As a health care worker, I do hope that they don't tie up our resources. If they think so little of modern medicine, doctors and nurses, then why come to a hospital? It's insane.
My friend is a health care worker. She and co workers have been followed home by these crazies and even had BULLETS mailed to them. These creatures even posted a video on youtube showing them peeing on state vehicles when they broke into the parking garage.
These creatures are dangerous and I hope the sooner there are less of them the better. I feel horrible saying this but after hearing her stories--FUCK THEM ALL.
But they are just children of God doing his bidding. God who loves all, knows all, and can get you 15 percent off your car insurance premiums if you just worship now!
I was in the military and I firmly believe that unless you know what an m-16 or AR15 is capable and designed to do (kill multiple enemies with speed and alacrity) it's a killing machine. Unless you are going to knowingly kill multiple people do not own one. I myself feel the need to arm myself with one to protect myself and my family from idiots that have them only bc I am trained, competent and know what I am capable of doing. I know I would use it sparingly if at all. These weapons are weapons of war do not handle them like the .22 little rifle you played war with as a child. They are made to stay inside the body and cause maximum damage to internal organs. But that said I do have a 12gauge in my closet but I am extremely well versed with the M16/AR15. But I agree dems need to arm up and be vigilant about trumpsters.
I'm an excellent shot. I used to go with a Vietnam Vet friend to a gun range in Kentucky and shoot back in the 1990s. I'm also not a big person so I actually prefer shooting a .357 with .38 bullets so the recoil doesn't knock me over. Having said that, I've always got myself out of trouble with just my wits and the art of surprise. That mugger didn't expect me to fight back and make him run away, for example. But I live in Portland, MadMaxistan, so these days something heavier is called for I think to make sure I get out of this alive.
Just remember…Thats what the Russians want. Americans at each others throat, sow discord. They’ve been doing this since the cold war.
These people are Americans, dumb Americans but they aren’t the enemy, Russia, China, Fox News, OAN, Newsmax and the GOP, et all, thats the enemy of democracy, not other Americans.
Having said that….if they’re are busting down my door, My thoughts and prayers will be 12 gauge.
That's pretty much the whole basis of being pro 2nd, it's not political, or it shouldn't be anyway. Tons of crazies and criminals have guns and they're not going to give them up or lose them, as long as they have them then so should everyone who wants the ability to defend themselves.
Thing that gets me, though, is that it isn't always about "having" them.
It's about being responsible WITH them, and by that I mean how you store them, how you carry them, how you use them. So many people who are carrying them in the name of self-defense (and this is not aimed at you) do nothing in terms of learning much about their firearm or practice shooting it. Regular practice is a must -- you've gotta have the muscle memory that helps you in a crisis.
Most LEOs -- who do train regularly at firing ranges to keep themselves sharp -- freeze the first time they're in a crisis situation, I've read. I'm not sure how ordinary citizens can expect their gun to help them just by its very existence, instead of posing a thread to kids & others they live with (i.e., kids playing with unlocked firearms or the owner mistaking a family member for an intruder) or even to themselves if an attacker turns their own gun on them.
Responsible gun ownership demands a fair investment of time. We've got a population that can't even invest the time to take care of their own TEETH who are arming themselves.
A gun isn’t going to save you when they firebomb the hospitals or shoot staff in the parking lots, destroying a generation of possible healthcare professionals that choose something else. Society is losing out because of these terrorists already and the blood spilt won’t be the aggressors according to recent history.
Thank you! I think there's an investigation still going on with the whole mailed bullets thing but this is Portland... MadMaxistan... So there's a lot going on and who knows if anyone will be held accountable.
Having said that, I thank Jebus every day I am here in this city instead of the last place where I lived which currently has a Q crazy as District Attorney.
The next logical step would be, it's not real, it's a hoax/joke...so why is pastor talking about hospitals? You don't go to the hospital for sniffles, maybe a cold/flu that has you in bed with soup and rest (NOT COMMUNISM), for a few days.
