..wow -- the Race Traitor thing? I'm assuming that's not hyperbole since it's not raised as such. but, jeeezuz. I'm kinda lucky in that I was raised more-or-less atheist (if I ever asked, my mom would say we were "Christian" with no definition of franchise). So I never had to deal with any of that kinda stuff. Which is good, but geez. It was just one of those things where religion was never talked about but I knew the stories, of course, from our culture, and they always struck me as pretty silly.
In fact, my mother would yell at me when she caught me watching various TBN kids shows when I was around 8-10ish. I would watch them because they were funny and terrible. And she was apparently afraid I'd be brainwashed by that idiocy couched in downright bad theology. I just found it funny, and whenever she'd go to the store, I'd flip over to TBN until she came back.
