Went into it expecting it was just “ahh my parents like the orange man!” I wasn’t wrong, but holy crap did it go so much further. It’s a damn book, and I had to just skim the second half. I’m starting to think it’s fiction being that it hits every lefty talking point so well.

I can relate to a strict church experience not being great either, because I grew up in that. Not that it’s bad for being strict, but that a teenager that grows up in it from the beginning never has the opportunity to really question and understand why it is they believe beyond their parents told them to. Ask about things, and just like the article says at best they get mad and spit a bunch of verses at you. Also often a bit of church of the Pharisees, meaning rules, technicalities, and hypocrisy. So yeah, when these people get sent to places like college where they are attacked from all sides, their defense sucks, because they never understood what they believe to begin with.
