An open letter to Christian Covid conspiracy theorists

I write this to push back against Christians who are using the current global pandemic to push conspiracies on social media. Do you stop to think about what you are doing?

If you don't accept the highly plausible, but as yet not conclusively proven, belief that the virus originated in a Chinese virology lab, and want to let the corrupt and oppressive Chinese government, one of the world's worst persecutors of Christians, by the way, off the hook.

If you want to push the conspiracy narrative, and if there really are shadowy figures orchestrating these events, I'm not going to lose sleep over arrogant people who think they can defy God and His purposes for the world.

If you have no problem with promoting conspiracy theories that are often latently anti-Semitic. This is a cancer on church history that still lingers today. anti-Semitic Christians are coming out of the woodwork on social media recently.

If your understanding of eschatology means think that you should live in constant suspicion, fear, or paranoia, and you don't offer people any hope, and that other Christians who don't see things the same way as you are deceived. How does any of this help you live a fruitful Christian life?
