It's a wiring issue.
has to be more than that

i have one brother and he is totally opposite... he got "saved" in a baptist church in his 20's and today is a full blown social conservative... when Glenn Beck had his daytime show on Fox he was a huge fan... he abhors homosexuals, blacks, etc... but of course he is a "christian"... i remember just before the 2012 potus election he spouted to me the right wing talking point that "half of people don't pay taxes!"... i proceeded to remind him that one of those people he is bitching about is our mother who raised us single-handedly and now lives off social security after working her ass off for 50 years... a large part is peer pressure, social pressure, brainwashing, it's who you hang out with... but then again i do feel like i am wired differently because i did attend church for awhile when i was young but it just wasn't for me... i felt like i would have to lie to myself in order to keep attending
