At the time it wasn’t, because I was raised by two cucked right-wing nutjobs who took me to Reagan and Bush rallies where military planes would fly over and they’d play I’m Proud To Be An American and shit like that. I was an adult before I started to wake up out of that stupor. Ironically, it was how they raised me that started my journey. My parents raised me as a evangelical Christian, and it was the dichotomy between what the Bible said and what the politicians and preachers were saying that started me on the path to recovery.

You’re almost me, except we were a different flavor of Jesus-brained.

Jesus-brained is exactly what I’d describe my childhood as. My partner came from a similar background, and we just tell people we were in a cult because of how far it was from mainstream Christianity.
