Yeah, I was raised Roman Catholic. Well, S. Baptist - Radical
fundamentalist, whats the difference here? I mean, being Born Again
isn't any big deal, Catholics do it every Sunday. Most Americans think
the Pope is as strict a christian as you can get, and he just recognised
evolution as the most likely theory, which obviously nullifes the
literal truth of Genesis.
