Attention heathens: Here’s a helpful instructional video just in case you’re ”left behind”
With Left Behind lifting Nic Cage and the movie going masses to a higher (or shittier…) plane today, it seems like the perfect time to delve into the somewhat weird world of the actual religious people who believe this stuff. Everything Is Terrible has been doing the lord’s work all week with its rapture series (Full disclosure: A.V. Club staffer Katie Rife is part of the EIT crew), but we’re especially partial to a clip the group posted to its Facebook today entitled “Have You Been Left Behind?” A production of the New Hope Village Church, the video’s meant to be watched “only after the disappearance of God’s people from the Earth.” In other words, if you’re watching this video, you’re shit out of God’s luck. The pastor discusses martial law, what’s going to happen to those who have been left behind, and just how you, the viewer, could have been so darn sinful. It’s 17 minutes of fear tactic fun, and it’s below.
