So... if you are a nitwitted fundamentalist, I guess you'll like it

Holy cow. No wonder Netflix guessed I would hate it.

1 - Terrible acting - except for the pastor. His acting was probably the best of the group.

2 - Fundamentalist Christianity which I find extremely annoying and... um... well... nitwitted.

3 - I like dancing, but I wish they had cast a real dancer. That would have been nice.

4 - Doctors DO NOT DATE family members of their patients. That is an ethical violation and could get that doctor in hot water. It's even part of the training in the legal and ethical subjects. And our licensing exams have legal and ethical questions.

I feel like I've been in a really cheesy Bible-thumping hellfire and brimstone church and sat through one of their simple-minded dramas designed to scare people. Very off-putting.

If you're a fundamentalist Christian who really believes most people who ever lived are going to hell and who believes in those simple-minded scare tactics of stories about the devil, etc., you'll like it. I thought it was really stupid. Couldn't watch the whole thing even though I was doing mindless file hygiene on my computer. I would rather watch the grass growing.

You know what they say... no one with missing teeth wears an Armani suit.

How dismal it is to see present day Americans yearning for the very orthodoxy that their country was founded to escape.

My people are going to learn the principles of democracy the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go. Let them worship as they will, every man can follow his own conscience provided it does not interfere with sane reason or bid him act against the liberty of his fellow men.

If I were a dictator, religion and state would be separate. I swear by my religion. I will die for it. But it is my personal affair. The state has nothing to do with it. The state would look after your secular welfare, health, communications, foreign relations, currency and so on, but not your or my religion. That is everybody's personal concern!

Those who would renegotiate the boundaries between church and state must therefore answer a difficult question: why would we trade a system that has served us so well for one that has served others so poorly?

Those who use religion for their own benefit are detestable. We are against such a situation and will not allow it. Those who use religion in such a manner have fooled our people; it is against just such people that we have fought and will continue to fight.

The person with a secular mentality feels himself to be the center of the universe. Yet he is likely to suffer from a sense of meaninglessness and insignificance because he knows he?s but one human among five billion others - all feeling themselves to be the center of things - scratching out an existence on the surface of a medium-sized planet circling a small star among countless stars in a galaxy lost among countless galaxies. The person with the sacred mentality, on the other hand, does not feel herself to be the center of the universe. She considers the Center to be elsewhere and other. Yet she is unlikely to feel lost or insignificant precisely because she draws her significance and meaning from her relationship, her connection, with that center, that Other.
