Both of my parents were United Methodist ministers. I could never see them threatening anyone. They taught me to "turn the other cheek" in any sort of situation where there is an aggressor, that anger/violence comes from fear, and that understanding goes further than retaliation. My father was an extremely peaceful and noble guy that touched a lot of lives through education and philanthropy.

That being said, they raised me to be so fucking passive all the time, it took me listening to Chemda to actually grow a pair in a lot of social situations where I should be sticking up for myself.

Thanks, Girl!
