Just Deserts... Or - The King James Version vs. Darwin.

Remember the Life Tabernacle Church near Baton Rouge?
They were in the news for refusing to follow the state's Stay -At-Home rule.

Remember Pastor Tony Spell ?
He had been in national headlines for the past few weeks because of his refusal to follow his state’s ban on large gatherings and busing in his 'flock' to fill his tithe.

Well members of his megachurch got Covid 19...and then he got Covid19.
Now he's dead.
He's expired and gone to meet his maker! He's a stiff!
Bereft of life, 'He rests in peace! He's pushing up the daisies! '
His metabolic processes are now history! '
He's off the twig! 'He's kicked the bucket,
He's shuffled off  his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!!
THIS IS AN EX-PASTOR!!

On Easter, his church held a massive service with 1100 attendees  Harold Orillion, 78, was one of six people in the Baton Rouge area to pass away Wednesday from COVID-19. Spell confirmed that Orillion was a member of the church. The coroner listed acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, and COVID-19 as causes of death, but Spell (who had no medical credentials whatsoever) disagrees. “That is a lie!,” he told WAFB news yesterday.
It is not clear what Spell believes killed Orillion or how he would know.
And the Church lawyer Jeff Wittenbrink, 56, has also fallen ill and has been hospitalized.
Louisiana’s The Advocate reports that he has a high fever and a severe cough.
 He is on oxygen but is expected to recover.

Spell & his lawyer argued that religious freedom meant that his church could not be stopped from holding services. Central Police Chief Roger Corcoran accused Spell of putting people’s lives at risk for “his own self-promotion.”
“Mr. Spell will have his day in court where he will be held responsible for his reckless and irresponsible decisions that endangered the health of his congregation and our community,” Corcoran said.

Well Spell will not have a day in court or anywhere else either.
“I firmly believe that God is larger than this virus. You can quote me on that,” he said.
 “I am essential. I’m a preacher — I talk to God!”
But a week later, it seems God may not have been happy to receive his phone call.
The minister has died from COVID-19. His wife is also sick.
I hate to say good riddance to ANY human being...that is wrong on many levels.
But I will say...I can find no tears on this occasion.

Pastor Tony Spells...RIP.   (Rot In Pieces)
