Religion where you live?

[Munch]

Yeah something tells me that guy, despite all his redneck, republican, christian anti liberal and non-christian (probably anti gay to) mantra, all that wouldn't shield him from a bullet to the head if someone felt like doing it.

I demand that we start a thread for pictures of gawd-awful cars!

(This demand has nothing to do with my new motorcycle helmet camera.)

[kilodelta]

On second thought, it would probably take me a long while to find a car equal of that of the OP's... I'll quit before I shame myself in the failure to find gawd-awful cars.

I hate to lecture, and don't let me come across as PC, but how the fuck is that kind of rhetoric helpful? I don't think you should endorse radical behavior on our side either.

Honestly, that car is subtle compared to a car that parks at my gym. It has religious writing all over it PLUS a four-foot billboard attached to the roof. The owner always wear t-shirts with slogans like "repent or burn." There is also a big SUV with Christian Science of Creationism on it (I can't remember the exact wording). The most disturbing is a big truck that has a bunch of Marine Corps, pro-gun, anti-pacifism stuff with stickers like "the only good liberal is a dead liberal." That guy is a big bodybuilder. I've also noticed that all of the televisions in the gym that show news are set to Fox News, except one in the corner set to CNN. It's not like my gym is a little redneck hole-in-the wall, it's a large gym with lots of moms and younger people.

I'll try to get a picture of the cars next time.

Yikes!!  Yes, please share pics of the car if you ever get a chance (without being murdered).

I'm in South Carolina so..... Amazingly I know more atheists here than xtians.. My gf claims to be xtian, but doesn't go to church and play the hollier than thou game.. Her kids, from what I can tell are atheists, but are afraid of being public about it.. Grandkids definitely are atheists..
I see and here plenty of xtian nonsense here, but go out of my way to avoid it if possible..

APA, when did you leave Ohio?

I love it when a business proclaims they are christian.  I stay away.  Even if I have to go to another town to get whatever it is.  I have had my worse business experiences with christians.  I think they are inherently dishonest and immoral.

I agree, many Christians are inherently dishonest and immoral. However, there are business folk out there that are not Christian, yet tether their business to the cross knowing it will Improve business.
They're suckers for other believers.
My gf has a friend that will only use Christian dating sites, and she has the best stories of how she's been swindled out of money by men. Yet she goes back for more hoping to find her man of christ.

I moved from Seattle which is secular by U.S. standards, and heard frequent mention of god there. Here in Australia, not so much about god or guns.
Going to see Jim jefferies next weekend, he does some great stuff on guns and religion. He's Ozzie, but lives in the U.S. now. YouTube him if you've never seen him!

"Have a blessed day!"

I hate hate hate that most of all.  If I'm at work, I have to be nice about it.  If I'm not, I'll reply with "And you have a rational one!"

Lots of churches where I live but I don't see anyone flaunting it ...
I think I've tuned out. lol

I missed the photo.

We are in SW Michigan, where it is apparent that the vast majority of people are some kind of Christian. The only other atheists that I know of are three people who moved here from the UK.

We live in a $20 town that has I think five churches. We moved here from NJ where things are a bit more progressive, but still dominated by people who are affiliated with some sort of religion. It was quite a bit more diverse there.

I live in Genesee County of Michigan, a blue streak on a stain that's far too red. Better than Mississippi.

It wasn't meant like that, I never endorse violence, especially not killing people. It was just pulling apart that for all the bravado someone like that has using god as his methods of attacking other groups of people, the guy is just flesh and bone like anyone else, and there is no god to defend him if someone were to attack him, thats all.

Religiously insane tools like that use their faith as a shield thinking anything they do is okay because in their minds god would want them to, like we've heard many accounts though time of people killing others in the name of their religious idol. But when you get down to it, all an insane dirtbag like that has is words, and nothing else, meaning he has nothing to defend him from should he push someone to far.

Trust me, I take pleasure in seeing religious fundies having their backwards hate campaigns crushed and forced to 'conform' to progressive things, I even take pleasure in seeing them lose it when they can't be the bigoted assholes they consider a normality anymore. But I would NEVER find anything good or sound about some lunatic killing people based on their faith, like that guy who shoot the three students some months back.
