Watch Grown Christian Men Treated Like Children As They Sing “I’m in the Lord’s Army”

I’ve often heard the critique of religion that it makes adults resort to child-like thinking… but I’ve also been to churches where adults are treated like children. The pastor tells adults to fill in the blanks in their programs with certain words, there’s a lot of call and answer like you’d see in a first-grade classroom, the congregation is asked things like “Are we a generous church?”

It’s just a weird form of infantilizing people.

And it doesn’t get any stranger than this:

These are college students at West Coast Baptist College. The dean of students is leading them in singing a popular fundy children’s song. With motions.

Those are adults. Human adults. Singing this song.

That is all.
