Obviously, Mr. Franklin and his followers are not the crispest crackers in the box.

What I find ironic is that he quotes, correctly, the Bible as saying that God said to call no one father but Him, yet he judges people to Hell when the Bible also says, "Judge not lest ye be judged."

We're all sinners, every last one of us, and we've got our own transgessions to concern ourselves with.

As I said in an earlier post, who's going to burn in hell and who's not is something to be left to God's judgment. We lowly humans have no business getting into that.

The line that gets me is:

"What I am trying to do is to let people know there's only one way to heaven through Jesus Christ," said the Rev. Cline Franklin, pastor of Hilltop Baptist Church. "There's no need for help. God sent his son, Jesus Christ. We're all priests if we're saved. I don't need to go to anybody else to pray."

You'd think the boy would try to find another line of work.
