this was one of them old-timie churches not one of them new age-ee types that tries to make you feel good about yourself and tells you the lord loves you just like you is , blemishes and warts and carbuncles and little hairs sproutin from your ears and picking your nose and scratching your butt and all , but one of them that preaches that the lord hates everything in this world that aint godly because the world is run by the devil hisself , that is , the fellow they call satan , ( its like even though the lord created the world , somehow satan got it over on god and re-possessed it , like god hadnt kept up on the payments or something ) , and its our job as god-fearing chrissians ( never could figure out why we should be afeared of god but thats another matter ) we should do everything in our power to renounce the world and come to the spirit of the lord .
