    "what are you like the gestapo, your role is interjecting the doctrinal hard line at key moments where people are showing vulnerability." - This hits so hard they just admit it.

    I’m glad that Megan and her sister have left that “church”. And I think Louis helped Megan in realising that there’s more to life than preaching hate and not everyone is a hell-bound sinner.

      ​@John Gilmore Bravery and morality aren't necessarily connected. An example might be a shy person suffering stage fright acting/singing on stage.
      As for it being good, that would require an entire debate regarding objective morality. It's certainly good from the perspective of those who find the family to be fanatical though, regardless of the reasons for the act.
      You'd thank a paramedic for saving your life, despite the fact that they're paid (not acting selflessly) for doing so. (At least I imagine you would)
      (Ironically, I feel I should thank you for selflessly asking a thought provoking question when I'm having a difficult time sleeping)

      I'm so glad. There is something mentally wrong with the Shirley woman and the rest of them and the pastor. They're cracked in the head. It's horrible that they quote the Bible like it. Whatever happened to only God is my judge???? And they believe they're sinless judging people. They never ever quote that Bible quote I noticed. It's so damaging to Christians who have evolved like the Bible evolves and are more of the "good Samaritan" ilk of the Bible.

She and her posse tell people that they are going to hell every single day of their lives and suddenly a bunch of random young Dutch filmmakers come along and now they all of a sudden care that these people they just met are going to hell.Gimme a break .She totally wanted him.Hypocrite.

      Not hypocrisy. She was clearly in conflict here. You have to understand that she has been taught this all of her life. Her humanity was breaking through and she and her sister left not too much longer after this.
      She couldn't say anything to jeopardize her well being while she was there. You see they had watchers around them at all times.

      @John Gilmore "Everyone talks about how brave and good the defectors are has the thought occurred that they defected for their own personal benefit, not a moralistic stance.
      "
      Apparenlty you're really hung up on the fact that brave, good and moral don't mean what you want them to mean.
      It's good a mother can feed her child. It's an act of bravery when a police officer takes on a criminal.
      Selfishness/selflessness in and of itself doesn't make one moral or immoral.
      Homosexuals are thrown from rooftops in some parts of the world. Those doing the throwing would consider themselves to be commiting a selfless act. From my perspective (and those who think about morality as I do) killing anyone is immoral.

    This way of thinking was never intellectually untenable, as Louis artfully demonstrates (without alienating them). If this kid was a vessel for destruction, and one should rejoice in God's judgments, why be sad? And if everything was pre-ordained, why are you blaming his parents?