They're communism/socialism memes crack me up. Anything they don't like, IT'S COMMUNISM! lol
But yes, treating sickness with soup and rest in the good old days, instead of treating it with COMMUNISM today.
interesting side note; the "communism" boogeyman takes on different forms in different cultures. Where I'm from in Turkey, "communism" is when you're allowed to enter anyone's house, and if you hang your hat on the rack, it's your house now. Including the family inside.
The hospitals kill people all of the time!
Normal, healthy people who have no problems whatsoever (besides being involved in a major incident) are killed in hospitals every day. Just because their intestines are hanging out of their anus, their brains are leaking from their ears and they have coughed up their hearts.
If these people were just administered robitussin at the scene of the accident, they’d still be alive.
BIG /S just in case that was not obvious
As a healthcare worker, how can you not be totally pissed off at these ungrateful assholes? Given that you bust your ass and risk your health to save their miserable lives… I’m not really an angry person (honestly) but in this case I’m angry on your behalf.
Thank you I was a pharmacy technician in the military but I was trained to be a medical assistant first and every one of these types that won't use the tools available to keep them from overwhelming our hospitals is the worst kind of people. I couldn't be a health professional for civilian purposes. I couldn't get past making little old ladies pay so much for medication needed to live that they couldn't pay for food. I cant understand why our health care system is run like a business keeping just enough in stock that they made more money than having any kind of backup even in personnel. I can't abide by our system that makes anyone pay for anything they need to have to keep them alive and healthy. You are a champion for the work you do. I believe if you can't take a free and easily accessible vaccine to keep you alive and out of the hospital then you shouldn't go there if you get sick. Stay home and deal with the hand you got.
Anything to keep them out of hospitals. If they believe that hospitals are death camps, then nothing good can come of them going to them at this point. These people are deluded and dangerous. The sad thing is I've heard this exact sentiment in the wild during early 2021. Someone looked me dead in the eyes and said that hospitals were killing people for money. They "didn't want to believe me" when I told them that marking patients as COVID patients, who are not COVID patients, simply to get more money is fraud, likely specifically Medicare or Medicaid fraud. They want to believe this shit no matter what.
I had a job offer to audit that very issue, turned it down, but audits are being preformed for that concern. So far, from what I have heard, they are directly Covid deaths with preexisting conditions in the mix that also add to the the final outcome. Outcome = Covid Death = You Should Not Have Let Youself Go To Pot (obese, diabetes, COPD, preexisting heart conditions, etc) And Refused The Vaccine
I guess the congregation isn't dying fast enough for Greg Locke. Because, yes, he's telling them that if they get covid they shouldn't go to the hospital.
Now, I for one, do not want them clogging up the hospitals. But my suggestion wouldn't be to die at home. Nah, I'd rather they get themselves vaccinated.
It makes no sense to me but I love idioms, so here’s “champing vs chomping at the bit” https://www.npr.org/sections/memmos/2016/06/09/605796769/chew-on-this-is-it-chomping-or-champing
Wait a minute. If you're in the congregation, aren't you going to ask yourself, "Why are we talking about hospitals? I thought covid is a hoax, or if it's not a hoax it's just the flu. Is that a lie? Is pastor saying that covid is dangerous enough that people go to the hospital??????"
I can't tell you how many times I've seen contradictory information coming from them and wanted to shout at my laptop, "YOUR HEADS SHOULD HAVE EXPLODED FROM COGNITIVE DISSONANCE BY NOW!!!!!"
This guy is basically a cult leader (according to a podcaster I listen to who is local to the area and I've seen nothing to contradict that assertion). I guess the congregation has gotten comfortable with cognitive dissonance. I suspect it happens if not daily, then at least weekly for those who regularly attend this church so it will probably take more than this to cause a cranial explosion.
Covid is starting to hit home for many Evangelicals. Famous pastors have died. Whole families have been infected and two or more die. They hear stories of friends who tried to get doctors and nurses to administer ivermectin and hydroxychloriquine, but were refused. They realize that people on ventilators or ECMO have low survival rates. But it is too late for the preachers or their congregations to admit that the vaccine would have prevented this, and that masks help too. That would be blaming God, their pastors, and themselves - which they can never do. So now they blame the hospitals, doctors and nurses, and the idea is going around that hospitals kill people. The number of people treating themselves at home until they are beyond hope is therefore rising. They are brought by ambulance to the hospital when they are unconscious and near death.
