“I try to give any new podcast a lot least 5 episodes. I figure it takes a few to get me tuned into the frequency it’s tuned to, if that makes sense.
The acting isn’t bad inherently; I feel like they’re going for the old school “War of the Worlds” type thing; before tv radio drama was a great conduit for entertainment. And I like that idea— at least in theory.
The actual acting is just too.. flagrant? I think it’d be easy to improve, and maybe the later episodes improve on it. But if it were just that I’d probably have given it a solid 3.
I’m not a bible thumper. In fact I’m closer to that old lady on Ellen who called in that one time, “Well honey I love Jesus but I drink a little.”
But it’s been done a thousand times: make the Christians the crazies. Or misguided. Or downright evil. And here is where a lot of people will remind me of the real evil done by Christians and how that makes it okay, or their downright comeuppance.
And that’s all well n good.. or not, I don’t really think it is but I’ll understand someone’s opinion on that. But this podcast takes that angle and beats it like a dead horse.
I doubt anyone’s going to read this and avoid this podcast because of it. But I just take a lot of this stuff in and this is my bit of venting about it.
And now I’m done. Jesus loves you. Be ya gay, black or Hispanic, Christian or not. Just wish people would actually pay attention to what He has to say instead of ugly hearted people who claim to speak for Him.”
