I'm sick of seeing his stupid picture everywhere.
Get his picture down! I'm sick of it!
They have this picture of him and he's like...
It looks like he's doing karate!
Who knows what I'm talking about?
Yeah, see, hands are going up.
You think I'm crazy, but other people's hands are going up.
People have this picture of him doing...
He looks like he's like...
It's like, is that Chuck Norris or what?
And they're like, oh, he's such a dynamic creature.
And this is back when people had to pose for pictures.
It wasn't like today where you just snap your cell phone or snap a picture.
No, he's like setting up a photo shoot with a camera with a big light pole,
with a guy putting a thing over his head.
Well, maybe it wasn't that long ago.
But anyway, he'd take a picture and the guy's posing going...
So he's like, I mean, that's really slick.
It's a freak show, man!
That's not freaky.
And not only that, he would do these...
He'd be boxing around like shadow boxing.
And he'd say, come on, devil!
Come on, do a few rounds with Billy!
Come on, fight me! Fight me!
And he would say, he's going to fight the devil.
That's not biblical.
Billy Sunday would famously...
Mr. Prohibition would famously invite the devil to come box with him.
I mean, this guy...
Everybody who looks up to this guy is a hero of the faith.
This guy was a sideshow freak.
He traveled around the nation.
And literally, you don't believe me?
And by the way, he did not preach the gospel of faith alone for salvation.
No, he didn't.
He had ecumenical services.
And look, I'm not an ecumenical preacher.
I'm an independent Baptist!
It'll be a cold day in hell before you see us having a joint service
to invite the Methodists and the Presbyterians and the Lutherans and the Catholics.
It's never going to happen.
We are separated from unbelievers.
We're not going to yoke up and have a joint church service with...
You know, you think I'm going to go to some prayer breakfast
where I'm with some rabbi and some guy who calls himself father
and dresses like his mother and looks like a homosexual?
You think I'm going to go to some prayer breakfast with every denomination and every bible?
And these city-wide preachers of yesteryear,
Billy Sunday would come into town only if every church in the town
would agree to cancel their services and come to his meeting.
That means the Baptist church would cancel.
And they'd all come down and worship together.
And this is what he'd say.
If you want to be saved, all you have to do is come down and shake my hand and you'll be saved.
Look it up.
Read his life story.
His hand was the hand that shook a million hands.
Translation, a million saved.
That's what they say.
Shake my hand.
I don't see that in the bible.
Shake my hand.
He said, pretend I'm Jesus and if you shake my hand, you'll be receiving Jesus.
It doesn't matter if you're Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran.
Just come on down.
The price is right and shake my hand.
