Shuttlesworth has denigrated “loser” pastors who canceled services and suggested the use of hand sanitizer betrayed a lack of manliness. “If you’re putting out pamphlets and telling everybody to use Purell before they come into the sanctuary … you should just turn in your ministry credentials and burn your church down,” he said. “You’re a loser. Bunch of pansies. No balls. Got neutered somewhere along the line and don’t even realize it.” Shuttlesworth then announced his own plans to host a Woodstock-like “Easter blowout service.”
