Don't like it, find another church. They're a dime a dozen, and they're all fucking ridiculous.

Seriously, I'm not even in one of the most religious parts of the US, and there's still a church on practically every street corner.

The gum thing is honestly one of the more reasonable things he said

He also said not to drink water, and that only Pentecostal churches let people drink water in church lol

Gum is at least understandable, if not because its somehow for goats. It could be distracting and bothersome to the folks sitting around the gum chewer, so I think asking folks not to chew it is reasonable... The rest is sillier though, it's worth looking at the article cause its kinda funny

Something something speck of dust something something plank in your own eye. I don't remember or care enough to look it up.

Dude doesn't believe what he's preaching.

Do any of these “famous” preachers?

I don’t know who this guy is but I remember that Kenneth Copeland guy looked and behaved more like the antichrist than a devout Christian with all his scamming people out of donations for his third private jet thing.

And it’s nothing new either. Genesis already made a song about it in the 80s I think.

Is that the one about how he'll be "watching you" because Jesus is always watching?

My bible said "first cast out the beam from thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote from thy brother's eye" but everyone has their own favorite

Don't make yourself look like a goat. It will tempt him.
