Wow, this guy is amazingly stupid.
Youth Pastor Kevin! Hear Here! This series is really well done. How it flawlessly integrates the reality into the satire. What stuck me on this one was that the Church was going to put up $200 and each missionary $800. One of those things I, and I suppose most people out of that tribe, do not think about much. Much like cults taking all their followers money. If you only take A LOT it’s not so bad. After all, Jesus loved money more than anything. He was a Republican and in the NRA.
On a more serious note, Hispanics both here and there are moving from Catholicism to this holy roller bullcrap. It is the hope of the GOP to get their vote back. It is why they are compromising on immigration.
One of the most surprising things I learned in my travels was finding that Guatemala wasn’t Catholic at all, it was full bore street preaching evangelical Southern Baptist. NOT EXPECTED. Real hard to find a beer in Guatemala and about impossible to find a drink. But on the good side a quetzal was the same as a dollar so one could forgo that constant math battle. And the standard meal was pot roast, potatoes and carrots. And I love those shirts!
SIDENOTE: On the bus ride from the Mexican border to Huehuenobeertango, I had a litre of Cuervo and became the best friend of about 50 people of that long bus ride. The bus broke an axle and we got stuck for a few hours right next to one of those rope bridges over a 1000 foot ravine. I walked out on it little ways and many of my new friends yelled for me to come back! I had the tequila after all. Seems those rope bridges are only for Indians to chance. Though I did not see a pile of bleached skeletons when I looked over the edge.
