Post by: TriniCana on November 14, 2008, 06:28:04 PM

I was looking at it via CNN last night, but lawd after viewing the bloated bodies, CONSTANLY, I switched the station. But now I regret not staying on. I believe tonight CNN will be airing it again.

Of course YouTube had to give me something.

Everytime I study the accounts of Jonestown, I think "how the hell?..." but Religious belief is a hell of a thing. You get some people who need to believe, provide them with what they need and then keep them in line with fear. next thing you know, you're fighting a war, or torturing unbelievers, or committing mass suicide.

File this in the "how the hell?" department:
