Apologies. I stand corrected. I will make sure to include 20,001 from now own but I am afraid that even that figure will soon be outdated and in need of prompt correction.
Pastor Billy Bob's vision will make him a true success among his flock, no doubt.
When bereft of anything more of substance to convey, ... many turn to ridicule.
Something to remember is that Jesus was ridiculed too.
Truly the love of Christ shines through.John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Okay, I'll admit I was holding Pastor Billy Bob up to ridicule, but I'll at least say this for the Pastor: mistaken though he may be, intolerant and bigoted though he may be, he at least believes truth is important. That being the case, he is far closer to Jesus than all those, "Believe in Jesus and everything is fine," indifferentists we have floating around here. You know, the ones who say that belief in some "essential" doctrines is all that matters, and never mind anything else. Nobody who cares about truth will have any use for such theology.
