My mom, a YEC, ran a Vacation Bible School/child evangelism ministry where she often dressed up as a clown and put on puppet shows.
Her indoctrination brainwashing lessons often included the creation myth.


Your feeling was my reality! lmao!

And she was hammering at me til the day she died...But at least I got to spend a few christmases with her at the end - she would come out here for a week at the end of the year for the last 5 or 6 years of her life and we would have relatively (for her) normal visits.
