I did add a disclaimer. I assume you read that. There isn't anything especially about the religious right, but it wouldn't be far away. Even if it isn't, I felt this more than qualified for the crazy stupid part.

That's you making up your own conspiracy theory.

Whatever. If it bothers you so much, ask a mod to delete or move it. I thought it was worth calling to people's attention and it seemed to fit here better than elsewhere. I really don't see the problem you are making.

Description is from YouTube poster. It must make fo an awkward home situation because God created the virus, but his son going to the destroy it.

Judgment Is Executed on COVID-19

Kenneth Copeland Ministries

Kenneth Copeland stands in the office of a prophet of God, , he declared that judgment be executed on COVID-19:

"In the Name of Jesus, standing in the office of the prophet of God, I execute judgment on you COVID-19. I execute judgment on you, satan, you destroyer, you killer. You get out. I break your power. You get off this nation. I demand judgment on you. I demand. I demand.

"I demand a vaccination to come immediately. I call you done. I call you gone. You come down from your place of authority, destroyer. You come down and you crawl on your belly like God commanded you when He put His foot on your head in the Garden of Eden. You will destroy through COVID-19 no more.

'It is finished! It is over! And the United States of America is healed and well again,' saith the mighty Spirit called Peace, who is also the Prince of War, the Lord Jesus Christ."

This. He can then say "God is testing me."

If he survives he will say his prayers - and your money! - saved him.

If he dies, people will say he sacrificed himself to go and talk to God directly.

So Jerry Fallwell Jr has resigned from "Liberty" University. The scandalous allegations may be true - what a surprise:

A former pool attendant turned business partner of Jerry Falwell Jr. claims he engaged in a years-long sexual relationship with the recently departed Liberty University president and his wife, stoking renewed controversy surrounding the leading Christian conservative figurehead and President Trump ally.

What a family:

Then from the bat-sh*t crazy American evangelical scene, you'd hope for better from the generally more moderate and sometimes sane traditional churches - but nope:

The Australian Government last week signed an agreement with UK-based drug company AstraZeneca to secure 25 million doses of the potential COVID-19 vaccine if it clears trials.

In a letter signed by Anglican Archbishop Glenn Davies, Catholic Archbishop of Sydney Anthony Fisher and Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia Archbishop Makarios, the Prime Minister was urged to reconsider the deal.

The archbishops said they supported a COVID-19 vaccine in principle but harvesting "foetal tissue was deeply immoral".

While they did not explicitly call for a boycott of the vaccine, they said members of their congregations might consider their "individual conscience" and refuse a vaccine even if no other alternative was available to them.

Stupid, stupid morons.

Even stupider than that. I saw something on CNN where a specialist pointed out that this is a standard manufacturing technique that has been used for nearly all vaccines for many years. I didn't catch all the details, but I think that was the gist of it.

"Alaska’s attorney general sent hundreds of ‘uncomfortable’ texts to a female colleague"

Late last year, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy wrote President Donald Trump asking for a favor on behalf of his appointed attorney general, Kevin Clarkson.

In a Dec. 2 letter, the governor asked Trump to help Clarkson’s wife and stepson overcome immigration obstacles in order to leave Colombia and join him in Alaska.

“Over the past year, I have found Attorney General Clarkson to be a wise and trusted legal advisor, a man of exceptional character, and a devoted husband and father,” the governor told Trump. Before being appointed in late 2018, Clarkson had been a champion of Christian conservative views on social issues such as same-sex marriage and abortion.

Today, Clarkson is on a monthlong leave of absence without pay, the Department of Law said in response to a records request. Without any public notice or explanation from the state, an acting attorney general has been appointed in his place.

Records obtained by the Anchorage Daily News and ProPublica show the abrupt and unusual absence came after a junior state employee raised concerns about 558 text messages that Clarkson sent to her personal phone in March.

Over a 27-day span, the attorney general asked the woman to come to his house at least 18 times, often punctuating the messages with kiss emoji and comments about the much-younger woman’s beauty.

Jerry Fallwell Jr is proudly homophobic, anti-LGBT+

Politico: ‘She was the aggressor’: Former Liberty student alleges sexual encounter with Becki Falwell

A former student at the evangelical university opens up about a 2008 incident with the wife of the school’s president.

A former Liberty University student says Becki Falwell, the wife of the university’s then-President Jerry Falwell Jr., jumped into bed with him and performed oral sex on him while he stayed over at the Falwell home after a band practice with her eldest son in 2008.

