Sounds of Fundamentalism: Honorary Doctorate Better Than an Earned Doctorate, Says Jesse Duplantis

The Sounds of Fundamentalism is a series that I would like readers to help me with. If you know of a video clip that shows the crazy, cantankerous, or contradictory side of Evangelical Christianity, please send me an email with the name or link to the video. Please do not leave suggestions in the comment section.  Let’s have some fun!

According to Evangelical con artist Jesse Duplantis, receving an honory doctorate is better than putting in the hard work necessary to earn a doctorate from an accredited institution. Duplantis, ever a liar for Jesus, said all he has to do is think something and God gives it to him. And that’s exactly what happened. Duplaintis had a thought about how nice it would be to have a doctorate from Oral Roberts University, and sure enough Oral, who said he saw an 800 foot Jesus, granted him an honorary doctorate in 2007.

Listen as Duplantis ‘splains why his doctorate from Oral Roberts is superior to the doctor you spent 7-10 years of your life earning.
