https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/deanna-lorraine-claims-that-god-does-not-want-us-wearing-masks/During a livestream broadcast yesterday, Trump cultist, QAnon conspiracy theorist, and failed congressional candidate DeAnna Lorraine warned her viewers that God does not want them wearing masks to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
After saying that she doesnt want any kind of vaccine ever, Lorraine declared she will absolutely not receive any eventual COVID-19 vaccine because it will be full of mouse genes and robotic nanoparticles.
I dont want robotic nanoparticles in my body, she said. We dont want any of that crap.
Biblically, God does not want us wearing masks, Lorraine added. Masks are a symbol of hiding yourself, of doing bad deeds, inappropriate deeds, or malicious things that you need to hide from. And it is also a symbol of stripping us of our unique identity because [when] were wearing a mask, were not unique anymore, were all the same. And God doesnt see us that way.

This is simply extremist content to gain eyeballs to maintain her platform and to generate a revenue stream.

(115,951 posts)IIRC, when he kicked Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, they suddenly realized they were naked and got themselves some pants, like God intended. Or are pants also "a symbol of hiding yourself, of doing bad deeds, inappropriate deeds, or malicious things that you need to hide from," since pants hide the sexy bits and the fundies are totally hung up on sex being bad, unless you're a Republican at a convention looking for hookers.

(43,049 posts)But, every time I hear one of these sky pilots tell me what God wants with such surety, I have to ask when was the last time he or she talked to God, and is there a recording or video? Even an email, Tweet, or blog post?
I'm sure the all-knowing Deity could figure out how to set up a Zoom conference so we could all hear Him speak of it.
But, no. It's some secret knowledge infused into the faithful so they don't have to prove a damn thing-- just declare it.
Well, lady, just shut up and put your damn mask on.

Leviticus 13:45 -- "Anyone with such a defiling disease must wear torn clothes, let their hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of their face and cry out, Unclean! Unclean!"
maybe DeAnna Lorraine only read the parts about punishing gays...

(14,178 posts)Do I see a future where nanobots may be employed to fight disease? Even to be used nefariously? Sure. But use your noggin Lorraine. To create that many individual microscopic nanobots, and produce all those vaccines with at least one in ever dose, would cost a lot. And what exactly would they do? The government can already track individuals much better these days, and have the right to get any internet information if they have suspicion of bad behaviour. Corporations have information on each of us through our net activity.
What would be the purpose? To actually control us like zombies? How do you do that with a tiny nanobot? Fascinating. Or make us vote Democratic when we really were going to vote Republican? Do they think this is possible? Why would the federal government even want to try anything like this? And how is there no whistleblowers if its such a huge expensive project, which it would be.
Anyways, I know I'm arguing with the moon

Because of course God can only see and hear you on Sunday - and apparently now can only see your uniqueness when you're not wearing a mask. Sheesh.

29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord. 30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. 31 But Moses called to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the community came back to him, and he spoke to them. 32 Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.
33 When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil over his face. 34 But whenever he entered the Lords presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out. And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, 35 they saw that his face was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord.

(12,689 posts)He also wants us to bow our heads before him and not look upon him (Ark of the Covenant, anyone?). So all he is going to see of us will be some hats and scarves when he comes looking at us, I guess.
As it is, it's not difficult to recognize someone you love in a mask that just covers the mouth and nose. Heck, you can recognize someone you know from the back - not seeing the face - most times without trying really hard.
So her God isn't omniscient enough to know people by their souls, and certainly not omnipotent. Her God apparently doesn't care about anyone unless he gets worship and his own way. He's blind, simple, and petty.
Or maybe, her God is made in her own image instead of the other way around.

(21,684 posts)every time drumpf tweets anything she immediately praises him for being such a fantastic leader........ it is rather like watching a little toady licking the boots of the king to try and curry favor. what is pathetic is doubt he has any clue she even exists, and wouldn't spit on her if she were on fire.
it is actually kind of sad. seeing her messages just makes me think....... what happens to someone in their life to put them in a place where groveling at someone else's feet (drumpf or whoever) is basically their career? What does she think when she looks in a mirror? Is she proud of what she sees?
