8. Growing up as a Baptist, I felt I was always right and entitled.

That is how they taught us. Luckily my parents were open-minded, and I got my college education at two liberal arts colleges which made us think.

They taught we were the only ones on the road to salvation. I outgrew that, a lot have not. It is worse now.

The church in our city that just split, with half meeting at FSC, involves some of the more prominent folks in our city...Republicans. Publix Markets was born here, and the children of the original founders are active here now. I was glad to see many of them on the moderate side....leaving the more rabid to their hate and narrow-mindedness.
