After leaving
Alaska, my wife and I moved to a small town in western Kentucky. We were the only Democrats and surely the
only atheists.
In town, the
first person we met asked which church we belonged to.
It turned out
that the Methodists were at the top of the pecking order; they looked down on
the Baptists. The
Baptists looked down on the Pentecostals, and all three looked down on the
Catholics, who didn’t care because they knew they were the only ones going to
heaven.
It was just
assumed that we were Republicans because everyone was.
We had a
beautiful Civil War-era home on five acres of land; but after five years we
sold and moved back to Maine because the religious fervor was suffocating.

You did well to stay even five years, LOL!
ReplyDeleteEven as a Spiritual Person, Religious ferver is suffocating to me too... with all the Denominational devotion and even Political Party devotion. We too Sold a fabulous Property due to the Neighborhood of pretentious affluent folks and Religious Extremists... they were pretty much all ReTrumplicans as it turned out... no Surprises there.
