I have been wondering if Jesus swore when He was on Earth. Did He say stuff like, “For fuck sake, Peter, quit denying Me!” Or, “Who the fuck ordered the liver?” at the Last Supper.
Because if Jesus were to come back now, He almost certainly would be saying to these pastors who insist on holding services and to their the flocks who attend these services, “What the fuck is wrong with you people?”
He would be saying the same thing to Jerry Falwell, Jr. and to other religious figures of other religions who have insisted on continuing to hold prayer services, weddings and funerals in the face of a deadly contagion. Religious fanaticism, regardless of the religion, is dangerous, never more so than at a time of pandemic.
The belief that, “God will protect you,” regardless of the God you choose, puts everyone at risk. And, no, God or Jesus or Whomever won’t save you if you get infected and you have underlying health issues. Hell, the virus may even kill you if you’re healthy.
But, hey, maybe it’s just your time, according to your God or the Son of your God. Right? Because you have no control over your life! Right?
Well, fuck you and fuck your God. You’re putting the rest of us at risk. Even your God thinks you’re a fucking idiot.
As Jesus may have said, “Stay the fuck home.”
Thank you.
