Parodying Christians ‘is a hoot’
Celebrities to stage HELL HOUSE for grins
The Rocky Mountain News is reporting that the Center of Inquiry West is going to use a show and ill gotten script to llampoon the Christians’ beliefs about Hell.
It features a large cast of B list celebrities, including comedians Bill Maher as Satan and Andy Richter as Jesus, plus Julia Sweeney, Richard Belzer and more.
From the article:
“It will be a parody of itself,” she said in an interview Monday. “It will be very funny. We’re having a hoot.”
From the article:
This year, Rowe contacted Roberts to buy a kit for her youth group. (The production company is named “The Youth Group.”) Keenan has sold more than 550 kits since the first Hell House began in 1994, drawing thousands of people annually to the Arvada church where he was youth minister. His kit features more than 200 pages of stagecraft and script showing how to mount smoke-filled vignettes depicting Satan luring teenagers to hell by tempting them with sinful behaviors.
“Maggie Rowe misrepresented herself to me,” said Roberts, now pastor of Destiny Church in Broomfield. “She described what sounded like a ministry to children.”
Here are just some results from a Hell House in New Iberia, La:
As a result of the walk-through drama, some 1,500 people made first-time commitments to Christ, and six couples canceled scheduled abortions, reports John Neel, youth pastor at First Assemby of God in New Iberia.

Six couples canceled scheduled abortions. If we’re all supposed to be so ‘tolerant’ and ‘non discriminating’, why is the Christian faith allowed to be ridiculed like this?
Wake up people. I wish I could say there won’t be more of this.
But until God’s people wake up, I don’t think it’s going to stop anytime soon.
