They might also teach about this man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Coughlin

Wow, that was an interesting read there! It seems like he may have been an influence on the character "Brother Justin" in the Carnivàle show on HBO.

You should hit the erotic poetry section of the Bible, just to be sure you get all the good parts in.
