Trying to watch LET US PREY

This show needs the world's biggest trigger warning. I thought it would be difficult to watch but I had no idea watching it would make me want to vomit.

They sure are different!

The documentary is interesting. I minored in Religion so religious stuff is something I think about and I sorta keep an eye out for what the Fundamentalists are doing. I'm still trying to figure out why cults form and why they so often end up with sexual abuse of children. Does having power over people corrupt? I think so.

I majored in lit, so I took a few religion and mythology courses. Like you, I've had an interest in religions most of my life. I thought that looking at the history and the evolution of religious faith would help me figure it out. Over the years I mostly I thought about community, identity, and safety. The person who has power over those three things also has the means to intimidate, infect, and corrupt. I don't think it's confined to religions.

Have you drawn any conclusions in general?
