Welcome, from the worn, flogging end of the Bible Belt!
Seems to me that's where parents always screw up nowadays...fill a house with books, teach a kid to read before indoctrination really starts...then you're fucked. Now I see where I'll get all my philosophy reading suggestions.
You're also in the Bible Belt? I'm in upstate South Carolina. I swear that churches come in neighborhoods here. I probably wouldn't even know about evolution were I not obsessive in my own scientific research, as high school biology kindly skips over the grandest theory science has ever known, and the one organizing factor that makes the rest of biology make sense. Go figure, right? I sometimes wonder if I am really from here (technically I am from North Carolina). Northerners don't think I sound southern. I've been asked if I was from Pennsylvania or Boston many times.
