Are you a by product of your parents?

[NextLineIsMine]

As much as id like to think im the culmination of my own experiences I wonder how much of my mindset I just adopted from my parents. After all I have their very same liberal ideology and my dads passioned sense of atheism and lust for science. I wonder if i'd still have the same opinions and beliefs if I grew up in some Christian gun toting country home in the bible belt....

I'm growing up in the bible belt and my parents are Christians but I'm way different from them, I don't believe in god and I smoke and they're very against it. My parents and I are on a very different page.

Ideology aside, the older I get the more ways I notice I'm just like my dad.

I'm nothing like my real dad mentally, but I have probably adopted some of my step dad's morals which isn't a bad thing since he's a good guy (apart from sleeping with the next door neighbor which is why he isn't my "step dad" anymore, lol!).
Mm, I would say I'm a "buy product" people who was in my life at a younger age since I was a more observant kid.
