You got it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I used to like country way back in the day when I was a kid. At some point, I guess maybe in the late 90s or early 00s, country took on this God-lovin, patriotic bullshit that seemed to make its way into every song. When I listened to it, country music was about drinking, your woman leaving you, drinking, and drinking.

Much as I don't like C&W it still beats the shit out of rap.
I was listening to rap the other day. I didn't want to. A car three lanes away was blasting it while we were sitting at a light.

I appreciated some of the more countryish stuff on Jack White's Lazaretto, as well as, like, Hotel Yorba. However, for the most part I can't stand it.

Can't stand the world today, it really sucks
Don't feel safe without my gun and pickup truck
Doesn't matter what, feel like I can't win
Too many other folks, with different-colored skins
Ain't the same now, as it used to be
Too many people have the same rights as me
Every time I hear "raise the minimum wage",
It makes me wanna go and grab my 12 gauge
Ain't no climate change and no meltin' ice
Just my lord and savior Jesus Christ
What I do when I start feeling pissed?
Imagine I'm settin' fire to an atheist
Red white and blue, better love it or leave
Ol' time religion's good enough for me
It ain't been the same since 1863
That's why I always vote GOP
Can't stand socialism or welfare queens
I'd hang Obama with his mom jeans
But I don't hate blacks, got some for friends
Just wish they'd only date other Africans
But I do hate how they're lettin' faggots wed
The only good homo is the one that's dead
Low-information voters, turn on that Fox News
The lame-stream media's run by the Jews
I like Bill O'Reilly, love some Hannity
Fair and Balanced, yeah, that's the one for me
Know what turns me on, like a buckin' bronc?
Ann Coulter's smokin' hot badonkadonk
Red white and blue flag wavin' 'Merican
Sick and tired of libruls and their YES WE CAN
Hate abortion even more than Mexicans
That's why I always vote Republican
