I'm pretty sure I said above that things need changing, yeah.
Where we disagree is that I know change can't occur if nonbelievers such as myself run away, and I know that letting the limb fall off (does that mean evicting us from the Union? I'm not sure) is not really an option. Secession won't happen, not only because of the precedent set by the Civil War, but also because most Texans don't support it.
Like it or not, you're stuck with our 38 Electoral College votes. Changing the often-backwards views down here is in your interest, too.
Hey, the South didn't collapse into the sea like Bill Hicks' dream of Arizona Bay, there would still be land and resources to make use of after. And that we hadn't abandoned the electoral college centuries ago is probably a more pressing problem.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
