As previously advertised on a blog post from last week, I would like to go over the video for “One of the Worst Sermons Ever.” It is a man preaching in what apparently seems like a small congregation. Almost right off the bat, he says “You’re not going to like this, but you haven’t liked the sermon up ‘till now so why would I try and please you now.” How correct he was. This is about the last 5 minutes of his sermon. The main point he seems to be making is based off of a phrase in the King James Version Bible that shows up 6 times. “He that pisseth against the wall.” When translated to newer editions, the word “male” or “man” is used. Seemingly, this preacher’s argument is what makes a man a man and not a male is that he pees standing up. He states that a lot of leaders in our country, including a lot of pastors and the president himself (back when Bush was president) probably pees sitting down and that the problem with this country is that these leaders need to learn to be men. Not that I am against sermons that make one uncomfortable and challenge a viewpoint, but this one just seems ridiculous, is theology seems a little off and seems to be reading into the text with possibly a wrong interpretation, and his message is in the wrong direction.
I invite you to watch the video and then tell what you think in the comments. I find this sermon quite funny (in a shocking, face-palming kind of way), but controversial and likely easily challengeable.
