"Letters from Kentucky" - Section 12

In many cases, people from the South are very religious.  In "Letters from Kentucky", this is proven to be true, in the section I was assigned, Daniels is reminiscing about his childhood and his roles as Jesus and Judas in the passion plays at his Vacation Bible School.  What is extremely ironic is that he is apart of this play to celebrate their religion, but the father seems to be so cruel.  Daniels even writes, "He cooked and served at the Wednesday night church suppers and was happy to do it.  But he didn't have time for what he called churchified people". It strikes me of this idea that people only want to be good on "church time", and think that makes up for them to be nasty and impure every other moment that they exit the doors of God's home.  With the fathers excerpt after that paragraph, he's going on and on that his God doesn't care what he's doing so why should all these other people be so worried about him? Which, I kind of do understand, but he's just not the nicest person, so I also see where they're coming from too.
