Ep 95 Abin Cooper & The Five Point Church

In a quiet corner of America, a church preached purity.What it practiced was something else entirely.This week we examine the rise of Abin Cooper and the Five Points Trinity Church, a fundamentalist sect that blurred the line between belief and brutality. What began as fire-and-brimstone rhetoric escalated into abduction, execution, and a federal siege that nearly ended in mass annihilation.As law enforcement closed in, scripture was weaponized, martyrdom was rehearsed, and a single gunshot turned a standoff into open war. When a mysterious horn echoed across the battlefield, even federal command hesitated — and for a moment, prophecy seemed real.This isn’t just the story of a cult.It’s a story about power, fear, and what happens when ideology convinces ordinary people they’re chosen.Abin Cooper didn’t think he was a villain.He thought he was history.Source - Red State (2011) Directed & Written by Kevin Smith & Distributed by LionsgateIf you like this and want to hear more check out our Patreon page @ www.patreon.com/TheHorrorverseNetworkSubs are only $5 a month with a 7 day free trial for all new subscribersAnd don't forget to follow us on socials @alivealivepod and @aimeeroseiaa
