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
The first breach in my Atheism was fully realizing how much they hate Christians, Christianity, and Jesus. If you think something is dumb and illogical, why spend every single second exclusively talking about it? Because "it's the dominant culture?" Yeah, maybe 70 years ago before every institution became converged.
The 2010 surge in atheism was in response to an attempt by evangelicals to take over the education system and make factually untrue claims - namely young earth creationism. This pushback was necessary and largely successful, most of the prominent evangelical wackos became laughing stocks or were exposed as hypocrites or even criminals.
However, they couldn't leave good well enough alone and Dawkins et al set about dismantling and dismissing all community and spiritual benefits of religion. It quickly became apparent that this left them vulnerable to infection - Atheism+ infiltrated and destroyed the entire community because they had no strong beliefs or unified principles that could be used to expel them.
As they say, tradition is the solution to a problem we have forgotten.
I'll bet you think it was right wingers going after games in the early 90s too. Get out of here with that shit.
It was both sides. Everyone is aware of Hillary & Tipper Gore's moves on the Left, and that was predominantly because they wanted to play "family values" nonsense from the Left, while most of that was right-wing moralizing from the televangelist evangelicals.
Those guys didn't just attack video games, they attacked cartoons, they attacked rock music, they attacked metal, they attacked cursing, they attacked shock-jock radio; etc.
This was an evolution from back in the day when they were attacking rock and roll music at it's outset. They attacked betting, drinking, dancing, all sorts of silly shit.
Phil Arms lecturing about Pokemon is basically fucking legendary.
Hell I personally fucking posted HERE about how Six Days In Fallujah was originally killed by Fox News before it re-built itself, and was immediately attack by Leftists, showing just how full circle everything had come.
