Does the inbreeding in Arkansas, Mississippi, etc. explain why they believe in the Bible? Perhaps inbreeding breeds in religion.

Wow, your with your anti-southern views, you must be a blue-blooded yankee.

In reality (instead of yankee land), the only significant populations in North America with sufficient inbreeding to cause genetic problems are: (1) certain Native American tribes located in the far Nothern areas (e.g., eskimoes); (2) the Amish in Pennsylvania; and (3) european jews who re-located to the United States (Tay-Sachs being the most common problem). Indeed, studies among American Jews have show repeated "double cousins" in the lines, with the resulting increase in genetic problems.

Note that all of these populations are generally located NORTH of the Mason-Dixon line.

(Why do I know this? I'm ethnically Jewish, and this is something one must be careful about.)

No, but it does explain why some people are assholes.

No. Actually belief in the Bible began thousands of years before Arkansas and Mississippi even existed. The Arabs, on the other hand, have been inbreeding since the advent of recorded history and continue to do so to this very day. Tigers in the wild instinctively understand that inbreeding destroys the pride and so the young males are ostracized and forced to find their mates in other prides. The Arabs have yet to figure this out.

Your question told me more about you than I care to know. You should save revalations about yourself for your personal page.

What's your explanation for a majority of the population of California and Massachusetts?

Judging from your ignorant comment, maybe you should examine your own family tree before throwing stones at others.
