Covidiot News - More Lying Christian Pastors Against Covid-19 Vaccines

Pastor Rodney Howard-Brown of The River church, Tampa, Florida and Revival Ministries International. Lying for money and to keep his death-cult paying for his quackery while endangering their health and welfare.

Lying Pastor: A COVID Vaccine Will Alter Your DNA and “Remove the God Factor” | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

As I remarked in my previous post, there is something weird about fundamentalist Christians who seem to want to help their malevolent designer's special creation, the SARS-CoV-2 virus, kill people or at least make them sick.

This one, Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne, of The River church in Tampa, Florida, and Florida-based Revival Ministries International, who, along with his good friend, Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth, has been doing his best to ensure as many people as possible get Covid-19, is now lying in a desperate attempt to fool people into not having the vaccine medical science has developed to combat it.

Back at the start of the pandemic when lockdowns were being imposed to try to reduce the spread of the virus, Pastor Howard-Brown held an in-person church service despite the ban, on the assurance of his equally dishonest fellow fundamentalist Christian, Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth, who had declared that God would spare the USA because Donald Trump was pro-Israel, and in any case, Covid-19 was a Satanic plot.

Shuttleworth then lied some more, claiming Howard-Browne had been arrested 'for holding a church service' and announced plans to defy the ban on social gatherings and hold a 'Woodstock-style' service. In fact, Howard-Browne had been arrested and charged with defying the ban on gatherings in places of worship, not for holding a church service, which he could easily and legally done by live-streaming it. Holding a church service as such is not and never was illegal, but the desire for martyrdom is strong with these two.

I’m gonna announce it… We’re gonna hold an outdoor Easter blowout service. Not online. A national gathering. You come from all over, like Woodstock. And we’re gonna gather and lift up Jesus Christ. I’m not ashamed that Dr. Rodney got arrested. I’m ashamed that when they wanted to arrest preachers for having church, in the entirety of the state, there was only one to come for.

He continued to hold his super-spreader events through the summer, like the one pictured here in Tampa, Florida (just one of two that day), during which he lied some more to his credulous audience and became even more violent and threatening:

Somebody said, ‘Oh, it’s going to come back in the fall.’ No, it’s not coming back in the fall. Somebody said, ‘There will be another plague.’ I’m sure there will be, but the River church will never shut again, ever. And I’ll tell you right now, we don’t run around with armed guards, but if I have to get a military here, I will. I’ll shoot my way into the church, and I’ll shoot my way out of the church. We ain’t shutting down. That happened once, but it will never happen again.

The River Church's super-spreader morning event in June. There was a second one that evening.

Of course, it peaked in mid-summer and came roaring came back in the fall with a vengeance, helped by Christian churches like The River church in Tampa becoming Covid-19 hotspots and by Desperate Donald Trump's increasingly frantic election rally super-spreader events in which masks were rarely worn, believing them to be an anti-Trump, anti-God, pro-Satan political statement because Trump and lying Pastors like Howard-Browne and Shuttleworth had said they were.

According to this report on the New York Post, Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne labelled those who were afraid of the virus, 'pansies' and said he was "excited" and "emotional" that the pandemic could be the "the end of days", in an admission that he is running what amounts to a death cult based on Rapture theology, and isn't bothered who dies of Covid-19. In a chilling announcement of his and his death cult's selfish disregard for the lives and welfare of others, he told a packed church:

If you cannot be saved in church, you in serious trouble. Listen, this has to be the safest place. We are not stopping anything. I’ve got news for you, this church will never close. The only time the church is closed is when the Rapture is taking place. For me, it doesn’t matter … Jesus is coming really, really soon. If you don’t believe God, and trust God, you will not make it in the days coming.

But it's not Howard-Brown's and Shuttleworth's cavalier and callous disregard for the welfare of others in their valiant attempts to spread the coronavirus as widely as possible, as though they think it is a special gift from God, but Howard-Browne's sterling efforts to ensure as few people as possible take up the anti-Covid-19 vaccine and so massively reduce their chance of dying from it, that is the subject of this post.

Pastor Howard-Brown's latest lie is that the vaccine will change your DNA to remove the 'God factor' as part of a Satanic plot to stop you believing his childish superstition (and paying tithes):

The vaccine they’re counting on is an RNA vaccine that actually changes your DNA. So they want to remove the God Factor out of people. They won’t feel God. They won’t… because a lot of the stuff was… really in the creation of the Super Soldier, which they wanted to bring about soldiers which had no emotions whatsoever. So a lot of the stuff, it’s all the End Time wicked plan of the Enemy to totally destroy humanity because he hates man…

The RNA in the vaccine codes for the viral 'spike' protein and does nothing to your DNA. And there is no such thing as a 'God factor' in DNA anyway. This entire thing is a lie designed to appeal to the superstitious dupes who follow these grifters and charlatans who will tell any lie and bear false witness against anyone to enhance their own income, power and influence and are admirers of President-reject Donald Trump for doing the same.

It is, or course, pure paranoid fantasy and the deluded ravings of a man who is terrified that his income might be hit when people no longer buy into the quack 'cures' he peddals in the form of magic spells to the same God whom Christians believe created the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the first place, in full and perfect knowledge of what it would do.
