    But does she think her parents are nut jobs, it would be a rare family whose child completely agrees with the views of the parent especially when the views of the parent are so, er, disconnected from reality.

    My parents are religious nuts, doesn’t mean I am.

      plenty of people think their parents are nut jobs, and plenty of them don’t and think their parents are flawless gods.

      IME that correlates highly with basically how adult/independent you are from your folks. some folks never leave the nest their entire lives, at least emotionally and often financially. blows my mind how many 30/40 something ladies I meet… who are still ‘daddy’s little girl’. I’m sure there are plenty of dudes like that too.

      my folks basically cut me off after college, but also I thought they were nut jobs when I was like 5 years old, because they are. they had all sorts of weird, delusional, and stupid beliefs, and had nothing to do with religion… they were just average americans.
