About this project
By the time it reaches its conclusion Patriarchs and Penises has been, as blogger Greta Christina puts it, "a unique combination of hilarious, chilling, and freakishly inspiring─ absolutely not to be missed."
"Who is this Brother Sam?," you ask. He has the stage presence of William Jennings Bryan, the intellectual honesty of Robert Green Ingersoll, the wit of George Carlin, the gripes of a pensioner, the salt of a sailor, and the energy of a teenager. (The show) is essentially comedy, satire and performance art all rolled together."
While this performance is on tape, this does not mean it is ready for widespread distribution. The money raised on Kick Starter will be used for professional editing and mastering, duplication and packaging.

Has not connected their Facebook account.
Sam Singleton Atheist Evangelist is the fictional creation of Roger Scott Jackson. “Brother Sam” appears onstage in solo performances of his humorous plays, as well as in books, audio recordings, and videos.
Sam Singleton’s childhood as an evangelist is chronicled in IF THE OCEAN WAS WHISKEY AND GOD WAS A DUCK, in which, as a nine year old boy in a family of holy roller preachers, he has already begun to question their beliefs and behavior. Young Sam also has quite a few questions for God himself.
PATRIARCHS AND PENISES examines the role of Christianity in America, how it governs the lives of believers and impacts the lives of non-believers. In the second of the play’s two acts, Brother Sam leads a Bible Class focusing on the use of the penis throughout the Scriptures, thus the title.
Sam Singleton Atheist Evangelist has toured the country performing these two comedic works more than a hundred times in dozens of cities in the past three years, earning rave reviews from leaders in the secular community and winning fans among freethinking and open minded theater-goers in general.
