How many people voted for the nutjob in that video in order for him to speak for the church? At least the Pope is elected head of the catholics, Bernard can speak for the upc and be credible, but who does the nutjob in the video represent? A congregation of 500, when there are millions of congregations with opposing views? I don't think this guy has a firm grip on reality, neither do conservatives who think like him.

I think he's doing a good work church-wise but has to compartmentalize and take notice of the boundaries ... confusing the Word with our personal convictions and opinions.
Shock value for shock value's sake has no value.
