[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5046357, member: 24302"] There's plenty to be found everywhere. When the government forced busing on the Northeast those non-Christian Yankees who belittled Southerners for generations suddenly showed their true colors. And I've attended services with blacks and others for many years. My father, who's a retired minister, held an annual gospel meeting for a black congregation in Georgia for a decade before my stepmother's health kept him home with her fulltime. My grandfather was both a minister and a well driller. Many times he was called in the middle of the night to a black home to fix a well that was struck by lightning, which happens in Central Florida. They often were too poor to pay him then and he'd accept a chicken as a payment if they offered or he'd tell them to pay him when they could. He almost always got paid eventually and he never gouged anyone. Those are just a few examples but Christians all over the place try to do what's right. It was Christians, not atheists, who were at the forefront of the abolitionist movement in the U.S. and elsewhere. Go peddle your hate somewhere else. [/QUOTE]
