I think Frailty (already mentioned) really is the best example of this

It could be worse. As annoying as Jesus freaks are, they're not often found sawing off people's heads on video tape or blowing themselves up in marketplaces.

But anyway this is a good question. You have religious fanatics/killers in shows like Battlestar galactica and 24, why not in horror movies?

No, in real life you have Jesus freaks blowing up abortion clinics and killing mothers who have abortions.

Good point Mordrid, Religion is stupid, pointless and the cause of the war in Iraq. I Especially hate Catholicism, because they try to scare you into believing. What a sham. :rolleyes:

Or gay people...or interrace couples...or people who just happen to be going to Planned Parenthood for prenatal care or checkups...

I don't think this is all Christians, however. It's been my privilege to know many faithful Christians that are as shocked and repulsed by the actions of extremists as anyone else is. Unfortunately, the extremists have really gained a foothold and seem to be gaining ground.

Want an example of extremists? Look up anything to do with Fred and Shirley Phelps.


OH! For movies, Servants of Twilight.

I've read about that crazy bastard. He's a fucking quack, and so is his daughter.

Yeah, they are pretty active in your area, too Illdojo. They are based in Kansas. Scary bastards! If you ever listen to Adam Carolla and Danny Bonaduce's syndicated radio show, they have her call in and have a field day screwing with her.

No, they are on regular, syndicated radio. Funny as hell most days.

They are the ones that picket gay funerals (their claim to fame). They also do a whole lot of other screwed up stuff.
