This American Life interview is winking, with knowing phrases that betray a liberal audience accustomed to joking about “one of those Christian places that claims they can cure homosexuality.” It’s the tone of so many of my professors, people so far removed from the conservative Christian perspective that they can’t help but sound flippant, many of their lives padded by families who’ve supported them since they were toddlers.
so true, the families that truly love and support are not the fundamentalist nationalists...if one wants to believe in a god, at least let it be a god that supports all kinds of love and caring and allowing humans to think for themselves...no religion can do that
