Thanks, Neurochick. The nearby Civil War sites (including Ft Monroe) kind of explain that, but definitely don't excuse it. I personally don't think he was attractive enough to age out of the teen market. He's bland and mushy-faced, and I didn't think he was talented enough to be more than Scott Baio or Christopher Knight or what's his face from Mr. Belvedere. I have the impression that very few people got out of 80s sitcoms with viable careers. I never understood why the teen mags from my childhood were telling me why this curly headed fella was my dream boyfriend. "Mushy faced" is a perfect descriptor. YES! Gummy, mush-faced, uninteresting. Bleh. Most of my friends were swoony for him, too. I never really went for actors, though.

It was his charm and seemingly fun-loving personality more than his good looks that made him attractive to girls. When he became born again and came out of God's vagina as an uptight 50s middle-aged dad, it was all over.

What if the husband is abusive though? The husband is only abusive because his wife isn't godly and submissive enough. OBVS.

I recently read a blind item that said his wife Chelsea is a closeted heavy drinker and smoker. Makes me think it's true. I'd probably have a vodka filled IV bag hooked up to me at all times if I was married to this douche.

Another idea that is presented often with this ideology is that it's important to stick by the man, even if he is abusive, because he's going through something. So, you know, a woman's personal safety and the safety of her kids is less important that the man's "journey" through violent behavior (shudder).
I'm just waiting for some sort of scandal to erupt with this dude. You know it's coming. He's zealous, but he's also profoundly stupid. Something has to happen with money or a sex scandal at some point.

Am I being too generous to wonder what sort of fucked-up teen idol adolescence he must have had to have flung him so far into his religious fervor?
Granted, his sister is also quite religious (albeit less outspoken), so maybe the seeds were already there. However, I just kind of wonder what it was in his life that made him seek out this fire-and-brimstone view of the world. From what little I've followed of his scary rantings, I just wonder how deeply troubled and/or unhappy he must be with that kind of worldview.
