13 hilarious takedowns of the televangelist who claims God can’t hear prayers through a mask
You’d think being charged with mail fraud and conspiring to defraud the public – not to mention having an affair with the church secretary – might just end the career of a televangelist, but Jim Bakker lived to grift another day.
If that didn’t finish him off, it’s highly unlikely that the faithful will desert him for *checks notes* suggesting that God can’t do something regularly accomplished by your average shop assistant.
“How can you go to church and pray when you’re wearing a mask? Do you think God can hear your prayers through a mask?”

Of course, much piss was taken – of Bakker, not God.

Well, it’s true, God has been a little hard of hearing on occasion.

One way to know you're not praying to God is he can't hear through a mask. The cashier at CVS can hear me through my mask. https://t.co/2QWOTwBJsI

I guess omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent don't mean what I thought they meant.

What's Jim Bakker's latest scam, a microphone so God can hear you through your mask? Only $599 plus shipping, can pay in 5 easy payments? Who prays out loud, anyway? I thought God could hear the prayers from your heart.

God can hear you from inside a whale but a surgical mask has an incredible muffling effect https://t.co/qGh3VnqDha

Jim Bakker: My omnipotent God is the almighty creator of heaven and earth.
Also Jim Bakker: My God can be stopped by a piece of cotton and two nylon strings. https://t.co/QHqDrIqQBG

Underreported: Jim Bakker actually tried praying with the mask on and the Voice in his head barked, "Speak up, you stupid bastard!".

Apparently a virus can get through a thin layer of fabric but the omnipotent Creator of all things can't? I'm confused. https://t.co/aVUKPYEGFU

In conclusion –
I can't imagine believing in a higher power that lacks the perception of Alexa. https://t.co/532s8FTZYT
