it’s wild out here in bumfuckastan america. there’ll be a county of <10k people but they have like 3-400 different churches throughout the place, one for each cluster of families (all rundown and incredibly depressing)…and only 1 or 2 people in each church could even tell you what denomination they are.
like…godamn…kind of understand why the catholic church used to just execute people for starting schisms.
I lived in rural western Missouri and that’s exactly how it was. One Walmart, one traffic light, and more flavors of apostolic Christianity than Baskin-Robbins has of ice cream in a town of less than 5k. Tiny churches everywhere.
I liked the variety of films they’d show: “Joseph Smith and the Temple of Doom,” “Mohammed: Satan’s Messenger,” and “Buddha and the Path of Damnation.”
I’d love to remake “Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter” for an Evangelical audience. He’s still defending lesbians but they’re just heavily coded and they live in Florida.
It’s because they’re never made by believers, just people knowing that they can have a tiny budget and a huge price point because parents will pay anything for “Good Wholesome Christian Entertainment” that won’t turn their kids woke.
Except for the God’s Not Dead movies, sadly those are made by geniune Evangelicals, and you can tell because they’re insanely mean spirited and have budgets.

Christian movies rise to a whole new level of badosity.