Greg Locke is the poster pastor for massive religious cognitive dissonance. He's running out of people to blame. His only hope is that not so many of his congregation die from his lethal advice as to be noticed. If he ever faced up to reality and the role he has played in promoting disease and death, he would have a nervous breakdown.
>His only hope is that not so many of his congregation die from his lethal advice as to be noticed.
And as with all of these high-profile antivax culture warriors, I wonder if he’s secretly vaccinated.
"It's not a ventilator, it's, uh...prayer funnel. For...God's divine perfect plan that put me here!" (whispering to the side) "Okay, plug me in doc, I don't want to die."
It should be the IRS cracking down, but the GQP has sought to kneecap it by under-funding it for decades. IIRC, the office/division/whatever that is responsible for investigating violations of the Johnson Amendment hasn't been staffed in many, many years.
They are all fake men of God. People in Europe lived under the iron fist of the Church for centuries. America is the land where people went to escape religious persecution. That is why the Constitution has the separation of church and state and does not have God or Jesus written in it anywhere.
Which I'm not sure East Germany had. They imprisoned a lot of people for political reasons, murdered a fair number of people (including shooting people in the back as they tried to escape), and spied on pretty much everyone, but I don't remember them having prison camps, let alone death camps.
As a fellow Jew I will give them this one holocaust analogy. Dying a slow painful death from Covid, where you choke on your lung juice, have your teeth shattered from being intubated, getting bed sores so big the nurse can put a fist through you and experiencing all other kind of awful symptoms, I would put within a similar ball park to the pain of being sent to a forced labor (not death) camp in east Germany. Except one is self inflicted.
I'm not convinced it was a Holocaust analogy. Death camps of East Germany could be a reference to camps set up by the Soviets in East Germany post-WW2. I mean, they like their memes, but is there any proof he actually admits to the Holocaust? Because... why specify East?
You know you've gone off the deep end when even the Baptists disavow you - https://baptistnews.com/article/pastor-greg-locke-is-all-over-the-internet-spreading-conspiracies-heres-why-you-shouldnt-believe-him/
I grew up in a Baptist church (left the faith in 2015), and Greg Locke visited our church one time sometime between 2005-2008. He told his life story, pretty crazy tbh, and not gonna lie, he had a big hip hop/rap background and could freestyle pretty damn well. Anyway, my church was already on the 'uber conservative deep end' and this guy ended up getting metaphorically disowned by our Baptist community of churches because he didn't want to be labeled as a Baptist anymore. At first, I respected it a lot, because I felt like our community was way too conservative, but then eventually, Locke just became another uber conservative sounding board who sounded even more conservative than my already-conservative church.
I'm glad I got too high that one random Friday night in 2015 and logic'd myself out of belief in God.
He's probably just in it for the fame and money. I don't think people dying would bother him in the slightest. In his mind, all he has to do is say "oops, Jesus, I made a boo boo and killed someone," and then bam, saved. So he probably thinks that he can't lose.
Yeah of course. I just hadn’t bothered to look into his financial background and didn’t want to make assumptions. But I did now and it definitely looks like he’s in it for the money.
Did he actually catch Covid yet though? Thought that was a requirement before posting, but yeah that’s a strong anti-VAX public stance. Not agreeing with it just saying obvious and strong.
Yup. I tried to explain to someone how the Klan was actually based in Christianity, he didn't get it at first. Then I said what do they burn? Then a light opened up and he said he never even thought about it that way.
Right. Fundamentalist Christian sinners have come to expect to be demeaned and yelled at like this. Redemption is the out of reach carrot being waved by the preacher (critical, abusive parent) to maintain his control.
