Corinth, MS -- Getting people to believe you're God can be like pulling teeth -- and it's even worse when all your teeth have been pulled.

That's the cross that a self-proclaimed messiah in Corinth, Mississippi, has had to bear for the last 9 months.

"Mississippi Messiah" Bill Godwin admits the jaw-dropping dental surgery was painful and regrets no longer being able to eat corn on the cobb.

However, he keeps positive by reminding himself that having his rotten teeth pulled wasn't as bad as the 100 electro-shock treatments he received 30 decades ago for bi-polar disorder.

Godwin's gumminess hasn't affected his preaching ability, but it is putting a crimp in his love life.

He estimates that before he had his teeth pulled, he had sex with more than 1000 men and women but, now admits, he doesn't know many men or women "....who want to date someone without teeth."
