Illuminating and watchdogging the widespread attempts to institutionalize the theocratic rule of the US. Making fun of believers everywhere.

True Believers (TM) like to use film as a sledgehammer. When i was about 15 and being indoctrinated by the catholic church, they took a whole group of us from our sunday school class and put us in a hall where they showed an almost Goebbels-esque film on the 'evils of abortion' - making sure to tell us that we'd go to hell if we ever considered terminating a pregnancy. I had been edging towards leaving the church for a while - this just proved the tipping point. By the way, I'm new here, so hi. That’s some scary stuff, but not at all surprising.

I remember Rapture stiff like that at summer church camp when I was a kid. Thankfully it was only 30 minutes from home and only lasted for a few days at a time. That siad, still creepy stuff. I'm glad I never drank the kool-aid. Great post, Eve. I remember Rapture stiff like that at summer church camp when I was a kid.

Ever notice how this pastor's and missionaries' kids are always so nonchalant about religion? The leaders of the youth group I was in when I was a teenager used to use the scare tactics "If you died tonight, would you go to heaven?" Then they would go on to tell how those who reject Jeebus will suffer in the eternal flames of hell...and there will be gnashing of teeth and all the things that make great sci-fi. The only thing I liked about the youth group was that I got to ride around in cars and act like a fool. Then we would all end up at a host parent's house sweetly telling our testimonies for how much we love Jeebus. After that, the some of the girls and guys would sneak off to make out in cars and for the rest of us it was party time. A couple of the kids actually brought flasks of Jim Beam! I am NOT making this up. This was a Baptist church we went to for a couple of years while my mother was trying to "find herself." We were originally German Lutherans. Great post, Eve.
