Oh, and did I mention that they pretend to drink that prophet's blood in Church on Sundays (in this case it's definitely pretend, even to them, as St John's is Anglican)? Now that's really something to scare the kids with.

The vicar is the scary one.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Ever wonder what would happen if the leader of the most powerful nation on earth had warped, illogical thinking like this........oh

America at the moment fits the description, I think?

Someone - I think it was comedian Dick Gregory - speculated that if the Romans had had 19th century technology (or if the execution of Christ had taken place in more modern times) that Christians would be wearing miniature electric chairs around their necks.

Finally an intelligent priest! Church would profit terribly if it had thinkers like this one.

Not to mention that "eating the body" cannibalism thing.
