A state district judge granted the request Thursday, but the Texas Supreme Court directed the lower court to vacate its order on Monday.

    Or just brainwashed. Having grown up in a conservative, christian, home-school household I was told to vote R no matter what. I didn’t really know any better until I got out into the “real world” and understood what a bullshit take that was.

    I now vote “fuck the GQP” every chance I get. That included the recent ballot issues here in Ohio for abortion rights and legal marijuana.

    I would also call myself agnostic from a religious perspective. Though I would lean more atheist if pressed.

      Dude no shit? I grew up in a rural Appalachian Christian household, homeschooled. I also consider myself agnostic.

      Several things influenced major changes in my household. While my parents marched in pro-life DC rallies and were somewhat religious, my dad was a hippie in his early years and anti-Vietnam, and my mom is truly a very empathetic person. After Bush invaded Iraq, that combined with what I consider the wild west of the internet helped break them out of the echo-chamber.

      Ultimately we all flipped 180 to progressive Dems over the years.
