Seriously. So true. This article was really good. I think I’m lucky to have escaped that kind of church environment growing up…. If there’s anything I’ve learned over the past few years, it’s how our childhood impacts who we are, how we act, and what we believe to an extent I never realized. Those of us who escape with most of our sanity intact are just plain lucky.

Christians being persecuted in the US? HAH! I completely disagree. I roll my eyes at all those people. All that being said, I will certainly pray for Eric to have a dry night tonight. I understand the NEED for this to happen. =) You have a potty trained son! Way to go! <em>beck's last blog post..<a href='http://superbeck.com/2008/06/23/one-baby-check/' rel="nofollow">One baby - check</a></em> I only had time to skim that Chrisitan fundamentalist article and from what I saw I completely agree (and I’m probably a fundamentalist Christian - at least raised that way.)
