That Puts the Nails in the Coffin

Of anyone confusing Meeks with a liberal.

“YOU HAVE DIED AND GONE STRAIGHT TO HELL!” a tall man wearing a long, black, hooded cloak bellowed over a bullhorn Sunday night as the first busload of about 30 teens and a handful of parents were herded through dark corridors lined in black plastic.

The group moved from room to room, witnessing scenes depicting what the church says are the consequences of “bad decisions involving violence, sex and drugs.”

In one scene, a girl was lying on a gurney where a masked man in surgical scrubs pretended to perform an abortion. A toilet was sitting nearby apparently to collect the aborted fetus.

‘I thought it was very scary’
A fenced-in cell housed a few denizens of “hell,” including a pedophile trolling the Internet for a young victim, a meditating Buddhist, and two mincing young men wearing body glitter who were supposed to be homosexuals.
“The jail scene were people who had recently come to hell and they were trying to explain why they didn’t need to be there,” said the Rev. Willie Comer, Salem’s youth pastor, who also plays the role of Satan. This is the third time the church has put on the “Nights of Terror,” which began Sunday and ends today at 10 p.m.

Comer knows some of the parts of Salem’s “hell” will be controversial but says he and Salem’s senior pastor, the Rev. James Meeks, who could not be reached for comment, are confident they can back up their vision of hell with Scripture.

Ummmm…I can think of better ways of spreading the Gospel of Jesus, but I guess this is what one means when they say the are going all Old Testament on someone.
