So, quite intelligent brand work done by the Eden project, let the kids play on SNESs on a bus for several hours and then suggest they might want to go upstairs where they get told the bit about burning in the fires of hell and encouraging everyone to pray. And they're telling this to kids who don't have much by way of a future. I presume the Alpha Course are for the posh middle-class types... The two teenage girls seem to have joined the Eden project pretty soon after meeting them, one of them has a mother who is just clueless "Most of these kids are vegetarians. How can a kid be a vegetarian?" so it's not surprising that they're looking for a replacement for their parents. But unsurprisingly that friction between them and their parents is now translated to their relationship with God, which seems worse for them because it's their soul at risk now.