The student was 22 at the time of the encounter, near the start of Liberty’s fall semester. He said she initiated the act, and he went along with it. But despite his rejection of further advances, he said, Falwell continued pursuing him, offering him gifts and engaging in banter through Facebook messages.

“She was the aggressor,” he said.

The messages, screenshots of which were provided by the former student to POLITICO, suggest a flirtatious relationship that went beyond what might be expected of a mother communicating with her son’s bandmate.

I think the Mormons were in the news around Covid-19. Honestly I think it may have been "good news" since they took the virus seriously early, but I can't remember.

I guess most people don't know that Mormons are strict on wearing magic underwear and not growing a beard without a doctor’s approval.

The wear magic underwear that's been officially described as their “Armor of God” that helps its wearer wage war against spiritual darkness and wickedness, including “the onslaught of immorality, crime, substance abuse, and other insidious influences threatening our society”

If Mormons appears on your doorstep, just ask about "temple garments", polygamy, or what happened to their ancestors when they were baptized. That'll be sure to get rid of them.

Mormons are by and large honest, hardworking, decent people. If two sincere young folks who have been walking around in the hot sun wearing dark clothing since first thing in the morning appear on your doorstep, politely tell them you're not interested but they're welcome to have a glass of cold water and sit down for a bit.

I detest the brainwashing of young people to believe in lies thru indoctrination and threats by a Narcissistic cult, but you're right, Mormons tend to be honest, very hard working people - certainly every LDS member I've ever met in NZ or in Utah is.

I like to blow their minds, when they knock on my door here by shaking their hands, and giving them their secret "heaven entry VIP queue" handshake back to them

My brother and nieces moved to Salt Lake city. The experience with Mormons started OK, but when they made it clear they were not converting it became very unpleasant.

Mormons abroad may have a good reputation, but they still have a very decidedly dark reputation. Like many cults, it's all or nothing. If you leave, no Mormon will ever have anything to do with you, including any family that isn't Mormon.

They often fight the separation of church and state.

In the US, the opposed Equal Rights Amendment.

They were very aggressive trying to defeat California's successful anti-gay marriage proposition, in the tune of millions of dollars and countless hours trying to defeat it.

From the Guardian

James Harmston's letters to his youngest bride threaten fire and brimstone for her refusal to sleep with him. Not only would Rachael, 43 years his junior, have "a lonely miserable life" in this world for not going to his bed, but it would be far worse in the next.

"Rachael, the facts are, whether you want to believe or not, the end is coming and judgment will be executed in severity, especially for those who have broken their covenants," Mr Harmston wrote, adding: "For certain I will deal with you in the future eternity."

He signed himself "Your Husband, King and Priest", and sent copies of his letters to five of his 18 wives, one of whom was Rachael's mother, Pauline.

They would be troubling letters from any jilted husband. But from Mr Harmston - the self-declared prophet of a polygamist and apocalyptic sect, the True and Living Church of Jesus Christ of Saints of the Last Days - they were terrifying.

They also shine a light on a dark place in the American west. Polygamy is something that has officially been consigned to history, but it is still very much alive.

Watchdog groups believe there could be between 30,000 and 100,000 Americans living in polygamy today, many of them in Utah, where the practice first took root, and others scattered across the North American continent.

They live independently, shut up in reclusive homes out of public sight, or in self-contained communes governed by idiosyncratic rules and beliefs.

But everywhere it goes, critics and former sect members argue, polygamy takes with it the danger of institutionalised abuse of women and children, over whom it gives men supreme power.

Rachael Strong is now 21 and has broken free of Mr Harmston and the sect. Since she and her mother walked out some nine months ago, they have been living scarcely 100 metres away from the True and Living Church (known here as TLC) in the small town of Manti, and her former husband continues to cast a long shadow. "I wasn't going to argue with him. He was the prophet," Ms Strong said, cradling her two-year-old daughter Kirsten, the offspring of an earlier polygamous marriage within the sect.

"Nobody would help me. Everyone was scared of Jim. He got up in church and said if any wife disobeyed him, he would send her to hell for a thousand years.

Interesting to see an article on NZ Herald today saying the evangelical church that is at centre of the new covid cluster in Auckland is "heavily influenced by US ties". and they don't believe in science or trust the government.

Yes, that kind of crap - the misinformation virus - spreads like actual viruses.