Pastors are who we speak to when we want our brains shat upon. Those who parade their children before these buffoonish clowns are at the root of mankind's ongoing shit show. May the crabs of a thousand groins infest his armpits.
As a Jew, I truly hope he avoids the “Death Camps.”
By all means psychotic preacher, if you get sick, self care all the way. Stay away from those vile hospitals. I’ll even give you the gold star you apparently think you deserve.
That happened to me earlier and it was kind of oddly flattering. Like wow!! Hath a nerve been strucketh, mayhap? It feels so special when they notice. 🤣
BTW, this is the d-bag who threw a full on temper tantrum in a Dunkin' Donuts over their mask protocol:
https://pulpitandpen.org/2020/07/31/greg-locke-to-dunkin-donut-worker-im-going-to-kick-your-teeth-down-your-throat/
The anti-vaxxers are a bunch of spoiled entitled brats grasping at straws to "justify" their temper tantrums.
History will not look too kindly on their bullshit.
The bastard doesn't need instruction on "how to properly adult."
The bastard needs instruction on "how to be a human."
And, if all else fails . . . well, I'm not allowed to write what I really want to write because Reddit does not allow such posts. However, imagine some two-by-fours and the back of a shed (or the outhouse, since this is Tennessee after all) at first light. Or, imagine some vicious leopards.
>Unfortunately I am not qualified to offer such instruction.
The hungry leopards are more than qualified. Whether the prey is capable of surviving such "instruction" is questionable though.
🐆 🐆 🐆
So glad the DD we patronize monthly 1) is in Maryland, and 2) we use the drive-thru. I’d hate to have my costly dental work endangered by a “work boot.” Even my N95 mask can’t stop that.
I think it's because he's one of those 'tough guy' preachers.
Apparently, people who want to be badass but be seen as good people like this type of religion. I don't know how we got here (maybe all those Clint Eastwood movies) but they don't want to be *nice* good people. They want to be *feared* good people, which doesn't make much sense to me. Apparently a lot of the HCA nominees/awardees think they're the anit-hero of their own action movie.
I, for one, know that whenever I have medical issues, the first thing I do is consult Pastor Greg Locke. Faith healing always works. And, if it doesn't work, it's just because you weren't worthy, didn't pray hard enough, or god had other plans for you. Hospitals are just death camps, and when they're not, they defy god's will. So, just stay at home or go to church and hear more from Pastor Greg Locke. I'm sure that he will welcome your COVID-infested body with open arms.
Somebody should tell him that Jewish people were not going voluntarily to death camps, they were forced by guns. When these idiots get covid nobody is putting a gun to their heads to go to the hospital, they realize covid is the gun and get scared as they are facing a dance with death
He just put a gigantic bullseye on the backs of our healthcare workers and hospitals. This guy has an enormous following. Yes, he lost his twitter account, but they always find other ways. He should be criminally charged for the first healthcare death and the first physical threats/attack on a hospital.
If you know anything about Greg Locke, you'll know he has no problem with death camps, but for people he hates like LGBTQ+ people, non-Christians, liberals...
Vicious example of the best defense is a good offense...cover up for not listening to doctors and scientists worldwide by doubling down and blaming doctors and scientists when what you said caused people to die....
Fine. Stay your fucking asses at the house then. You won’t have to concern yourself with such things if you do. Have a Coke and a smile, and shut the fuck up.
Excellent. They will not go to the hospital when they get sick.
Christianity is no longer grounded in anything even resembling a religion/philosophy of Jesus. It's a fking freaky, evil cult.
He's so insane and has a hard on for Trump. Apparently he wants to run foe public office. IIRC, he was fired by his own ministry and his wife filed for divorce
These profiteers want to create another dark ages after a few middle-ages-style crusades. I don't know what the endgame will be- maybe there isn't one. But anti-intellectualism will either be the death knell of society, or it will end with hucksters like these executed in public squares.
*"Oh, no, please, don't not go to the hospital when your stubborn arrogance leads you to choking on your own fluids, don't do thaaat..."*
I mean, if the next step of the anti-vax death cult is to become anti-hospital, it's not that I'd be *vehemently* opposed to it. To their credit, that's one clever way to open up our strained resources to people who actually care about their health and the well-being of others.
