At least you have the presbys! I'm surrounded by southern Baptist and Baptist, the main difference being the skin tone of attendees. But I'll attend Baptist first, and they're good people, but most ignore the bigger rules (the big 10) in favor of the small ones, lol. I blame capitalism, epigenetics, memes (in the Dawkins/Blackmore sense) and multigenerational trauma.

A side note here, I've been reading up on Jung's troubled history, and I see why he's problemati; and I think he was onto something about the collective unconscious and religious archetypes because of memes, multigenerational trauma (religious and other abuse where religion excuses or justifies it, "spoil the rod, spare the child, etc," "wives obey your husbands," etc). So the opiate of the masses may need weaning, rather than sudden withdrawal, and that's doable. But I still don't want to live in a world where there are no Raphael's cherubs, Da Vinci's Vetruvian man, or Handle's Messiah. I think they can be explained easily by pointing out the primitive understanding of psychological archetypes, just as artwork and tales of the other myths, such as Medusa being punished for her own brutal rape, which wasn't her fault, but also ended up protecting her from other unscrupulous men who would have abused or conned her. But I also think that would go hard -in- hand with: but now we've mostly eliminated conditions that caused such behaviors, and have medicine, therapy, and supervision, or humane segregation for the mind that can not be successfully rehabilitated, otherwise.
