I built a Cape Cod style house with beams and 2" pine decking floors/ceilings with spiral nails back in the mid '70s.

Only if you say so.

You are so confused...

It does happen. It's not a situation I would place a young child in
without parental supervision.

You could probably encounter that from any religious fanatic.
I went to Baptist church services, "bible school" sessions, and summer
camps for a couple years, maybe age 9-11.
Never heard burning in hell mentioned. Sermons and bible school just
concentrated on interpreting how the meaning of passages applied in
conducting your daily life in a "Christian" manner.
Don't think I even heard the word "saved" in that church.
Don't remember ANY religion taught in the summer camp, just fun.
It was all positive, no negative.
Though I'm not religious, I still consider it was good "shaping" of my
morality.
With Baptists, I think the tone is almost entirely set by the Pastor.
Maybe I got lucky.

Very true. The Methodist services and camps I went to happened to be
moderate and for the most part enjoyable. It depends on the integrity
of the individuals. I wouldn't generalize that most Baptist pastors are
as aggressive and explicit as I experienced but I also wouldn't trust
any of them alone with my kids without being *very* familiar with them.
The Baptist philosophy in general was more fundamentalist and literal
with way more urgency given to strict adherence.

Well, my ma went to Sunday services with us and, like everybody else,
talked with the Pastor. It was a very friendly environment.
She wanted us exposed to some "church going." Never forced it on us.
The bible classes were part of the Sunday session, and except for
Friday church trips to the YMCA for swimming fun, and the summer camp,
it was a Sunday affair. Only thing I remember being "religious" was
Sunday. No fire and brimstone either. Big city church with a flock of
maybe 2-300. No cracker snake-kissing at all. Pastor was a Swede.
Can't remember why we stopped attending. At some point we just stopped
going. I remember not wanting to go, and play with friends instead.
Ma only went to accompany us. Nobody in my family ever got hooked on
religion.
It's possible I don't remember any "hard core" religion because
I didn't pay attention to it. (-:
But I know I never felt coerced, or frightened in any way. It was a
good experience. A do-good "socializing" experience, as it should be.
Not recommending or dismissing church-going, just stating my only
experience with it. I vaguely remember briefly attending a Lutheran
church too, but not clearly enough to comment.

It's my experience that Lutheran Churches have the best pot lucks and other feed-ins.

Yes, but nails here are commonly called out as penny size (#) not by
inches.

And you make up stories, so what?

Do you mean make up stories like how educated and intelligent his world
traveled, Mensa daughter is? The one who works as a customer service
person at a medical supply store?
