When I was a preacher I did a sermon based on that episode. It's such an accurate picture of a teenager finding a social group that happened to be at church. And Hank accurately calls out how shallow that kind of social faith is.
At the end of the episode, Hank pulls out a box of crap from fads Bobby had been into and talked about how he didn't want Bobby's spirituality to end up in that box.
For millions of people, church is basically a club where they meet with their friends, and since the church is still the most racially segregated place in America, that's a problem.
The "Christian Club" mentality is what allowed the rise of the religious right, when churches should be vocal about justice for the the sick, the poor, and the foreigners.
The objective was to try to get religion to appeal to youth. I knew some young 20's guys in a band who were into it circa 1998.
You mean the goal wasn’t to get rock to appeal to Christians? 😲
I believe you mean "the Devil's Music". Getting the kiddos all swinging and gyraten their hips like demons.