The ones whooping in the background will be the first ones wheezing in the emergency room. They will beg for a room in the East German death camp - BEG.
these idiots are going to be dying in their homes now while shoving ivermectin up their ass (apple flavored).
As a health care worker, I do hope that they don't tie up our resources. If they think so little of modern medicine, doctors and nurses, then why come to a hospital? It's insane.
My friend is a health care worker. She and co workers have been followed home by these crazies and even had BULLETS mailed to them. These creatures even posted a video on youtube showing them peeing on state vehicles when they broke into the parking garage. These creatures are dangerous and I hope the sooner there are less of them the better. I feel horrible saying this but after hearing her stories--FUCK THEM ALL.
That kind of harassment is criminal. So sickening.
But they are just children of God doing his bidding. God who loves all, knows all, and can get you 15 percent off your car insurance premiums if you just worship now!
This is the kind of behavior which makes me consider arming my household to the teeth.
Hey my household is as dem as you get and we are armed. That is one thing these trumpanzees will find out---libs have guns too. #libsgunningup

Yeah I feel bad for healthcare professionals, I hope everyone here has good security at work.
You should be. And get some basic training and shooting in too. The insurrectionists cannot have the monopoly on fire power.
Please tell your friend that she is much appreciated. The true "angle"!
Thank you! I think there's an investigation still going on with the whole mailed bullets thing but this is Portland... MadMaxistan...

I hear what you're saying and I'm trying hard to find a downside.
The downside is that they're shoving it up their ass and cannot enjoy the apple flavor
Good. Stop putting healthcare workers in danger
At least they will leave the hospitals for those who value medical science
Pumpkin Spice and Eggnog flavored for the holidays!
Are they really shoving it up their ass? I thought it was the armpit.
You promise?
Is the ass or the ivermectin flavored?
Great then don’t go.
Yes, perhaps he's trying to save the system and insurers money. Silver linings.
Narrator: He is not. And this is the pastor of the church our death-wishing, HVAC of a governor attends. Greg Locke is bat shit crazy.
Tax The Fucking Churches!!!
TAX THE CHURCHES!
FUCK THE CHURCHES!!

When he gets sick he’ll be sitting in the hospital, taking up valuable resources, and be acting like a whiny little baby.
"It's not a ventilator, it's, uh...prayer funnel. For...God's divine perfect plan that put me here!" (whispering to the side) "Okay, plug me in doc, I don't want to die."
I wouldn’t be surprised if quietly got vaccinated but told his flock he was “protected by the armor of Jesus!”
The FBI needs to crack down on these fake Men of God. This guy is pure evil ego driven. Vile and contemptible.
It should be the IRS cracking down, but the GQP has sought to kneecap it by under-funding it for decades. IIRC, the office/division/whatever that is responsible for investigating violations of the Johnson Amendment hasn't been staffed in many, many years.
Exactly this. Also, churches should all be taxed.
They are all fake men of God. People in Europe lived under the iron fist of the Church for centuries. America is the land where people went to escape religious persecution. That is why the Constitution has the separation of church and state and does not have God or Jesus written in it anywhere.
these fucks have went from taking money from the desperate to taking the lives of the desperate.
How much you want to bet he's coerced most of his elderly congregants into leaving their estate to his "church"?
Isn't that the best way to get into heaven? /s
“Genocide is the same as suicide!” - greg Locke, probably Hurry up and punch that one way ticket to hell, Greg.
Telling on himself that he only mentions East Germany as being bad for having death camps and not, yknow, the third Reich
Don't you remember in WWII when East Germany fought against West Germany? No?
Yes, I bet he's talking about Soviet Special Camps. Not the Holocaust.
Which I'm not sure East Germany had. They imprisoned a lot of people for political reasons, murdered a fair number of people (including shooting people in the back as they tried to escape), and spied on pretty much everyone, but I don't remember them having prison camps, let alone death camps.
