Jim Baker stated " God Can’t Hear Prayers Through A Mask", see the replies here[cite](https://www.boredpanda.com/televangelist-god-prayers-roast/?cexp_id=42438&cexp_var=1&_f=featured&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=Newsletter) I don’t know if this is the correct place, but is definitely stupid.

Bakker, but yes, he’s explicitly saying God can be stopped by a thin strip of cloth or paper. ---

I’m sure it’s not the mask itself that is stopping the prayer. It is the lack of true faith shown by the person who feels the need to wear a mask instead of depending on his faith to protect them from a disease that doesn’t exist. I mean, give the man credit for a minimum of common, um, something. ---

Tempting us by telling us to take risks and God will swoop down and save us if we have sufficient faith? Jim Bakker sidelines as Satan tempting Jesus in the desert? Nice one ---

I guess all them people cramming the ICUs in the Bible Belt are unbelievers, just claiming to be Christians. And the preachers that die got it and died…not really very faithful, even though they were telling OTHERS to forget masks if you are faithful. No TRUE Scotsman would get COVID ---

I’m surprised that in all the years I’ve known him Jim Bakker still hasn’t figured out that God doesn’t answer the prayers of ~~iron charioteers~~ people that ride in cars. ---

Well, here’s some really stupid MFers. > **[FCC proposes $5M fine for election robocalls from conservative activists](https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2021/08/24/fcc-proposes-5-m-fine-election-robocalls-conservative-activists/5578421001/)** > > Conservative activists facing felony charges in Michigan for alleged robocalls discouraging mail-in voting now face a more than $5 million FCC fine The FCC fine is related to 1,141 unlawful robocalls to wireless phones between Aug. 26 and Sept. 14, according to the agency. The messages told people that voting by absentee ballot would ensure “personal information will be part of a public database that will be used by police departments to track down old warrants and be used by credit card companies to collect outstanding debts.” I wonder if daddy has enough money to pay the fine? ---
