It's called posting on a city data form and not paying attention to your spelling. And for the record by far the worst people (in terms of bigotry, treating other people, treating their own body with alcohol/drugs, leaving and/or cheating on spouse) I have ever met were self proclaimed evangelical and/or "born again" "christians". I've also met some nice ones too, but I'm always initially suspicious with born again and/or conservative baptists b/c so many exhibit behaviors and attitudes I do not like. Areas that have high concentrations of people who self identify these faiths are generally not my cup of tea.

It's a good thing you are just making those kind of bigoted generalizations about Baptists and Christians. I'm pretty sure if you said that about AA's, Jewish people, atheists, or pretty much anybody else we would all be getting our pitchforks. It's a good thing for you it's still okay to be prejudiced against some people huh?

A good state to avoid would be one where intolerant people reside

I'd have to disagree. Ohio and California are great states, plenty to do there. compared to Indiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Kansas Ohio and California are slices of heaven. The five states I just mentioned I would never live in even at gun point. In general I would just avoid the Great Plains states altogether save Texas, because they generally are devoid of any major cities and are just too uninhabited and isolated to me. I would also probably not live anywhere in the Deep South either. Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama IMO don't really have a whole lot to offer, especially after Katrina.

I would skip the south also, california there can be good parts, but Ohio there isn't much. no mountains, no lakes, not any large cities(pop700,000and above).

In the Eastern and Southern parts of Ohio you have the Appalachian foothills and Ohio River bluffs, and what about Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland? Are those not large cities? I think a large metro is every bit as valid as a large city, particularly since not every large city has a large metro. And no lakes, huh? What about Lake Erie? In any case, it's your right to hate Ohio...so who am I to say you are wrong?

Ohio has some very beautiful areas. Not mountains per se, but very big hills, and very beautiful. As for cities, they have Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Akron, etc, etc.
