Not really Covid related - but didn't need its own thread either
=======================================
A pastor from a megachurch in Tulsa, Oklahoma, faced a wave of criticism online over video of him rubbing spit on a worshipper’s face.
During a sermon on Sunday, Michael Todd, a 34-year-old lead pastor at Transformation church, spat into his hand twice.
“Receiving vision from God might get nasty,” he said, before turning to the man on the stage.
The incident came about 40 minutes into a two-hour service, when Todd discussed Mark 8:22-25, a Bible passage in which Jesus restores a blind man’s sight in the village of Bethsaida by rubbing spit on to his eyes.
The parishioner in Tulsa was identified as Todd’s brother, Brentom Todd. When Todd rubbed his hands on to his brother’s face, the audience let out an audible gasp.
Todd responded: “How you just reacted is how the people in your life will react when God is doing what it takes for the miracle.”
As clips went viral, Todd faced a wave of criticism online. Many condemned his actions as an ill-advised publicity stunt at a time when Covid-19 cases continue to rise across the US.
Just in the last 14 days, according to the New York Times Covid-19
tracker, cases rose by 287% in Oklahoma alone............
