GOP Rep: I Won’t Wear A Mask Because Jesus Didn’t Wear A Mask
Read Time:54 Second
Let’s face it, you have to give this idiot props for original nuttiness. Then again I suppose religious zealots can rationalize just about any damn thing that pops into their brains.
An Ohio state representative said he will not wear a mask for religious reasons. Rep. Nino Vitale also calls the orders keeping many Ohio businesses closed invalid.
Vitale represents Champaign, Logan and Shelby counties northeast of Columbus.
In a Facebook post, he criticizes the policies of Gov. Mike DeWine and Dr. Amy Acton, especially their suggestions for customers to wear masks and the requirements from employees to do so.
“This is not the entire world. This is the greatest nation on earth founded on Judeo-Christian Principles. One of those principles is that we are all created in the image and likeness of God. That image is seen the most by our faces. I will not wear a mask.”

What is this for a stupid page? Face diaper wearing fanatics? Willingly slaves, obedient to every “authorities”? Outsourcing the brain and responsibilities to “experts”? Jesus or not, why should a free human being wear a mask?
I’m so ashamed to be a human being.
But he will carry a gun because Jesus – um well. . .
Ok so this god looks like a Puerto Rican/Indian (dot not feathers) woman, I’m good with that. That being said what A FUCKING TOOL, when everyone else is trying to keep his gooper ass safe. On the other hand, if he gets it and dies…well yaknow.
As far as evidence goes, Jesus never even existed. I’ve decided that although the isolation and masks are inconvenient, annoying and devastating to my business and life, I’m willing for it to go on long enough to help evolution remove evangelicals and trumpanzees. The human species will be smarter without them.
Ha! “I’m willing for it to go on long enough to help evolution remove evangelicals and trumpanzees. The human species will be smarter without them.” Hear! Hear!
One of the piece-O-shit phrases I always challenge is that Judeo-Christian trope. There is not now nor has there ever been such a thing and Christianity as an anti-Jewish sect originated as such in it’s early days. There is no factual or philosophical or any other basis for this claim. It’s as supportable as a quetzalcoatl-Krishna-Cthulhu ethic.
And of course nobody knows what Jesus wore or looked like although of late I’ve seen him portrayed as a Rastafarian which is as idiotic as the blonde, lanky haired-versions that are universal today. Nobody knows how light or dark he was or anything in fact about his ancestry. Did he ever wrap a cloth around his face to keep out the dust? Wanna bet on that?
Now all you “bible is the word of God” bullshitters may think it’s God’s voice speaking through Paul of Tarsus when he said long hair was disgraceful for a man, but why am I explaining anything to someone a monkey wouldn’t want as a descendant? Nobody knows what he looked like or who his father was!
I once read a journal article that made the claim religion is now part of the gene population. In other words, it’s been around so long that people are now programmed to accept a superior being, and by that, I don’t mean one as great as Donald J. Trump, as the evangelicals will claim. No, apparently, since so many millions of human beings embrace a belief that is so silly, so nonsensical, it’s almost as if a TV Game Show host could get elected to the most powerful office in the land. That being said, and all BS aside, I cannot, for the life understand how intelligent people can believe in the beard in the sky, and, of all things, the resurrection, just to name a few, but they do. By the billions.
I’m sure it’s genetic. After all, like Baboons and Gorillas, we are social animals with a strong need to seek the protection of the biggest nastiest ape. Humans have just learned to project the need into the sky. And of course we’re the only ape that seems to know we’re going to die.
Personally I do think there was a historical core around which the mythological Jesus was built. There were many anti-Roman activists trying to restore the throne of David in fact and the literature is voluminous but the public isn’t encouraged to read it. I’ve spent years doing that. I’ve been a follower of The Jesus Seminar since the 1980s. I particularly like The Historical Jesus by John Dominic Crossan but the group, founded by Robert Funk is all about rigorous scholarship.
On line it’s all Sunday School stories for Children embedded in a matrix of hate and bigotry.
No, I don’t know how intelligent people can hold two mutually exclusive views on existence and that’s why I insist sanity is another myth for the most part.
