Once knew a similar type of believer who would not buy a “Red Devil” vacuum cleaner...that was in Texas too...
Gee...make that dirt devil...the machine is red...
I worked with a Pentecostal guy who was all big into science fiction/fantasy movies and 1970s cartoons like Space Ghost/Johnny Quest. I noted to him that his interest ran counter to the group and he admitted his local minister was really negative against this type of stuff....so he had to be ‘quiet’ about watching such things and made sure he never mentioned this to his wife (she was very conservative). I always laughed about his secrecy stuff....kinda like keeping a mistress in the garage.
It’s not just Texas...it’s up here in blue PA.
My next to youngest son played basketball straight thru HS (and is on practice squad at his college). Since he was about 6 or 7 he has been a HUGE Duke Basketball fan. He admires Coach K (In fact HIS Twitter got loaded by friends congratulating on Coach K’s 1K win). Needless to say most of his childhood wardrobe involved Blue Devil attire.
TWICE it was pointed out to me that the Blue Devil was INAPPROPRIATE. In gyms.
