[ihavenobias]

Via The Huffington Post:

"The Glad Tidings Assembly of God church in Middletown, Pa., has sparked outrage after a teaching exercise traumatized its youth group and left some with physical bruises, WHTM TV reports. A shaken 14-year-old told the station two men came into the room with guns, pulled pillow cases over some of their heads, and pushed them into a van...".

Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur, and Rick Strom break it down on The Young Turks.

1. These type of churches WANT to be "Opressed" because in there sick minds THEY are not truly

showing their love for GOD unless they are suffering. These people seem to almost orgasm as they talk about how "Christians" in other countries are oppressed.

Not that I'm justifying people being oppressed but the way these "chrisitans" talk about it it is like THEY want it to happen to them.


What this "Church did to the children was horrible AND the Off duty cop should lose his job as well as being arrested. The Pastors and cop and all involved should be charged with Kidnapping. If it had been my child I would have also sued.

4. If it were any kid..

I'd do everything in my power to destroy AOG.Still I despise them and the god they cling to.

2. Personally my theory on this mock kidnapping is

that it was intended as an object lesson to the youth group of what they can expect if Obama is re-elected.

5. Wow

So many of the craziest stories I hear about things that go on in churches
are from AoG churches. I have met and read consistently from people about how
wacky and abusive they are. The other funny thing is that I went to one when I
was a teenager, and nothing I keep hearing about applied there.
I must have got damn lucky.

6. Cenk has that concern look down pat!

MSNBC is going to have regrets when he boots that insincere looking Diane Sawyer off the air.
