Trump Evangelical Adviser Says You Don’t Need Flu Shots When You Have Jesus
“Inoculate yourself with the word of God,” says Gloria Copeland.
Halle Freakin' Lujah!
A controversial minister linked to President Donald Trump said flu shots aren’t necessary when you have Jesus.“Inoculate yourself with the word of God,” urged Gloria Copeland

“Well, listen, partners, we don’t have a flu season,” Copeland said
Well that's just true. There's four seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Ipso facto, there is no season of "flu."
“And don’t receive it when somebody threatens you with, ‘Everybody’s getting the flu.’ We’ve already had our shot: He bore our sicknesses and carried our diseases. That’s what we stand on.”
**sigh** That is NOT how it works.
Seriously, do you think that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, left his throne in Heaven, came to Earth for 40 miserable non-heavenly years, and allowed himself to be killed by slow torture so you wouldn't get the fucking flu? The whole point of Christianity is that Jesus came to earth to for some reason get punished for the sins of everyone else even though he didn't do anything wrong because God has a weird idea of what justice is and someone needed to die if He was gonna start letting people into Heaven. The goddamm flu doesn't enter into it.
Where in the Bible does it say that Jesus died for your immune system?
She said the faithful who don’t have the flu can ward off the infection by repeatedly saying, “I’ll never have the flu. I’ll never have the flu.”
Wait. Seriously? Do you have to click your heels three times while you say it?
Why you had the power to not have the flu allll alonggg!
All you had to do was repeat this idiotic phrase over and over!
You know, like in the Bible!
For those who are ― somehow ― sick anyway, she offered a prayer.
“Flu, I bind you off of the people in the name of Jesus,” she said, “Jesus himself gave us the flu shot. He redeemed us from the curse of flu, and we receive it and we take it, and we are healed by his stripes, amen.”
Oh.
Sure.
Speak directly to the flu.
I'm sure that must be awfully effective.
All those little nubs are ears!
So, the good news?
Looks like we might start thinning the herd a bit.
Good Lord.
ReplyDeleteBut I bet she got hers .....
ReplyDeleteHey, she and her hubby have become multi-millionaires by peddling this kind of bullshitl And she and Jesus are buddies so be careful what you say or you might get zapped by the mighty hand of the Almighty (unless he's busy putting crazy ideas in the of the orange haired monster).
ReplyDeleteGotta be related to that floating turd Kenneth Copeland, right? The faith healer with the 36 million dollar private jet?
ReplyDeleteShe"s his wife.
DeleteAh, makes sense. If people take the money they give to these faith healing grifters and pay for actual healthcare and flu shots mama's gotta fly in last year's Gulfstream and she sure as hell ain't doing that.
ReplyDeleteIf God gave mankind ingenuity wouldn't that also include those with the aptitude for medicine and medical science?
ReplyDelete...in which case one should take the advice of one with such aptitude and knowledge?
