Used to live close by there. Man, driving past that complex was always creepy. The only time you ever saw anyone outside was when they were working. If you haven't seen Louis Theroux's Scientology documentary, check it out. He actually tries to get in and the way it unfolds is totally bizarre.

Thanks for the reply. The funny thing is my step-dad bought me the first Harry Potter book, then after it blew up in the church because of the witchcraft themes, he took it away and demanded to know where I got such garbage. To this day, he still doesn't believe that he bought it for me.

Can we please bring Fear Factor back just to test your monstrous burrito creation? I mean, I would do it for science, but why do that when others can do it for entertainment?

Hey, thanks for doing the AMA. It's pretty cool of you.

My question, though, is have you had a lot of the same experiences with books as you've had with music?

Growing up, I was certainly limited to what kind of music I could listen to, but what really stunk for me was having amazing books taken away from me. Things like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, anything with "magic", even C.S. Lewis books were taken away. With Tolkein and Lewis, I tried convincing my parents they were Christian authors with Christian themes conveyed throughout, but nope. Magic was the devil. No books with magic. So second question, more specifically, did you ever have to deal with parents concerned with magic in books or even movies?
