PA Lawmaker's Resolution Says COVID-19 is God's "Punishment" for Our Sins [View all]
What are politicians doing to help people in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak?
Republican State Rep. Stephanie Borowicz of Pennsylvania is doing her part by filing a bill, House Resolution 835, calling on everyone to pray and not eat.
Because that’s how you defeat a virus in crazytown.
This is theocratic wish fulfillment. Just read through the language for “A State Day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer.” Borowicz literally says that God sent this pandemic as a “punishment inflicted upon us for our presumptuous sins.”
