Yea, I went to church every sunday, then it went from bible school, to service, then the evening service too. Then vacation bible school every summer. I even went to a "jesus camp" myself, but protested so bad my parents had to pick me and my brother up. I laid the law down by age 12, and my mom laid off. My dad really wasnt too religious, he just didnt want to hear it from my mom lol. But after my dad passed, my mom went back to school, and is now an lcsw and see's the world much differently now. I don't blame her for her misguided fervor, It is, however, the butt of jokes at the dinner table.
But, I was baptised catholic, (so i guess i am always catholic by church law) but was raised born again christian, which, is like evangelical lite. I was born a skeptic, however, and asked many questions, and you could tell they didn't like that. Especially versus that advocate slavery, or how god is angry and jealous, and how jesus said, that he has not come to bring peace on earth, but a sword. Stuff like that I would inquire about, and they didnt have the answer.