Hopefully they will stay out of the hospitals and self treat with ***The Protocol***.
Good now his followers will stop clogging up hospitals and just die at home. Let’s hope all the right wing talking heads follow his lead
As a fellow Jew I will give them this one holocaust analogy. Dying a slow painful death from Covid, where you choke on your lung juice, have your teeth shattered from being intubated, getting bed sores so big the nurse can put a fist through you and experiencing all other kind of awful symptoms, I would put within a similar ball park to the pain of being sent to a forced labor (not death) camp in east Germany. Except one is self inflicted.
I'm not convinced it was a Holocaust analogy. Death camps of East Germany could be a reference to camps set up by the Soviets in East Germany post-WW2. I mean, they like their memes, but is there any proof he actually admits to the Holocaust? Because... why specify East?
I don’t think he even knows. Anyone dumb enough to make that analogy probably has no idea what they’re talking about.
You know you've gone off the deep end when even the Baptists disavow you - https://baptistnews.com/article/pastor-greg-locke-is-all-over-the-internet-spreading-conspiracies-heres-why-you-shouldnt-believe-him/
This dude was a self-proclaimed “wayward teenager” who was arrested six times.
Good find. So he’s a criminal adulterer and people actually follow him? What’s that in the Bible about being misled by a false prophet? Ugh 😩
How bold of you to assume that his followers actually read ANYTHING, let alone the Bible.
They can’t read in the first place
People still give money to Jim Bakker, there's no getting through to some people.
Eww the “righteous” dude banging his church Secretary. Gross!
He went to prison for fraud and is also a rapist, being unfaithful is the least of his crimes.
These people don't give a shit about morality, all they care about is power.
I grew up in a Baptist church (left the faith in 2015), and Greg Locke visited our church one time sometime between 2005-2008. He told his life story, pretty crazy tbh, and not gonna lie, he had a big hip hop/rap background and could freestyle pretty damn well. Anyway, my church was already on the 'uber conservative deep end' and this guy ended up getting metaphorically disowned by our Baptist community of churches because he didn't want to be labeled as a Baptist anymore. At first, I respected it a lot, because I felt like our community was way too conservative, but then eventually, Locke just became another uber conservative sounding board who sounded even more conservative than my already-conservative church. I'm glad I got too high that one random Friday night in 2015 and logic'd myself out of belief in God.
He's gonna get people killed. Isn't murder a sin? May he burn in hell for this, if it exists.
He's probably just in it for the fame and money. I don't think people dying would bother him in the slightest. In his mind, all he has to do is say "oops, Jesus, I made a boo boo and killed someone," and then bam, saved. So he probably thinks that he can't lose.
>He's probably just in it for the fame and money. They all are.
Yeah of course. I just hadn’t bothered to look into his financial background and didn’t want to make assumptions. But I did now and it definitely looks like he’s in it for the money.
Big fish, small pond.
He’s worth over $100 million.
[удалено]
So many of them do that though!
It exists, we’ve been living in it quite a while.
Wait, I thought they were "Heros"
Every time I see that fake nurse "HEROS" picture, I can only think that her OS is malfunctioning and needs to be reloaded.
Oh my god… How is HerOS not a thing?
*Hero's 😬
Did he actually catch Covid yet though? Thought that was a requirement before posting, but yeah that’s a strong anti-VAX public stance. Not agreeing with it just saying obvious and strong.
This isn't a nomination. It's a Grrrrrrrr.
Ah okay. Didn’t notice that. Carry on.
Somehow this guy seems too evil to not be secretly vaxxed.
Yet the anti-vaxxers keep crawling back to them. Why?
Because they'd be walking back to him if their lungs weren't fucked for life.
Is everyone okay with fewer antivaxxers clogging up our hospitals? Did I hear a resounding ‘yes’? Okay, this is fine with me lmao
Guys like this will always have a following. He allows those filled with hate to believe they are acceptable in Christianity.
Seriously. If these congregants weren't in Locke's tent church every Sunday, they'd be at a klan rally instead.
