Behind me two women talk about their "awesome" pastor. In front of me another woman reads with the Life Application Bible and a Josh McDowell apologetics text called "A Ready Defense" stacked next to her. The parking lot is full of ichthyomobiles.

The groupthink is dreary. I feel like the last one in Orange County who's not an evangelical Protestant Konservative Kristian Klone.

I had a girlfriend in highschool whose parents gave her Josh McDowell pamphlets to read. I think we even watched a video of his about pre-marital sex.

I once attended a week of Christian mindcontrol with her in Tulsa (moral support, heh) taught by Bill Gothard (a name which we insisted on splitting into two words). Her mother sprained her ankle the first day and we had to attend the rest of the seminar alone. We started laughing during one of the lessons on reprobation and someone passed us a note that said, "GOD IS GOING TO ZAP YOU!!!!"
