A California pastor made headlines after he sparked a panic during a showing of the latest “Avengers” movie. 28-year-old Michael Webber waited until the credits began to roll and then promptly stood up — while the lights were still off — and began preaching the Gospel. It was meant to be an uplifting sermon about salvation, but it did not produce the desired effect.

According to witnesses, at one point Webber asked the crowd: “If you were to die tonight, would your passage to heaven be guaranteed?”

Moviegoers, convinced that a gunman had entered the theater, began to run for their lives. Many sustained injuries during the escape. One woman fell 20 feet to the floor after jumping over a railing, and had to be taken to the hospital.

Police arrived and quickly placed Webber into custody. He has since apologized, claiming he didn’t mean any harm. But critics are pushing for criminal charges, arguing his actions were equivalent to yelling “fire” in a crowded theater, only with "Jesus".
