33girl, I know what Alumiyum is talking about and it isn't just a southern thing. |
You prove your point well my friend, that holier than thou certainly isn't limited to local churches. Applause.
I'm not trying to fuel or un-fuel anything. I'm certainly not invested in southern stereotypes as the majority of them don't happen to apply to me. I was just born here. Either you don't understand what I am talking about or you have no experience with it since the southern baptist contingent is what I am referring to (again, no offense to baptists as I realize individuals don't necessarily represent the actual beliefs). I am by no means under the impression that the same phenomenon does not occur in other parts of the country (or in fact in ways not even related to Christianity at all), but the dynamics can certainly be different since the dominant denomination is different.

I suppose if you consider Southern Baptists to be the only Christians who "count" for your purposes, they certainly are concentrated in the South, but I really don't get it ... |
I had no trouble interpreting it whatsoever. I didn't find it difficult to read the key at all.
