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
Genuinely, never watch television.
When you think back at how bad TV is, and you realize the boomers grew up with this every day since birth, AND there were only 3 channels; it's pretty clear how they got so fucked up, and trusted the government so much.
