HELP! Baptist who goes to Buckhead Church, wants to live only around Protestants

[lastminutemom]

Really? Could this one be a really bad joke? (your user name makes me wonder)

But I will bite anyway...

forget moving... send her to a church based private school. Mt. Vernon, Ms. Pisgah, Mt. Bethel, what is the one John Smoltz helped to start? Greater Atlanta Christian, Wesleyan, Landmark Christian...etc

There is little to no religious diversity at these schools especially the more established ones like GAC and Wesleyan.

This thread is a very suspicious post. Troll??

^Very suspicious. The OP intentionally used bigotry in his original post and is now acting like people who have a problem with that are the one's with the problem.

[Tdiddy0027]

might I ask, aronson60, what you have against catholics?

[brook2ga]

Just an fyi....Catholics read the bible also. Having lived in several parts of the US, I have never found Catholics to be "in your face" about their religion. Feeling stifled? That's your state of mind. As said, there are numerous Baptist churches in Gwinnett....check Johns Creek and Duluth.

I think it's a troll too. Presumably someone that concerned and who apparently has money would simply send their daughter to a private school. There are plenty of them around that are evangelical. And the evangelicals have their own universities too, Oral Roberts, Bob Jones, etc...

Wow, you fit the steretype of a "baptist with a bullhorn" perfectly. Almost too perfect, and completely laughable. Im glad it bothers you that catholics are "surrounding you."

Although it could be a troll, it kind of suprises me that some of the people on here don't realize that these type of people do exist in Atlanta. As a Catholic and a native, I have definitely met them before. I cannot count how many times I have been told that I "worship mary/statues." And I have definitely heard people say that their parents would be upset if they married a catholic. Its usually only Baptists and Methodists who say this though, but I have heard it.

Either way, you might as well give up on Atlanta. Your professor friend is right about Atlanta becoming "infested" with Catholics. And it is only going to get "worse".

Looks like even Gwinnett isnt safe from the papists:
Catholic population on the rise in Bible-belt entrenched Atlanta

from Wikipedia:
"Atlanta contains a large, and rapidly growing, Roman Catholic population which grew from 292,300 members in 1998 to 750,000 members in 2008, an increase of 156 percent. About 10 percent of all metropolitan Atlanta residents are Catholic.[3]"

Georgia itself has gotten a lot more Catholic recently:

Georgia is 22% Catholic, which is more than the midwestern state of Ohio.

I believe so.

There could have been many ways to convey a desire for a specific neighborhood without a lot of the anti-Catholic comments that were added to the post, which seems to have been done only to "rile things up". I vote troll. Anyone can come in here to ask for neighborhoods that learn toward specific demographics and they're more than welcome to do so, but the "it really upset us when our daughter started dating one" kind of stuff has no relevance to the question being asked, and again, seems to be there just for drama and stirring the pot.

My goodness this type of thinking was even outdated in the 1950s... I suggest the OP find a time machine and go back to the Atlanta of 1889.
