thought

it's no wonder so many fundamentalist christian parents are screwed up. from sunday school on, they are taught to emulate the quote-unquote perfect authority/parental figure. unfortunately, when the lessons are taught by someone without the ability to extract the proper meaning from the darker material in the bible, they are alternately shown a beatific, unconditionally loving god and a petty, vengeful god as sermons alternate from the new to old testaments. the grand lesson many people are unconsciously left with is: as long as you toe the line and don't question anything, everything will be fine; but the minute you start acting up, it is perfectly acceptable to smite the living shit out of you.
