Howdy! Living here in the "Heart of Dixie" sure comes with its challenges, especially for the more broad-minded folks. Most of the time, a logical debate is not possible because the religious & conservative folks are so ingrained by their familial & societal influences, they just cannot grasp any other mindset. I was raised in a Southern Baptist environment in Texas; I have a depth of knowledge about the precepts of Christianity. I live in Columbus, GA, a city of 200,000 folks & what is most frustrating is that many people will proclaim their love of Jesus, will get downright angry when confronted with opposing views, & then it comes to light that I have much more historical & literary knowledge of the religion they're defending. I don't hate anyone who claims to be deeply Christian - it just annoys me.