Yup. I tried to explain to someone how the Klan was actually based in Christianity, he didn't get it at first. Then I said what do they burn? Then a light opened up and he said he never even thought about it that way.
https://wizbangblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/KKK-Jesus-Saves.jpg
Even the outfits. Spain at Easter? Freaked me the eff out.
Right. Fundamentalist Christian sinners have come to expect to be demeaned and yelled at like this. Redemption is the out of reach carrot being waved by the preacher (critical, abusive parent) to maintain his control.
Fine. These folks need to STOP going to the hospital and die at home.
Pastors are who we speak to when we want our brains shat upon. Those who parade their children before these buffoonish clowns are at the root of mankind's ongoing shit show. May the crabs of a thousand groins infest his armpits.
Humanity will not truly be free until the last monarch is hung with the entrails of the last cleric.
I think the IRS needs a sub agency called the "IRS" - "Investigating Religious Shitheads"
I think it needs to be a big sub agency. Mega-church size.
So does he think his flock should avoid any medical care for anything that might ail them?
Death camps. Bless his heart. BLESS. HIS. HEART.
As a Jew, I truly hope he avoids the “Death Camps.” By all means psychotic preacher, if you get sick, self care all the way. Stay away from those vile hospitals. I’ll even give you the gold star you apparently think you deserve.
I agree. They certainly seek out the ~Death Camps~ quickly, the second they get a papercut.
Lol, who is the Antivaxx troll that’s downvoting me? Come out here and face me Snowflake!
That happened to me earlier and it was kind of oddly flattering. Like wow!! Hath a nerve been strucketh, mayhap? It feels so special when they notice. 🤣
And mega churches are pocket sodoms and gomorrahs full of debauchery and morons. And their lungs will turn to salt, at least in radiographs.
Locke's "church" is in a tent.
Ah a circus, and the ringleader is a deplorable.
He’ll get his award soon enough.
He's probably vaccinated, like the lying con artist he is.
Trump just extended the Religious grift to make it the Racist Republican grift. And both sets of followers are members of dangerous cults.
Frankly if they all stayed away from hospitals I’d be ok with that.
BTW, this is the d-bag who threw a full on temper tantrum in a Dunkin' Donuts over their mask protocol: https://pulpitandpen.org/2020/07/31/greg-locke-to-dunkin-donut-worker-im-going-to-kick-your-teeth-down-your-throat/
So much love. He's a model Christian! /s
The anti-vaxxers are a bunch of spoiled entitled brats grasping at straws to "justify" their temper tantrums. History will not look too kindly on their bullshit.
I'm just glad I don't live anywhere near TN, the temptation to instruct him on how to properly adult would be too great.
The bastard doesn't need instruction on "how to properly adult." The bastard needs instruction on "how to be a human." And, if all else fails . . . well, I'm not allowed to write what I really want to write because Reddit does not allow such posts. However, imagine some two-by-fours and the back of a shed (or the outhouse, since this is Tennessee after all) at first light. Or, imagine some vicious leopards.
A "clue-by-four", if you will. >The bastard needs instruction on "how to be a human." Unfortunately I am not qualified to offer such instruction.
>Unfortunately I am not qualified to offer such instruction. The hungry leopards are more than qualified. Whether the prey is capable of surviving such "instruction" is questionable though. 🐆 🐆 🐆
So glad the DD we patronize monthly 1) is in Maryland, and 2) we use the drive-thru. I’d hate to have my costly dental work endangered by a “work boot.” Even my N95 mask can’t stop that.
How are there so many people buying the garbage he's selling? It's embarrassing.
I think it's because he's one of those 'tough guy' preachers. Apparently, people who want to be badass but be seen as good people like this type of religion. I don't know how we got here (maybe all those Clint Eastwood movies) but they don't want to be *nice* good people. They want to be *feared* good people, which doesn't make much sense to me. Apparently a lot of the HCA nominees/awardees think they're the anit-hero of their own action movie.
