FWIW, even back when ‘Carrie’ was his first novel-hit, the religious ‘Mother’ was painted as a freak and was literally ‘crucified’ when Carrie realized the full extent of her psychic powers. (We must all ‘kill’ our ‘Mothers’ in one form or another - a theme as old as Time, blah, blah, blah...)
Nah. He’s always had ‘issues’ with religion, LOL!
Thanks, Wissa—that’s interesting.
Diana, that is *extremely* interesting. Makes you wonder what on earth the Methodists did to him. They’re such a milquetoast bunch at best, and uber-lefties at worst. [To any FReeper Methodists who read this, I’m again assuming it was the United Methodists. I’m sure there are still some fine conservative Methodists, but they’re in the minority]. Things like that drive my curiosity wild. A religious ax to grind doesn’t materialize out of thin air. I wonder what happened to King?
