I could get into a passionate tirade about the poisonous, manipulative ways through which Christianity and religion indoctrinate children with ideas before giving them a proper chance to come up with their own.
I could. But I want to avoid preaching to the choir - or simply complaining, which I think I covered all too well in my last blog entry. I feel a little bit silly about how incensed I got.

- I've actually never been! I haven't had much free time to make it Austin since I moved to Texas a couple years ago. I have been trying to found out whether or not the ACA's meetings would be worth the trip. (Free time on the weekends is a precious commodity, lol!)

- Lol, I can imagine that your mom must have some stories! A UMHB student used to work at my office last year and the day after Obama was elected, he said that the student body was in a panic because they were convinced that the Antichrist was president. Apparently, groups of girls were walking around hysterically crying and preparing for The Rapture. Eek. Have you ever made it down to the ACA in Austin?

- I just realized after reading your blog post that you live in San Angelo. I'm taking classes at a community college in Temple, TX and I have heard a few amazing conversations like this. Eavesdropping at a Bible Belt school always pays off, lol! Although sometimes it's really hard not to burst out laughing...
