I'd rather live down south in a Christian nation than in Canada.
I was not disparaging the south in any way, if that is how you read my post. Jews would be welcomed in such a "nation" -- I find the premise of good fiction is a foothold in reality and an understanding of human nature. I don't see much of either in the book as described. That is the implausibility which I referenced.
By me and a lot of other Christians, you'll be more then welcome in Dixie anytime!!
