If my pastor stepped up to the pulpit looking like that, I’d be darting out the door in a heartbeat. I’ve done it before; I’d do it again.
And when my dad preached a sermon, Easter or otherwise, it usually was in a suit from thrift shop. (And he always looked good - had the best ties.)
These guys should have flashing neon signs on their foreheads, “CHARLATAN!”
I agree. A pink holey sweater is distracting and that diminishes the message but given that his message is that of a conman as you state that might have some value there but yes I’d be right behind you exiting. :)
