This is a Glimpse at American Evangelical Hell
By Hemant Mehta, November 6, 2018

This frightening snapshot of evangelical Christianity — courtesy of several creepy-as-hell clips from TV shows, sermons, and weird after-school-special-like plays — ought to be huge incentive for all of you to vote for the most liberal candidates on the ballot today.

How the hell did our country ever come to believe these were among the finest arbiters of morality…?

What’s scary is that these aren’t just cringe-worthy videos from the 1980s. Some of them are recent. The quality is better, but the message is no less awful. It’s just fear-mongering in the name of Jesus.

Seems like with the people I know - the more authoritarian the family, the more they see this as the natural order.

I think people can be "spiritual" - but this ain't that. It's some weird abusive power trip - has a feel of creepy sexual abuse in there too.

The Republicans have corrupted religion, just like they’ve corrupted democracy.

Stairway to Heaven, one of my favorite rock tunes. The religious zealot hears “Here’s to my Sweet Satan” in the song.

Though they're now going by Hugo and Jake in their videos, address is still
https://www.youtube.com/user/TheBibleReloaded/

They will watch and comment on things like this - Christian kid shows, documentaries like, "Jesus Camp," the "God's Not Dead," series, etc. It's quite informative (and entertaining). They also do live, extemporaneous readings of Chick Tracts.
