Rand Paul.

4) I feel the Christian Right has gone off the edge of sanity or reality in this pandemic.

5) Invoking God to attack anything to stop the virus as if it’s some anti church conspiracy is just insane. There will be some type of a reckoning after this pandemic is over.
