Yeah. I suppose “only murder the people I tell you to murder” doesn’t have the same punch.

The god guy didn’t let his having told them multiple times to murder entire cities stop him from telling them not to murder in the Ten Commandments.

Going by the old testament Jehovah gave explicit permission to rape people. For many of the cities they wiped out they were allowed to keep any virgin girls as sex slaves.

The Pentecostal church I was at did communion too. Only instead of wine, they used fizzy grape juice. Bitch, Jesus’ blood was not carbonated.

The Ten Commandments also says nothing about not molesting children or raping people. A god who thinks nothing of telling his chosen army to go out and kill whole cities worth of people makes a point of adding in “don’t murder” — but he couldn’t slip in something about that other stuff?

There’s a commandment for obeying your parents, but none for caring for your children.

I grew up in a Southern Missionary Baptist church that left the Southern Baptist Convention for "being too liberal and permissive"—this is about as far as you can get from mainstream Baptists without actual goddamn snake-handling. And I am right there with you, pal. Pentecostals are stone-cold bugfuck nuts.

Yep, that’s pretty much exactly what I’m saying.

I don't want you to take this the wrong way but when ex-Mormons think your beliefs are crazy, then you've got a real problem. I mean, you've read the Book of Mormon and you think the Pentacostals are insane.

He/she should have called the police that day.

Well, I mean, the demons *did* ask nicely.

Well sure, they’d confirm it with holy water and a devil’s trap first.

“At least Catholics don’t speak gibberish” I actually said the same thing to my dad when he criticized me joining the Catholic church when I was 12, haha!

Heh, appropriate.

On an entirely inappropriate tangent, calling Sam and Dean in on the case would have been a terrible idea too. They would just stab the kid in the heart and say there was no other way - after like season 4 they just stopped giving a shit about possessed people, unless it’s a personal acquaintance.

several people

So, the child was starved to get rid of the demons? Which book of the Bible is that from again?

I went to a Pentecostal church with a friend because she kept bugging me to go. The first service was quiet and nice, obviously their “bring a convert” day. I was able to meditate, and they had free pizza at the end. Second service was full of people speaking gibberish and looking like they were having seizures, while…

Aracely must not be that great a prophet if she didn’t see that resurrection wasn’t going to work

Neither of my parents were religious when I was growing up so I was only exposed to church by other family members who would offer to take me with them because they were convinced I was going to burn in hell. My father’s mother was Pentecostal and I remember going to church with her one day and it freaked me the fuck…

I just can’t. This makes me sick.