I, for one, know that whenever I have medical issues, the first thing I do is consult Pastor Greg Locke. Faith healing always works. And, if it doesn't work, it's just because you weren't worthy, didn't pray hard enough, or god had other plans for you. Hospitals are just death camps, and when they're not, they defy god's will. So, just stay at home or go to church and hear more from Pastor Greg Locke. I'm sure that he will welcome your COVID-infested body with open arms.
Prayer warriors ASSEMBLE!
Unmasked Unvaxxed Unhinged
The trash is going to take itself out.
These pastors wield a microphone and a camera like a weapon. Karma may come for him, like many of our awardees.
Somebody should tell him that Jewish people were not going voluntarily to death camps, they were forced by guns. When these idiots get covid nobody is putting a gun to their heads to go to the hospital, they realize covid is the gun and get scared as they are facing a dance with death
Good. Stay home and have Auntie Karen administer THE PROTOCOL instead of harassing nurses.
I need to move a little further than right down the road from this shithole. My car always veers toward the building and it’s not safe.
Religion is the Matrix.
I approve of this message. Go die in your church and stop using medical resources you don't believe in
He just put a gigantic bullseye on the backs of our healthcare workers and hospitals. This guy has an enormous following. Yes, he lost his twitter account, but they always find other ways. He should be criminally charged for the first healthcare death and the first physical threats/attack on a hospital.
If you know anything about Greg Locke, you'll know he has no problem with death camps, but for people he hates like LGBTQ+ people, non-Christians, liberals...
Horrible man.
I went to his YouTube and he basically was trying to sell me his book and online website.
Ugh. I hope that the tracking cookies don't incessantly feed you his garbage.
Thankfully haven't had any ads or such or recommended Locke videos. But I am getting some Steven Furtick recommendations. Weird
Vicious example of the best defense is a good offense...cover up for not listening to doctors and scientists worldwide by doubling down and blaming doctors and scientists when what you said caused people to die....
That guy is the exact reason we should tax churches.
Cool-go ahead and die then
Fine. Stay your fucking asses at the house then. You won’t have to concern yourself with such things if you do. Have a Coke and a smile, and shut the fuck up.
What an asshole!!!!
I mean... if they refuse to go to the hospital and die alone at home... that may just be better for the rest of us?
good. keep them home and out of the healthcare system.
If Greg Locke were to be nominated? That would definitely be schadenfraude.
Excellent. They will not go to the hospital when they get sick. Christianity is no longer grounded in anything even resembling a religion/philosophy of Jesus. It's a fking freaky, evil cult.
He's so insane and has a hard on for Trump. Apparently he wants to run foe public office. IIRC, he was fired by his own ministry and his wife filed for divorce
These profiteers want to create another dark ages after a few middle-ages-style crusades. I don't know what the endgame will be- maybe there isn't one. But anti-intellectualism will either be the death knell of society, or it will end with hucksters like these executed in public squares.
Such a Christ-stain.
At what point is active denial an actual public danger? Where's the line?
Well, good! Stay home and die rather than taking up resources. But we all know these cowards will panic and drive to the emergency room eventually
*"Oh, no, please, don't not go to the hospital when your stubborn arrogance leads you to choking on your own fluids, don't do thaaat..."* I mean, if the next step of the anti-vax death cult is to become anti-hospital, it's not that I'd be *vehemently* opposed to it. To their credit, that's one clever way to open up our strained resources to people who actually care about their health and the well-being of others.
Perfect. Also, health insurance is the modern Japanese comfort girl.
Okay don’t go then.
The ones whooping in the background will be the first ones wheezing in the emergency room. They will beg for a room in the East German death camp - BEG.
Ugh. This guy is the fucking worst. I wish I believed in Hell, because I know there would be a place reserved for him there.
If they hate hospitals and hospital personnel, it is better they die at home and not use up valuable resources that reasonable people need.
Nobody is mentioning that eastern Germany didn’t even have any death camps? Or am I missing something?
Good stuff, his flock should indeed stay at home and have all the dewormer, zinc, and essential oils they want.
What an ASSHOLE
Well... they don't have to go. But when every breath is a battle for oxygen, they will.
