Shit, try doing that in Mississippi, they would lynch before ignoring you, then they'd "Bless you heart"

I believe that is the best demographic to target. The only people who don't get it are evcagelical xtians.

Better way to explore opportunities and network with meetings. The alternatives would be ELF. Are they even still active? I like the Sea Shepherds. But an old cargo ship and crash into Japanese whaling vessels. ( insert Worf' s voice here ) "Ramming speed !!!!!!!! "

Welcome to my nightmare..? My take (around here 2 years now) is, religion allows for ‘closer to home’ control. Small town religionists feel little control over the rest of the nation, but ‘by god’ - they’re in control of their tiny piece of it! So they congregate, contemplating the equivalent of dried cow dung ..while nose-led by a semi-charismatic demigod pastor of their pasture…

From my previous rural experience (you’d find ‘southern stupidity’ in the clay hills of Oregon, too) ..it has to get mighty ugly before the ignorant wake up. And, there’s a greed & arrogance factor, too … sea rise from global warming isn’t going to get them ‘up here’ ...it’ll just ripen their tomatoes sooner.. And who cares how much coal they burn, the smoke blows off to some ‘tailpipe state’ anyway.

Actually, places like this website may be our best hope … a respite for freethinkers and confused youth seeking sanity outside their myopic physical world…

PS, my Great, and Great-great grandfather/ parents were from Abington; I’m closer to Roanoke, but glad you’re active over there

Look on the bright side they are doing something not just praying.

I understand your frustrations. I use to do a lot more activist work than I do now.I You work with people where they are. A lot of good can be done through churches. Just look for opportunities to expand the conversation.

I know....I lived in the South for a while....so glad to be back home in California.
