Of course this is the religion that Vice decided to make a documentary about. Formed by Brandon Barthrop, a former drug addict, his faith involves worshipping a God who's chill with you paying respects to him in a drunken glory, which mostly entails snorting imaginary frankincense and drinking from The Bible. It is kinda odd. Barthrop managed to kick his own drug habits but stayed on in the crack house he'd been living in, helping his pals get help too and instead investing in getting high on The Most High. Which is to say, the Christian God. But a version who needs you to act like you're hammered before he'll take you seriously, according to Barthrop's YouTube sermons. We've been taught in the church that if it feels bad it's good, and if it feels good it's bad - but that's the opposite of the truth, says co-founder and preacher John Crowder. Human beings are made for pleasure. Not a bad angle, and it's cool that raucous religious partying gets people off of drugs. Worshipping a Frat Boy God to that end, meanwhile...
