Pastor Tony Spell held an in-person Easter service, as promised, and says he had more than 1,000 faithful parishioners there ... defying Louisiana's Governor and potentially spreading the coronavirus.

The minister was fired up for his flock Sunday at Life Tabernacle Church, and though he's previously been arrested for doing this -- he opened church doors again to his congregation, but also posted his service live on social media.

Spell claims he had 1,345 in attendance -- which he says is higher than his usual turnout. We say claims, because the congregation was rarely shown. We don't know if it was intentional, but the camera never showed more than a couple of rows of pews.

Idiots like this will just keep the government being over-aggressive since the population is apparently too stupid to just practice social distancing without being forced.

From a purely epidemiological standpoint, I would like to see what the infection or spread rate is among the people who gathered and whether that spread rate is substantially greater than that of the general quarantining population.

Some people act like this is some kind of stand up for Christ thing, but all it really is is a really bad witness, especially since Christ Himself instructed His followers to submit to their governing authority, and staying home and watching church service, or gathering with 2 or more in your home to pray and read the Bible IS church, not a building.

They know that. They just don’t care.

Yes and no. If this gets extended beyond April 30, expect this to happen more and more as people get tired of the chicken little mentality of what is going on. People are going to have to go back to normal life at some point before we cannot.

The tone of that makes it sounds like he might be lying.

They use an extra quarter box of Kleenex and a few drams of Theraflu?
