The center can't double the speed of the crust; the outer edge of anything spinning are always spinning faster than its center. So the "new fellow from my new town" probably said something that was a logical fallacy, was either lying or stupid, leading to the line "I'm cringing for myself when I cringe for you" because the narrator is both cringing for himself (since he has to sit there listening to untruths) and for the man talking to him (since he's making a fool of himself).
The chorus (which, omitted from the posted lyrics, repeats itself with some modification) makes me think of a crime lord or mafioso. Still, it makes sense in the context of thanking his "friends" for showing him untruths (which, though wrong, are still helpful insights since they serve to demonstrate what is not the truth).
The line about teaching the spiders how not to be saved is almost certainly ironic. "Let's teach them your falsehoods, maybe you can demonstrate your irrational assertions for them."
It could be about evangelical Christianity, but that's not necessarily so based solely on the lyrics. The story about vacationing in a building full of spiders is compelling, and the spider-children analogy was probably too cool sounding to pass up.
