This young pastor was performing a most sacred act, that which even Jesus did to please his father, baptism.
For you to invoke the trite Darwin nominee phrase is beyond the pale.
God will not be mocked. I, for your sake, hope that you will reflect upon your post.
You are absolutely right; he was performing a sacred right...
...not giving a performance.
Lose the microphone, and speak up; either the crowd will, in their solemn silence, hear; if not, then they also mistake it for a social event.
What is next, spot lights? Stage lighting?
No, God does not appreciate being mocked.
This young pastor grabbed an electric implement (microphone) while standing in water. That is stupid, and makes him a nominee. Deal with it.
