Welcome from the Carolinas! I am not quite as deep in the south as you are but my state is probably equally crazy.

Welcome from the deep South... of Italy!

Have a great time here Big Grin
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Welcome from Ohio, the...shallow north?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Welcome from the Great Northwest (yes great is part of the name Wink )

We have our share of religious crazies here, not not like you do. I do notice the difference when traveling the Bible Belt.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Welcome. I too, am an atheist from the deep south. Alabama.

I had a friend from Alabama who was pretty religious.

He moved to New York and is now a heathen.
