31. There is a difference between Red and Blue State Christians
I grew up Catholic in a very blue State. I now live in a bible-thumping babtist red state and nothing could have prepared me for the lunacy I am exposed to every day.
Back home a person's faith is a deeply personal thing that most people keep to themselves. Down here it seems the only "Freedoms" these people treasure is the right to carry a gun and the right to force everyone to worship the same way they do. In Texas, you can get a permit to carry a loaded gun in your purse, but you'll get arrested if they find a rubber dildo.
If all christians were evangelicals I would hate and despise every single one of them for that very reason.
Honestly, I have no problem with people of faith who can live and let live--but when they start organizing and influencing the political system to force their rules on everyone... well how is that different from the taliban?
