They even say that the girl had to die for the sins of the group. Throughout the episode whenever they were accussing one of the group they were sure to show them wearing their crosses.
Sorry for the rant but it's just so noticeable I can't believe I never registered it before
You're on a forum dedicated to rooting out propaganda in media yet believe 2000s era anti-Christian scaremongering, curious.
The Evangelical movement of that decade has been spurned even by a lot of Evangelicals of today. Most of the leaders of that movement were faggots, frauds, and fuckwits who were commercializing faith and pushing total garbage.
They destroyed themselves more than anything, and they earned it.
It's one of the reasons a lot of the political leaders either opposed Trump, or were very hesitant to support him.
I have absolutely zero love for Evangelicals but let's not also claim that the Jon Stewart era 2000s was at all neutral towards Christian Conservatives of any stripe.
I didn't.
?
While there were and are retarded Evangelicals, the idea that the hallowed halls of the public school system were under critical threat by 60 IQ, sisterfucking, Jesus-dinosaur-riding-endorsing, toothless biblethumpers is so out of pocket it's embarassing considering the site we're on. Meanwhile, the vast majority of Christian Conservatism that voiced opposition to things like gay marriage, and were told about slippery slopes, now find themselves in a position where they're actively persecuted while being completely vindicated.
You say this like it's obvious that no normal person denies geology or radioactive decay or astronomy or the existence of genes but I have encountered people in real life, whom I considered intelligent, who denied all of these things when they came in conflict with biblical story of creation (they were homeschooled). If you think this is an absurd view only held by retards, you have not talked to enough people or you have not probed the beliefs of the people you do know.
There was no shortage of like-minded people who would argue in front of the texas schoolboard that the science textbooks should be changed to exclude information about the age of the earth. I watched some of these at the time, they were very boring and cringe on both sides. Megachurches pastors and televangelists had plenty of money pouring in during their sermons about "evilution".
Overblown? Sure. Fictional? No. The "hallowed halls" as you put it are just a government office, and the government is infiltrated and manipulated by highly motivated zealots all the time - hence the situation we're in now with the gender weirdos.
I never said it was completely fictional, I said you fell for the same psyop they've been running for decades. They used identical tactics to paint you and I as incel terrorists because we wanted honest reviewing in our hobby. You cite anecdotes of life in the south and with corrupt Megachurches, not seeing that these two things are largely inconsequential in terms of "Conservative Christianity" in America and are largely tangential (and immaterial) to any threat to state run and funded public schools. State schools, by the way, which are now teaching outright, provable lies about the natural world to the applause of everyone who derided Christians for an "anti-Science" mindset.
Christians may very well be wrong about creation. I'm unsure. I've personally become un-convinced of traditional "scientific" models that you seem certain of. One thing I do know for certain though is that Christians have never lied about how they see the natural world. They might very well be wrong, but they aren't lying.
Now validate my gender, bigot
I mean... I don't deny decay, astronomy or genes, but I am certain that evolution is false. It comes from being able to raise the number '4' to the power of however many bits are in the genome. Corona is apparently 30 000 bits, so 4^30000 is... well, unfathomable.
