teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

"Mental illness is not funny," and neither is society.
I don’t know that this particular pastor is mentally ill, but he’s definitely taking advantage of people who likely are.
In fact, he seems pretty savvy. For the relatively small investment of a DreamHouse and a baseball bat (I’m assuming he already had the Bibles), this little stunt is sure to improve the collection plate take.
