The Wise Sayings of Atheists

[Thumpalumpacus]

You're just mad because you got caught thinking one dimensionally again.

Shit, I'm not mad, kid. I'm pointing at you and laughing.

I did not say "the American South" as being the same as Arizona, just Arizona being part of the southern (notice the lack of capitalization) regions of the United States because it is.....

You cited your experience in Arizona as giving you insight into the American South. It doesn't. Arizona is a different kettle of fish, which you'd know if you were percipient.

even a battle your ancestors fought against the Union was staged their.

For your information, my ancestors got here in America between 1880 and 1910 -- except for my great-grandmother's lineage; she was fullblooded Blackfeet. Indeed, my great-uncle Georg got off the boat from Hamburg in Galveston in 1905. In 1917, he was on another ship, headed back to the old world. None of my ancestors owned slaves, at all.

In other words, you've got one more assumption punctured, even if you're not bright enough to recognize it.

Now saying many people from Arizona are in the same league as the Southern states is doing the South a disservice as the laws Arizona passed against minorities haven't been passed to such an extent in the Southern states in decades....sure they try and pass restrictive laws, but nothing like Arizona or even Montana (another Red state).

Ah, so now you're confusing the geographical, political, and cultural.

I did bring much sunshine to my neighbors. Most people (atheists and theists alike) love me for some reason. I don't know why, but they do.

Your confusion is understandable; I couldn't imagine why they'd find you appealing in the least, either. I also have to wonder if you're not perhaps misunderstanding them as badly as you have me in this thread.

eta: Just noticed you have been banned. Perhaps if you had more content and less screed you'd be able to still post?
