@GottaLaff @atrupar is there a betting pool for the debate that covers:

  3. if he does, how far into things before sharks are mentioned?

“The pastor of a megachurch has resigned after a woman said he had sexually abused her on multiple occasions in the 1980s, beginning when she was 12.

Gateway Church’s board of elders said they’d accepted the resignation of Robert Morris, the church’s senior pastor and founder.”
