USA Bible Belt

[Alex K]

I assume that in comparison with other Americans Biblebelters are slender (as they are more religious they are not affected by the sin of gluttony) and they are more prosperous because they work harder than the rest of Americans, (that's in the proverbs that you will be prosperous if you work hard) and because the Lord gives them financial Wisdom.
Of course there are some exceptions, but these people are either atheists or agnostics.
Very few Bible-belters take drugs (only some atheists and agnostics).
Their mental health is also better, because they are more religious.

Is that a question? I'm not so sure what your point is

We must be the opposite of the USA Bible Belt. People are born to atheists, grow up as atheists, become adults, raise children as atheists, die as atheists and go to Heaven as atheists.
So, I wonder what it would be like to grow up in a totally different environment.

Bolded mine.  If you actually believe that, I think there are a few wires crossed.

And if your intent was to discuss "what it's like to grow up in a different environment," then why not just put that in your damn OP instead of loading it with clumsy snark and sarcasm?

ok, you are right.

just I am used to posting in another local forum, that is smaller and people know each other better, and sarcasm is used more often.
And Northern Americans have different sense of humour.
We don't make jokes about burning farts, for example. (yuck, so gross).

In general, it's appreciated when you say what you mean.  Sarcasm is great, but if it makes it unclear what exactly you want to talk about, it's useless.

Bible Belters actually fail in all those categories. Let me repeat there is more drugs, more STDs, more teen pregnancies, more violent crimes, more hate, people live less, people are less educated and have more gluttony in Bible Belt states then the rest of USA.
Now is that because God is testing them? Or they worship wrong God and real God (Krishna?) punishes them because they even have worse weather problems (like hurricanes) then the rest? Or there is no God and by living on ancient way of life they are worsening their lives and well being.
