Hey tuz
This slack-church-goer-but-christian-nonetheless would like to personally
apologize for anyone who has attacked you personally in the name of a
³Christian nation² and I would certainly love to buy you a beer and listen
to your thoughts on the world. I don¹t want you to move the hell out. :)

No worries, Greg. I was just trying to be funny. Ya know, "Ha Ha
Funny." That is my whole schtick.

I am desperately curious to know why today, of all days, you are
politically worked up. Was there a new development of which I am not
aware? Have they finally outlawed that whole pesky "Free Speech" thing?

Actually, I have been "politically worked up" for more years than I
can count (Disclosure: I can only count up to six), but I have found
that trying to educate and enlighten people or even open their minds
just a tiny bit results in the most hateful personal attacks I have
ever experienced. I don't have enough fingers to count the number of
folks who have angrily told me to "Move the hell out of their country
if I don't like it" or the amount of people who wanted to get into a
physical altercation with me because I was disproving the "facts"
that they had heard from the TV box.

This was mostly in Carrboro and Orange County. Had I tried such
treasonous activities in Raleigh or Roxboro I surely would have been
lynched. As a final data point, the majority of these True Believers
strongly claimed to be of the "Christian faith" and repeatedly
trumpeted the line that "This is a Christian nation." I did not
stick around long enough to explain Jesus Christ to them.

So, instead I just take my little photographs and make little jokes
about how strange the world can be sometimes. My career of fighting
ignorance and propaganda has come to a less-than-graceful end.

Actually I'm the one who should apologize. I took this thing way
off track. I am a touch "politically worked up" today.

Sorry all.

"I know very well what God hates..."

Well, my innocuous little discussion of funny bumperstickers has
certainly gone off the rails. Sorry to everyone for bringing it up.
