I have a family full of religious nuts, good people just crazy.....by and large they took the fun out of fundamentalism....that could explain why i have a low tolerance to people that never had an objective thought in their lives who want to tell the rest of the world how to live....this place is self medicating I feel better already....I could go on with this but what the hey.....the sad part about dysfunctional families is the insistance on passing it on to future generations of family, kind like a tradition you know unless you stumble in from the outside....

I think I know what you mean Raymond. I have a few religious nuts as well (a few siblings, they mean well but that is all they know and how to be). So dogmatic I want to stay away.

So far it has been a bit better, as they are not trying to recruit me. Yeah!

I like to be inquisitive and curious about this world and the Universe. So far I think I found my spiritual path.

Well, I used to think my family was dysfunctional. Then I looked outside and noticed more dysfunctional lives as nutty if not worse than mine. I guess when I realized that being dysfunctional "seemed" normal or commone to most, as it "appears" to be everywhere, I decided to eliminate the word dysfuntional, and replace it with Bizare Human Behaviour Syndrome by choice and only to amuse my own mind of course.
The good news is, when you realize that you don't have to see only what is within the box, as you learn to see outside of it, you can remove Bizarre Human Behaviour from your life and not pass it on to the next generation. God willing.....

Why some insist on passing it on to future generations, Lord only knows.
