Yet another.

This site never celebrates, laughs, takes any pleasure, all that, when anyone passes. We just refuse, we aren’t losing our soul as humans in political fights. It is just, sometimes it’s impossible to feel sorry for the person. We do feel for the family, especially a younger person, a victim that was 64, one who almost surely ran into Delta, the dominant strain now.

But this was no regular victim. This man has had his hand in the passing of many other people, and if the message stopped today, maybe then we might say it was positive. But Marcus Lamb founded what became a giant Christian television network and we doubt they will change their stance simply because the messenger passed away.

Which is stunning. According to the Washington Post:

Marcus Lamb, founder of the large Christian television network Daystar, died Tuesday after contracting the coronavirus. Lamb’s network during the pandemic has made the virus a huge focus, calling it satanic and that it should not be treated with vaccines. He was 64 years old.

Daystar is the second-largest Christian TV network in the world, according to CBN News, a competitor, reaching 2 billion people worldwide. Its brand is a fluid, modern, charismatic faith, more about general good vs. evil, miraculous healings and religious freedom than any specific denominational theology.

During the pandemic, Lamb and his network went in big with anti-vaccine conspiracy claims, hosting daily interviews with skeptics who talked about alleged dangerous, hidden forces pushing vaccines and stealing Christians’ freedoms. One section of a Daystar webpage titled “Vaccines: The Unauthorized Truth” begins: “What if the most dangerous thing your child could face in life is the very thing you’re told by your doctor is safe?”

The network is highly unlikely to suddenly change its position. But perhaps more than a few viewers will. To the extent that some viewers’ minds get changed? We are grateful for that.
