"My folks were fundies," she says. "I was raised to believe that there's some invisible cloud-cowboy who sees everything you do and everything you think, all the time. And if bad things happen to you, it's because you didn't pray hard enough or whatever. But if you're really bad, all you have to do is say that Satan made you do it, that you had a demon or something, and if you cry enough in public about it everything's fine. I could never reconcile that."
