April 10, 2020 was designated by the Lord’s prophet as an international day of prayer and fasting to end the coronavirus outbreak. Conveniently, the Lord chose Good Friday when Catholics around the world are also starving themselves and avoiding eating meat. The combined faith of the Catholic tradition of hundreds of years, and of the naive Mormons who were encouraging others to fast completely unaware that there are faith traditions ten times older than their own, was to bring an end to the hellish nightmare we find ourselves in today.

And as ineffective as Kenneth Copeland’s blowing the wind of God to vanquish COVID-19, the fast failed to make a dent in the outbreak as it hits its worst day yet in the US (though far less funny as the wind of God).

So much for people starving themselves for a day and posting about how righteous they are.

Was it your pride that failed to impact the virus? Was yesterday just a test of your faith? Or did you not starve yourself enough? Maybe God didn’t care about your fast because he invented the virus and wants people to die? Maybe there is no God and you’re living in a self imposed prison of belief and shame for no reason? Maybe you’ll refuse to see how dramatically faith failed yesterday because you personally felt good about it, regardless of the fact that more people in the US died in one day than ever before?
