@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone's card from yesterday reminded me of this movie I watched a while ago. Burning Hell is one of those so bad it's good movies where a pentacostal preacher is telling you how bad hell is:

Be warned if you watch this you'll never be able to get the way he says 'hell' out of your head.
I watched this and the documentary Jesus Camp around the same time and I figured something out about these religions, especially in the States; they spend all this time telling you how bad hell is and to not be bad, but never tell you what a good person does. This movie is an entire hour about how bad hell is, with no explainer on how to be a good person or how to get into heaven. Imagine living your entire life only being told what not to do with no direction on what you should do. I think things over there start to make sense by seeing this as the mentality people were brought up with and how they impose their will on others.
Thanks I will watch it this weekend.
