The story about my bizarre yet comical life growing up a Baptist Christian Fundamentalist. As an adult I became an Evangelist and a Pastor, and eventually a Secular Atheist Freethinker. To my surprise, and all my relatives, the actual transition was quite rapid and with resounding finality.
I lived my childhood, teenage, and young adult years in South Bend, Indiana during the 1940’s and 50’s, just a few miles from Notre Dame’s golden dome. We were the Christian bible thumpers and they were the infamous Pope’s Catholic “pawns”. I found myself treading water in an ocean of immense emotional conflict and psychological turmoil.
Later, as an adult, an epiphany shattered my Fundamentalist indoctrination, forever ending my Christian Baptist beliefs. In our post 911 world, “Justifiable Homicide?” can be a Rosetta stone to unlock the core code of religious extremism. The book is biographical, with humor throughout.
