Jesus Is Borg The Truth Shall Set You Free.

One South Florida church's attempt to scare Halloween revelers straight backfired after parents who took their kids to the church's haunted house left screaming ... screaming mad.

The Scream House was advertised in newspapers and on the Web as a typical haunted house, complete with a bounce house and rock climbing wall. But some who visited the attraction said the real intention of the attraction was to help keep people from going to hell -- literally.  The subhead of the Scream House, which was sponsored by the Abundant Living Ministries, is :
"It'll Scare the Hell Out of You!"

 In fact, the house features graphic scenes of suicide and drug overdose. The images are intended to shock viewers and, organizers say, keep their souls out of hell.  That doesn't sit well with some who went to the Scream House on Sheridan Street near Interstate 75, including some parents who charge the "in your face" presentation scared and traumatized their kids.  "We left at the part where the husband was choking the wife and calling her worthless," one irate parent told the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. "As we were leaving, I heard a gun go off."
