Scary, Crazy Lady

Although I don’t watch the show Trading Spouses, the promo for this week’s show caught my eye. It’s one of those rare commercials that make me back up with my TiVo to see what the hell is going on. Marguerite, the spouse du jour, is completely apeshit. She is screaming at the top of her lungs, like a raving lunatic, about gargoyles and God. It is frightening to see… At one point, you can hear a man (whom I assume is her husband) tell her in a calm voice that it is good to have her home. She continues to scream over him at the camera.
This is an excellent example of how religious folk scare me, even more so than the most immoral criminal mind. At least the thief/murderer/looter, who must necessarily ignore the consequences of his actions, maintains a narrow grasp of reality and what it takes to achieve their ill-gotten gains. This woman appears to be completely lost from reality; she uses the name of Christ to compel the camera man from her home!? She seems worse off (in terms of mental health) than a religious woman you may remember who recently drowned her babies. Hopefully they get some help for Marguerite before she has an opportunity to outdo Mommy Yates.
There is a resource available for people who have serious questions about God. I don’t know if it’ll help the PsychoChristians, but the Official God FAQ does a pretty good job of clearing up confusion. It’s a sparse FAQ, but it covers the most important point very succintly.
