Consider this:
- The nation's only creation museum is in Kentucky.
- Plans to build a Noah's Ark replica in Kentucky are in the making. (Refer to thread about this project).
- Radio stations in rural Kentucky are loaded with religious programming.
- Publicly supported KET-TV programs broadcast religious shows (good ole gospel).
- Many Kentuckians install large religious signs on their private property.
- Has anyone been in Kentucky's rural regions? People wear various apparel with religious themes.
It sure seems obvious that Kentucky is part of the Bible Belt. Louisville is not as fanatic, but traces are evident.

Outside of portions of L'ville, very much so (I believe Lexington, the other metro area in the state, fits in the 'very much so' category)

Of all the states I've been to, I can find gospel or christian radio stations. DUH!

What KET are you watching? My KET doesn't broadcast "religious shows."

There are 49 other states for you to move to you know. Oh but you would find something to complain about those states once you get there I'm sure.

I hate to tell Visa, but the perfect place doesn't exist. I used to be "mad" about certain things in the Murray area, but the more places I go, the more I love it here. I think Mastercard should move around and compare. Discover, there is no law keeping you here.

You would then agree that Kentucky is part of the Bible Belt, right?

This is a good point

I complain b/c I hope to see some things change for the better (I know some won't) but with that said, I have been to places I consider to be worse off and/or places I would never want to live
