'Might'?

The ones I keep meeting 110% KNOW with absolute certainty, they're getting that damn banana! No doubt about it. And they have told me the others that think they're getting the banana, aren't getting the banana.

Texas seems way more filled with these adamant banana folk than any place I have lived before.

IMO secretly almost all have doubts.

I was a military brat... Mostly east coast, some Italy, then my folks retired to Missouri.
Seems most Catholics like in Italy are always asking for forgiveness... Like they know they aren't quite good enough.

Most of the folk I knew on the east coast were pretty 'whatever' about religion, but I was in Virginia and North. Not the Carolina's, and South.

Missouri was the first time I saw distinctions between Catholics, Baptist, and Pentecostals... Baptist think everyone is going to hall, Catholics drink enough beer, they agree. Pentecostals girls don't go to college, They marry an older guy in the church after HS and reproduce. Freaking weirdos all of then!

St. Louis and Omaha seemed secular to me. I don't recall a religious vibe from any neighbors or co-workers.

Then Texas, where there is a distinct portion of the population that refuses to change their mind. Homeschoolers because homosexuals that teach in the public schools. Open racism and hostility towards others over religion or a lack... And being Texans, they are right and that's it. Screw facts, evidence, whatever. Changing your mind is a sin. In fact Governor Perry probably outlawed changing opinions during his term in office. They know what they know and are completely confident they are right and others are wrong.

A high ranking bishop isn't called a primate for nothing 🙂

It's a good illustration of how religion has held back the formation of critical thought in the world. It encourages people to rely on these faith-based modes of thinking, where you blindly accept what has gone before without the need for proof. I think we have mathematics and science to thank for a revolution which came from the Greeks but really took nearly two thousand years to gain momentum.
