Just regular people that don't bother anyone? Check out the attached photo. I rest my case.
nice photo, those people are the extreme ones. they are very entertaining to watch, but ill bet there is at least one person who goes to that church who is not an extremist, who does believe in christianity and just goes about their life and doesent bother anyone. that church is most definitly in a small town, so its not like they have much infleuence either.
everyone has seemed to have forgotten when obama said "people in small towns are bitter, and therefore cling to guns and religeon" this is somewhat true, but offends people also so it cannot be addressed by obama other than to say "im sorry, i fired THAT speechwriter" as many times as he could.
religeon is a novelty to me, and its followers provide much entertainment; i recognise that it can and has (long ago) grown out of control, but in this modern times full of people who are already rude, not many will be using the church as an excuse to be rude anymore, they will just be rude.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
