Only in The South: A church usher dies from COVID-19, and his pastor says it's a lie......

Louisiana pastor Tony Spell is in trouble again.

After it was reported that Harold Orillion, 78, an usher at Spell's Life Tabernacle Church, had passed away due to complications from COVID-19, Spell claimed it was a lie, and that the usher had died "of a broken heart" over an unrelated matter.

Spell has even gone so far as to suggest his congregation donate their incoming stimulus checks to Life Tabernacle. And that's assuming Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards doesn't shut Spell down first.

While I get that Spell and his flock believe their faith will pull them through the pandemic, Spell has steadfastly refused to comply with Edwards' orders to "shelter in place". As we've previously noted, Spell won't do an online service, because it takes away the laying on of hands of ailing parishoners. Dude, you can still pray for them.

A pastor in Virginia had passed away recently after trying to keep his church open. Virginia is one of the states where there are active protests supported by President Trump to try to end the "shelter in place" mandates. Like, hello? Trump was encouraging people to "shelter in place" in the first place. It makes you wonder how much pressure has gotten to Trump..........
