The senior vice president of communications for the National Religious Broadcasters was FIRED Friday, August 27th, 2021, for saying people should get vaccinated against COVID-19.
FIRED.
FOR SAYING VACCINATION IS GOOD.
We've seen this before. This is part of how you make something a religious tenant: purge just enough people that everyone gets the message. Most people will end up going along, because God Said, Apparently, and that's good enough for them.
But that doesn't change that they're making disease protection against their religion. I mean, sure, we've seen this plenty of times before in various religions in the past, but... it's not the kind of thing you expect to see more of in this day and age.
They haven't succeeded yet - and it may not work - but right now, that's where it's heading.
