    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.

        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.
