A technology wholly unheard of when Christ walked the Earth, Pastor Naranjo was (in a manner of speaking) hearing a voice of God tell him to get his fool ass out of the way of a coming hurricane. Moved by superstition, however, he ignored the message sent from Above and chose to place his faith in puny human frailty.

What a schmuck.

And to think, he bade his family to partake of his madness as well.
