Not the Babylon Bee.

He practiced what he preached — then he died of coronavirus.
An evangelical pastor died of COVID-19 just weeks after proudly showing off how packed his Virginia church was — and vowing to keep preaching “unless I’m in jail or the hospital.”
In his last known in-person service on March 22, Bishop Gerald O. Glenn got his congregation at Richmond’s New Deliverance Evangelistic Church to stand to prove how many were there despite warnings against gatherings of more than 10 people.
“I firmly believe that God is larger than this dreaded virus. You can quote me on that,” he said, repeating it a second time to claps, saying that “people are healed” in his church.
Happily announcing he was being “controversial” by being “in violation” of safety protocols — with “way more than 10 people” at the church — he vowed to keep his church open “unless I’m in jail or the hospital.”
“I am essential,” he said of remaining open, adding, “I’m a preacher — I talk to God!”
On Sunday, his church announced “with an exceedingly sorrowful and heavy heart” that the pastor had died a week after being diagnosed with COVID-19.

If his faith was as true as his words then I guarantee you he had no regrets on his death bed.

Died doing what he loved and not cowering in fear.
Good for him.

Leftists will treat this as a gotcha but I guarantee that pastor wouldn't change a damn thing about having service if he could go back.

This man likely didn't even die from the coronavirus. The media is always trying to scare people especially Black people into following liberals.

I hate myself for laughing at that

Better to die free and true to your beliefs than to live as a controlled subject to an oppressive state.
He has my respect

He isn't Nancy Pelosi telling people to go out to mass gatherings in Chinatown at the start of the spread to prove they aren't racist

He was a Democrat, almost assuredly. He gave the invocation at Warner’s swearing in.

Oh no doubt. Probably preached against Trump during most services. A lot of black church services are more of a political rally than they are an avenue to praise God. That doesn't change the fact many leftists will use this to rail on "conservative Christians" in the deep south without ever even realizing the guy is black.

By and large, black democrats are not leftists; they’re hoodwinked.

Exactly.

If we include mental disease with the physical disease, that's Christianity in a nutshell.
