You try way too hard to hate Atlanta, buddy...
Yeah, I guess he never ran into those Black Hebrew Israelites in Brooklyn. He'll learn though...

Eh...pretty pedestrian. Gives me no compulsion to move back. I think these show much better production values.

The last is a montage of films shot there, but it's not really racked with crime and super villains. But good cinematography naturally.

Probably not. Houston has been really good for me!

Actually, I did encounter a few bible thumpers in NYC when I was visiting this past summer. Oddly enough, in the time I've lived here (even living next to two mega-churches in heavily conservative suburbs,) I never really encountered anyone trying to "force their religion" on me. Maybe I'm not living in an area with a critical mass of bible thumpers...

And while I normally complain/shake my head whenever a thread about Atlanta in the Atlanta forum is derailed with irrelevant posts about other cities and our supposed "inferiority", this thread was doomed from the start. Just look at the title! "I'm Not Sure Why Anyone Would Live Anywhere Else"? That's just asking for posts like "meh Houston/Dallas/Miami/DC/Chicago/[insert other city here] is better." or "Atlanta? Ha! NYC is a real city." or "lol at Southerners thinking Atlanta is an amazing city. How cute."

Haters gonna hate! Atlanta is the City too busy for all that.

I wonder if we have Atlanta folks that troll other city forums talking about how much those cities suck and Atlanta rules?

You don't get that in NYC, SF, Seattle, LA, etc.
Let me be the first to tell you the bible thumpers are everywhere. I can tell you how many times I get on the train here in NYC and there is someone preaching that Jesus is coming back.. I can tell you that the Jehovah's witnesses are inside train stations passing out watchtowers. I have been asked several times since I been here what church do I attend. Not just from Black's but from other races to.

Going to NYC L.A etc your not going to escape religion being so called shoved in your face.. Based on the negative spirit you have on here you may need a little religion shoved in your face
