I don’t have a particular problem with people who are religious, but I am an atheist. There is certainly no shortage of decent people who happen to be god-fearing, but this woman takes the cake (literally) on religious insanity. Someone should tell her gluttony and sloth are sins, both of which she clearly identifies with on a regular basis.

“I needed your prayers, they were dark-siders!” What a psychotic bitch, I hope her family is ashamed and stages an intervention, but they are probably as fucking nuts as her.

It’s very old news, I’m afraid. The show in question aired last November and we’ve discussed this several times since then.

Oh, also, I’m a little confused about the allocation of money at the end. Does each family get $50,000.00 to allocate to the other or something?

So, I guess the “swap” in this episode of _Trading Spouses_ was between Fundamentalist Christians and Sith Lords?

The Armor Of God also appears in the Christian NES game Spiritual Warfare. BibleMan (of the show of the same name) also based his armor on the same verses of Ephesians. This leaves me wondering why truth, righteousness, and faith look so shiny while the helmet of Salvation is dark, with a flamejob and positively bitchin’.

Don’t forget the fact that she has an unwed daughter who looks like she can’t be more than 22, with what looks like a 5 year old daughter.

That said, this was good tv 🙂

Time to play, “Can you top this?”

She’s a friend of my sister-in-law’s family. She and her entire family were at my brother’s wedding!

I didn’t talk to her, I was dealing with my own crazy people.

Eh, I grew up surrounded by people like this in the bible-belt. I had more than one friend whose parents would try to command the demons out of them when they had disciplinary problems.

These kind of people pointed me straight down the path to atheism, so at least I have that to thank them for.

By the looks of the video, her family seems a lot more sane than she is. In fact, they seem like a very nice group of people. I feel sorry for them.

Yeah, so in each episode of Trading Spouses, the spouse who is traded gets to allocate the $50,000 to the family he or she is traded into. So crazy God-warrior gets to decide how the “evil” family she moved in with gets to spend their money, and vice versa.

I only just caught this two-parter last week! My word, that woman is a whacko! I thought her faith in God was pretty well shown for what it is when the credits showed that “Margaret, on reflection, decided to take the $50,000”.

And from those who have seen her more recently, apparently she has yet to get that gastric bypass. But she _has_ turned into a serious famewhore – any time there’s a reality TV gathering, there she is in all her glory.

**lisacurl** , did you talk to any of her family? I’d avoid her like the plague, too, but her family did seem a lot more tolerable.

Even deeply fundamentalist people don’t always throw their kids out into the street for getting pregnant, you know. Heck, I bet most don’t. It doesn’t make them less devout, if that was what you were trying to imply, or mean they were bad parents (there are other reasons to think that ;)). At seventeen any girl might get knocked up, it’s hardly a sign of enormous moral failing in her household.

Yeah it’s old news, who cares, I’m laughing in the privacy of my own home thinking about her again; anybody have a link to that bobblehead doll?

True, but it is a sign of enormous hypocrisy on the part of someone who holds others to a fundmentalist Christian moral code that considers pre-marital sex a sin.
