I dunno. Kent Hovind has some similarities, and I don’t think his backstory is particularly remarkable either way. No indications of having an abusive parent or anything like that, not as far as I know, anyway. He’s a real piece of shit to the point that he doesn’t even get invited to the big Christian apologist parties anymore. His son, Eric Hovind, does get invited to those parties, and he doesn’t talk to his dad anymore.
