    It’s a broad statement, but when I saw that about obviously not living in the south. I got out, but guys… it’s bleak down there…

    We want change, we have got to get the neo-confederacy out. The biggest church is still the Catholics which they’ve swayed to the Republicans side with single issue of abortion, but the US is mostly protestant and the biggest protestant church is the southern baptist church. The church that literally was formed during the Civil War so they could continue to say slavery wasn’t a sin. And it is the kudzu of religion down there.

    Seriously… if you live in an area where a nuanced view is possible, good for you. And I can understand trying to lower the temperature… but if you have people that are in the left side of Christianity… there needs to be some serious outreach work to try to bring some sanity to the evangelicals to the country.
