I did and it didn't really get my dander up. People have a right to raise their kids as they see fit after all. As long as the kid is not physically abused and cared for who is anyone else to say?

If one really wants to get down to it a "fifth generation holy roller" is not totally different than a "fifth generation welfare recipient". Survival basically peppered with beliefs. A "fifth generation welfare recipient" has been taught to "use the system". A "fifth generation holy roller" is trained to mold the system so we can have a utopian, theologically based system. According to their interpretation of course. Sometimes they may even overlap. Something to think about.
