Sex Mom and God (2011)

Description

Alternating between hilarious scenes from his childhood and acidic ruminations on the present state of an America he and his famous fundamentalist parents helped create, Frank Schaeffer asks what the Glenn Becks and the Rush Limbaughs and the Sarah Palins and the paranoid fantasies of the “right-wing echo chamber” are really all about.Here’s a hint: sex.The central character in this strange-but true tale is a character indeed–the author’s far-from-prudish evangelical mother, who sweetly but bizarrely provides startling juxtapositions of the religious and the sensual throughout young Schaeffer’s childhood.
