That does sound right to me. Were they Johnny Come Latelys to the Reagan train too? It really is quite something how they keep people in line. I just love how they’re able to convince themselves and their followers that a man who has been married to the same woman for 25 years (Obama), who clearly respects his wife and kids is somehow less moral than a guy who talks about his daughter in sexual ways. But then again, they did the same to Carter in favor of Reagan in the early 80’s though granted Reagan wasn’t Trump when it came to how he treated women.

The degree to which fundamentalist churches and pastors are able to exert control over their flocks is truly disturbing. Looking back on it, I sometimes struggle strongly with my sense of self, like… how could I ever have let myself be controlled like that? What was/is so wrong with me that I couldn’t see it happening?
