Really took root in C. Fl, couple decades back. Something that a person might notice, a christian person, for example, about those congregations is that their view of god and christ has been molded by a shared cultural experience trending a whole hell of alot closer to "God the Benevolent Despot" rather then the more european...and therefore to us more traditional, "Prince of Peace" model. It's not a rule, just a trend. That particular group of christians actually -was- hellishly persecuted, and while it may seem counterintuitive, a persons experience with earthly rulers might color the way they view celestial ones - even if they're being persecuted by the former while bowing down to the latter. That sort of stuff makes it's way to their kids, so on and so forth.
I doubt I need to mention much more to explain my interest......just wondering if it's another example of the effect of culture on faith, the way that different cultures or people with different cultural underpinnings view god, or what they see as an "acceptable" way to view god.
I used to have a weird fascination with blogs written by fundies. Many of the adult converts to more extremist, fundamentalist Christianity came from abusive households
That's how fucked up they keep the wheel turning on religion.
