The Smart Guys and Me

Semi-daily preaching by a Semi-daily Preacher on a semi-daily basis

Greg Lee as Brother Preacher

I don’t wanna sound all braggy but, facts is facts…I destroyed the Bible Scholars last night with my superior preaching.  They never saw it comin’.

Of course, I ALSO simultaneously got myself dis-fellowshipped from about 9 different denominations, while tickin’ off about a hundred big brained Bible guys and their wives but…these things happen. 

Francis Collins, the human genome/world famous scientist guy was there.  We chatted afterwards for a while and found that we have lots in common.  Apparently, he discovered the human genome a while ago.  I told him that I have also found stuff…usually in the backyard or my closet. I think he was impressed, though he seemed a bit skittish to see me.  He probably thought I was gonna try to baptize him right there on the spot.  Don’t laugh.  I thought about it.  He probably noticed the “Pre-baptize Glaze” I get in my eye right before I dunk somebody.  He’s a scientist, they notice that kind of stuff. «Read the rest of this article»
