He's Seriously Taking a Stand. And Marking His Territory. In Germany.

If you haven't seen this yet (HT: Zach) you need to take a few moments, breathe deeply, and allow this bold pastor to challenge you and provoke you with The Bible.

It's rare to witness someone exegeting scripture with utter precision, while simultaneously channeling the spirit of Michael Scott.

So I take it this is a new sign of the apocalypse? Actually, if this video is real, and that pastor really devoted a chunk of his sermon to urination then yes, the end *is* nigh.

Unbelievable.

I want those four minutes and 36 seconds of my life back, please.

Brant, I have come to the conclusion that you are a freaky magnet. No way could you just stumble across so many funny, ridiculous things. It must be you are a magnet for freaky, funny things and they come flying into your world so that you can share them with the rest of us.

Definitely made me laugh this morning! I'm glad I was drinking anything at the time as it surely would have come out of my nose...

Finally I feel affirmed as a man. Only had I heard this sermon many years ago I would have known I was a man...

[Justin]

I just got saved.

[illiahI]

Oh my...

so men are the ones who stand, I guess women are the ones who clean up....

[Sarah]

So THAT's what's wrong with Germany! (Feel so sorry for his German wife!)

Totally surreal, Brant. Totally. After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I nearly died laughing! I don't know what inspired this guy's meandering tirade, but I do know definitely wasn't the Holy Spirit. Sounds like a Pharisee type Jesus would have told to go take a *beep*.

What makes this video even more surreal to me is that I got into a...ahem...*beeping* match with a guy on another website two days ago over whether the toilet seat should be left up or down. Trust me, this freaky legalist would have been M's cuppa joe.

Brant, I'm with Tracy on this one. You ARE a freaky magnet! If I ever manage to get down to your part of Florida, I just gotta look you up. Don't worry, I don't want anything other than to see for myself that you're real flesh and blood and not a visual hallucination.

...wow...i'm just blown away...

does that mean that a guy who can sign his name on the wall is a man's man???

[Wolfgang Amadeus M.]

Ach well.. I have no clue.. I have silent pixs..and no sound- even tho- its turned all the way up! Ha!

I always thought- that signing ones name in the snow was enough-when it came to defining if one was a Mensch. You just didn't want to do it on the side of a Mountain in Salzburg with the wind blowing...

LOLled at Justin's comment.

I have one of my own to add:

Uh, what?

Quotable Quote:

"Men piss against the wall, women don't"

..all I can say is

..thanks for sharing :)

[Doug Hannah]

OK, how do I put this?

Alright, here goes.

I sent this to you two weeks ago. I should be the one getting the "HT". Not "Zach".

This isn't the first time this has happened, Hansen.

[keith]

I think these guys "get it."

[Joel]

I just want to know if he also stands up like a man...and does number 2 (this is a reference to one of Brant's previous posts) He probably shouldn't do that on any wall.

[Doug Hannah]

Oh wait. It was you who shared it with me.

Oops.

So, how bout them Fightin' Illini?

[Deb]

I have been wondering what was wrong with America. Now I know! I can now rest easy knowing someone is leading the movement to get men to pee standing up again.

[Kellie]

OK, so every time this guy adjusted the waist band of his trousers, I was afraid for the fate of that pristine white wall ...

When my brother (who has always been intrigued by, uh ... language...) was a 10 year old kid, he owned the Jim Croce album with "Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown", just so he could loudly sing along to "... baddest man in the whole DAMN town..."

Odd that this Michael Scott-as-Preacher Guy immediately reminded me of a bad little boy...

[M.E.]

The frightening thing here, folks, is that I know in my gut this ranting preacher guy is for real. I have seen and heard his like with my own eyes and ears, ranting like a complete madman before a congregation on an Easter morning about how he had been ordained by Christ and not man (?????)and about how terrible it was that the resurrection scene had been omitted in the movie series "Jesus of Nazareth". Had I not been in complete shock from never having seen such a bizarre performance in the pulpit before in my entire life, I would have walked out in the middle of the guy's rants. Needless to say, my husband and I never darked the doorway of that church building again.

[Cheryl]

Gack.

Reminds me of the veggie tale lyrics- "You've got to stand (stand up stand up) for what you believe in, believe in..."

Makes me wonder about Germany, though- what is the possible reason other than cleanliness/hygiene to prohibit that? Hmmm...off to google...can't find anything other than discussions about this guy...

[Brady]

That is one of the best Gearge W. Bush mannerism impressions I've ever seen.

I hate to admit it, but I often pee sitting down. Usually it's in the wee-wee hours of the morning, there's no light, and I don't want to miss and hit the carpet, or risk having my wife later fall into an open toilet bowl. So, I sit down. Until now, I had no idea what the implications of that were; I thought I was just peeing, and that one's style of peeing didn't mean squat.

[Deemus]

Does anyone which home church this guy pastors? I would like to attend.

[Becky]

As longs as it reaches one person with the gospel...

[amy]

My favorite part about this is that he seems to have filmed himself preaching in a hallway.

This was posted on the backporch site a couple weeks back - and the pastor has a "standing" offer to come preach to us anytime.

[Becky]

Is it just me, or does he look a lot like Jack Shephard?

[Texas in Africa]

I guess he knows that he knows that he knows...
