I am not a religious person but I will say again, I have my beliefs. Now, I havent pushed them on anyone. I defended a young man that means a lot to me, thats all. If all of this labels me as a religious redneck then thats your call. I grew up in Miami, Fl and have never been called a redneck before. But I have a lot of southern-good ole boy friends that I love like brothers and I tend to wanna defend that sometimes.
No problem dude...
Just lighten up a little. For the record, I never called you out as a "Bible belt, prayer-thumping hick from the south", so I'm not sure where that's even coming from, but I'm sure if you read my comments, you'll see I said no such thing, and that any religious references I made were directed toward the south, and weren't directed toward you, AT ALL! In fact, I challenge you to find even one of those words that I said!
My point wasn't even directed at you...It was directed at Dean. When Dean said to "Leave religion out of it", I was reminding him that is probably not happening in the south! I also made the point that of all the places I've ever been, I'd never seen Jesus references on fast food marquees or Jesus license plates at the state DMV (Charlotte, North Carolina, to be exact)! I'm sure anyone who has travelled across the country has also probably noticed this anomaly, in the south, as well!
It's not a big deal, really. It's just a style difference. When you go to the barber shop for a haircut in Boston, Playboy Magazine is prominently displayed. If you get your haircut in the south, The Holy Bible is prominently displayed. One isn't better than the other (well, one is definitely better than the other, in my world)...It's simply a matter of culture, my friend!

Now John...I've lived in the south all my life and never seen a bible at Supercuts!
Perhaps a tattered Vogue or GQ...but no bibles. However, Playboy would be very excellent reading material while I'm waiting for my cut and style...
You know, in 1993 I went to Supercuts in Gainesville Fla and had my 80's mullet cut off finally! Man, it was magnificent!!!! Cant remember what I read though but if there was a Sports Illustrated nearby it was in my hands.
