35. On both sides of the family tree there's a smattering of
fundie kooks, including a small gaggle of apocalyptists, if that's a word.

One blames "the mess we're in" on John F. Kennedy. She's been challenged on that theory, but so far nobody's been able to make any headway.

One is a missionary who believes Jesus attends her every move. At a recent family funeral she stood on a church pew and, waving her hands in the air, sought to call down the Lord into the presence of the gathering, etc. Some of us considered that behavior to be disruptive, not to mention delusional.

We have Jews, some anti-Jewish charismatics, a couple atheists, a few pagans of various stripes, and the usual assortment of other Judeo-Christian denominations.
