Some of the lunacy that evangelical right at large have come to  
believe has been a result of his parents.  Seeing their son dispute  
that with vigor is encouraging to many ex-evangelicals (like me) who's  
beliefs are a direct result of generations of similar ancestors.  We  
who were raised in ignorance of the fullness of what Christianity  
really is, historically, universally.  In some cases (like mine) this  
can be chalked up to ignorance, generations of minimally educated but  
sincere people trying to find God navigating revivalists fads and   
fearmongering preachers.  It is truly a miracle they didn't cast off  
God altogether (although many did).  But in the case of educated  
leaders, there is no excuse.  And they deserve none, for leading  
American Christians about as far away from authentic Christianity as  
Christendom has ever seen.
