The New Ecstatics are a cult that deliberately and cynically targets vulnerable groups (with specific laungauge such as 'raves', jacked up', 'drunk') and solicits donations based on unproven claims of the supernatural and channeling God to heal.
As the head of this cult Dave is in the house promoting it and I personally have a problem with that.
I also personally hate their core message of 'don't think, don't do anything, just get drunk'.
The selling of God's power, if it exists, as just another intoxicant and to be used solely for personal ends seems a perverse twisting of the Bible to me.
