For Christians, Dying From COVID (Or Anything Else) Is A Good Thing
Joy Pullman, writing for The Federalist
I’m guessing that this fact may well have been the motivation for the placing of a “demonic” statuette of the Grim Reaper in a gazebo at the Community of Faith Church in Houston, Texas.
On July 3 the church posted a photo of the statuette on its Facebook page, saying:
The COF is facing a season of unusual demonic assault. Today, a statue used for devil worship was found on our property in a hard to see place. A skull of the grim reaper, a symbol used to announce curses and death.
The small figure was discovered outside the church in the rafters of a gazebo.

Bishop James Dixon, above, said:
It’s disheartening. It is sad to think that people would do something like that. It’s a statue that announces curses … the curse of death … the Grim Reaper with the sickle … We destroyed the works of the devil.
Dixon said it was important to burn the image, as he considers it an attack on all people of faith, not simply his house of worship.
The statuette was discovered just a week after vandals were caught on camera stealing a safe from the church, making it necessary for it to splash out funds to upgrade its security systems.
A critique of Pullman’s article
In analysing Pullman’s article, Adam Lee, writing for OnlySky, wrote:
Pullman isn’t merely arguing that Christians shouldn’t fear death. She’s arguing that they should welcome death, to the point of fighting against rules and precautions intended to keep them alive. She goes so far as to say that wanting to stay alive is a heathen idea!
‘Death cult’ is an inflammatory term, and I don’t use it lightly. However, this is an instance where it’s literally appropriate. It’s a factual descriptor of a belief system that values death above continued life.
