Same here.

It should be like "hey this works great. Try it." instead of "Try it or burn in hell!"

Religious zealots, as you call them, are really authentic Christians unlike many cultural christians you will find around the country, especially in Liberal States. I understant that the Greenville area among others is target for a huge Christian Exodus. This bring tears to my eyes because I have endured the callousness of Northeast Socialist for years.

However, you probably won't find me moving there because of the water moccasins in the ponds.

I apologize for the language if you thought it was harsh. I thought it'd be okay to say "hell" in this thread if it was in a biblical sense.
