Do you think it tasted sweet like honey in his mouth but turned bitter in his stomach?

This happened at the Rock Church in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and the insane man is named Kevin Leal. None of this was a skit or satire. This really happened!

Details on the silliness from Protestia:

Kevin Leal is a self-styled 'Prophet' of God who, according to his bio, has 'faithfully served as a prophetic voice to the Body of Christ for over 30 years' and now 'actively partners with apostolic leaders, empowering them to plant and develop churches that create a lasting Kingdom impact.'

When he's not traveling the globe and speaking at conferences and church meetings, he's hawking wares from his website, where he helps people become 'dream detectives' that can give dream interpretation. He also helps folk attain 'prophetic prosperity' by teaching them to using [sic] their prophetic gifts to go 'up in a down market.'

Lots of "quote marks" in the "description" of this "prophet."

The incident started with senior Pastor David Chisholm telling the teen this:

'I saw a vision so clearly. It was insane. I saw you sitting at a table, a dinner table, knife, fork, spoon, and laying in front of you was a Bible. And it was open to the book of Proverbs.

And I've seen you reach down and you took chapter one and you tore it out and you crumpled it up and you put it in your mouth and you chewed it and you swallowed it. And then you went to chapter two. You tore it out of the Bible, you crumpled it up, put it in your mouth and swallowed it.

And I'm giving you a command. Every day for the next several years in your development, you eat at least one chapter of the book of Proverbs, the book of Ecclesiastes, and the book of Psalms in at least 10 different translations.

Find 10 different versions and eat a chapter a day because you're going to have to have the wisdom of God to do this call that God's got on your life.'

The visiting "prophet" then stepped up and demanded a Bible and told the teen to put this into practice right there and then. The kid, not knowing that he was part of the grift, did as he was told.

On the bright side, the lad will get a ton of fiber (and some chemicals) in his diet.

On the not-so-bright side, he'll now be remembered as the kid who ate a Bible!
