This entry is part 7 of 8 in the series Detached From Reality*SIGH* Peter Lumpkins again shows the entire world that when faced with overwhelming and unassailable evidence it’s best to just ignore it and attack blindly. Lying isn’t a bad option either! As a believer I look at such sick, sadistic, and childish behavior and wonder “What could he be doing for the Kingdom instead of this?” I can only imagine what non-believers think. What’s really sad is that this guy is from Georgia. I am ashamed to be from the same state. Of course, he’s from Carrollton so tha...
