Brilliantly written.. I can relate to a lot of the shit you are speaking about. I grew up almost the exact same way but in Southern California.. when I became to much to handle they shipped me of to Pennsylvania to work on muy aunt and uncles farm.. where I was force fed religion like we were Mormons... any infraction involved coping chapter upon chapter from the hated Book... luckily I managed to avoid serious trouble due to some fast talking plus a little witness intimidation... as soon as I was able I joined the military..
