Among Republicans, 20 percent said Christians are the greater threat.
We have friends who are retired professionals who are GOPers. The wife is constantly ragging about ‘rednecks’ and ‘cross burners’ and how lovely multicultural places they have visited such as India show much greater tolerance and peacefulness than the horrible Bible belt southern whites they live among.
When i documented the ethnic convulsion that are common in India, such as those preceding and after Indira Ghandi’s assassination she just brushed them off with a flick of her wrist. Many upper middle class Repubs really despise the party base and believing Christians as much as libs.
The caste system is alive and well in India. Perhaps your friend prefers the Hindu system in India rather than our “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”? She is very foolish...
Well, Jesus’ own life style could arguably (from bible and other evidence) have been called redneck! This starts with Nazareth (wrong side of tracks) and the manger crib and just keeps on going... He’s a carpenter, he eats and drinks with sinners, he turns water into wine, he dies on a lumber cross, he eats barbecued fish, he even drawls in Aramaic (”ephphatha” anyone?)
God has a country sense of humor.
