So, how far from reality is this radio episode, and how offensive do you think the RR people would find it?

Review here:



A couple become concerned when their young son's religious leanings take on a warped, fanatical bent.

The Plot Spot says Nightfall got complaints about being too scary; I think it might have been this episode. Terrifying. - Dylan Miller

A dark little tale of what can happen when Christianity gains too great a hold on one's life. Do you really want to go to church after hearing this one? I think not! And who exactly was that crazy TV preacher who was able to answer questions from the television? Please, touch that dial!!! - 'Fallen Angel'

The RR screwballs have a way of being offended at just about anything not approved of by Jerry Falwell. Yeah, I know; Falwell's dead and good riddence, but his lunacy yet lives on.

Yeah, it'll offend 'em, but it won't be anything out of the ordinary.
