Well, you know, when Jesus was coining that aphorism, a mustard seed was pretty much the smallest thing he could think of that people would be able to relate to. If everybody had known about viruses then, he probably would have said “faith as small as a virus”… ---

I was coming to post the same thing. He’s in the ICU and still saying “meh, do what you want”. What a fucking moron. I know it would be awful for insurance to deny coverage based on stupidity, but that bill should be partially paid for by this dipshit. Two weeks in ICU is an expensive bill. ---

Religious douchebag extraordinaire Tony Spell’s appeal to the Supreme Court has been denied. He will (hopefully) now have to face criminal charges for repeatedly violating Covid restrictions by having large, indoor, maskless gatherings. And for almost hitting a protestor with his Church bus. He’s already lost his lawsuit against the governor’s coronavirus restrictions, so we will see if he actually gets punished for repeatedly risking the lives of thousands of people. ---
