Evangelical Christian pastors and digital influencers with ties to former President Jair Bolsonaro have attacked the concert and posted dozens of videos on social media with analysis pointing out purported diabolical behavior and attacks on the Christian faith. They have connected the concert’s licentiousness with unprecedented floods that have devastated cities in Rio Grande do Sul state and killed 147 people.
Baptist Pastor Aloizio Penido, a prominent Christian leader from the city of Juiz de Fora, told Religion News Service that the concert was “an insult to God,” and that the images drew an “association with the worst possible segment in society.” He pointed to a picture of Che Guevara and “other anti-Christian leaders.”
Penido also called out the concert’s “agenda” and an implied “endorsement of LGBT people and striptease.”
A Roman Catholic priest in the city of Novo Hamburgo, one of the most impacted areas in Rio Grande do Sul, released a video earlier this week in which he implied that the floods are a consequence of atheism.
“Could it be that there’s a message from heaven with all those rains and floods? Rio Grande do Sul, according to surveys, is the most atheist state in Brazil, many times carried away by its intellectual and economic pride,” said the Rev. Marco Antônio Leal, adding that “God wants the people from the state to kneel down and believe in Him again.”
Another Christian influencer has pointed out that Rio Grande do Sul is one of the states with the highest number of centers of Umbanda and Candomblé, African Brazilian religions associated by many evangelical Christians with the devil, so it’s paying the price now.
