My grandfather Herman Langton was founder and preacher of The Church of Fire and Brimstone and God's Almighty Baptizing Wind.
I think when he was trying to come up with a name for it, he just couldn't make up his mind, so he put all his ideas together and acted like a prophet and nobody said a thing.
When he was a young man, he used his fists on anybody who crossed him, and as far as I can tell, after he got religion, he did the same thing.
