Hmmm.

It's true. He even admitted it himself on tape and during interviews. (My wife loves watching true crime stuff.) How you were raise can help determine your future, but it's not a guarantee.

Bundy made a lot of different/conflicting statements in his time. Truly nothing that he ever said on any topic should ever be taken at face value.

Bundy’s mother was, indeed, a church-going woman (Methodist) during his childhood and after. Perhaps that’s all you meant. The identity of Bundy’s biological father remains unknown, of course, and so we do t know what influence he may have had on Bundy’s life.

At any rate, I take your larger point to be that our decisions/actions in life are sometimes in conflict with the values our parents tried to instill in us as children, and I certainly don’t deny that.
