reason 67980989 I love living in the south
This morning while at Lowes buying gardening supplies for the day, some woman tells me I'm obviously not a good christian because I was shopping on Sunday morning.
Re: reason 67980989 I love living in the south
Right. And she was there because...
Sunday mornings are a great time to be in the South. As long as you hit the restaurants before the church rush, you don't have to wait. Plus, the highways are empty. The only bad side is you might be unlucky enough to get stuck behind a Sunday driver.
You should have told her you worship on Saturdays, just to watch her try to fill in the blanks on what exactly that might mean.

Same with me
I LOVE grocery shopping early Sunday mornings. It''s so deserted and peaceful.
Signed,
Bad Christian
X3. I actually live in the same town as the op, and none of these things ever happen to me. I very rarely even have anyone mention anything even remotely religious to me.
Not many. At least not in the deep south. That's born again territorial.
My favorite story is when I interviewed at a rural school in NC. I had to teach a class. The teacher explained to the 7th graders that I was from notre dame and that was a catholic school. They then had a million questions about Catholics ( all based on stereotypes) because they said they had never met a catholic person before, lol.
I had lots of interesting encounters when I lived in the area where the OP lives. Lots. And in rural N.C.
I get a lot of odd comments when I go see DH's family in Mississippi.
Mainly things like, "why are you here and where did you come from?" It's a small town and they act like I'm from another planet.
And they always comment on my clothes.
It's somewhat awkward.
Oh yeah, there are a lot of "The South Will Rise Again" types around here. Dude, Indiana was in the Union. There is supposedly a KKK group a few towns over from me.
my read shelf:
X4. And that includes MS, NC, SC, and FL. I've seen some odd/dumbass/racist/cray cray religion things in the paper, but I've seen the same things in MA, IN, and OR (other places I've lived).
