This Texan who grew up in the 60's and 70's within the evangelical movement is not surprised at all that “a good Baptist school” is the setting for this kind of shit. The sooner that you understand that, to them, women are men’s possessions, the sooner you will understand that the only thing to do is bulldoze the…

It’d be better if you did.

Why can’t it be both?

When your preznint-elect keeps on Twitter-fucking everyone, it’s fair game.

Chance, dammit. Noun-verb agreements goes away late art night ...

Yes. Their chances to make cash on the barrel is being suppressed. How about your employer making the same deal with you. I’m sure you’d love having someone tell you how lucky you are to have food and housing in lieu of a salary.

I am of that generation. What can I say? When you’re right, you’re right.

I know many of them.

I do that a lot.

Every time folks here in Tejas call me an “elitist intellectual”, I just answer, “Yep. Sure am.” Then I tell them that edumacation is too expensive to not use. Otherwise, why go to school at all?

Yes -- lots of Song of Solomon ...

They attend a nasty, hateful church that preaches that gay people and women are lesser beings than white dudes like me. There is no argument about that. There are plenty of churches that don’t preach that — even in Central Texas. They CHOOSE to attend one that does.

Maybe you should have this discussion with their preacher.

I’ve lived among “conservative” Xians for more than 60 years. I personally know at least ten, who, if they could get away with it, would do the exact same things you mention and are proud to let people know it. Religion is the problem — you’re just worried about brands.

When your church preaches hate and intolerance, you leave it. I did it, and my life is so much better without those people in it. I believe it is a sin to continue to go to that type of church — but of course, I’m no longer an Xian, so make of that what you will. I’m a white, hetero, 60-year-old native West Texan who…

I regret that I have but one star to bestow upon you.

As someone who grew up and has lived among these folks for sixty years, I have to burst your bubble. They don’t care about other folks — it’s all about getting more jewels in their crown when they get to Heaven. Once they convert you, they are off to the next victim, er, prospect. I saw this happen to so many people…

Poor widdle “conservative”.

I lived about 85 miles from there for many years. This is exactly correct.
