So I definitely know what I’m talking about

No sir you definitely do NOT know the totality of Christian life outside the RC compound. I've said this elsewhere and I will say it again, it is gross error to generalize from one's own limited "bad church" experiences to the full spectrum of Christian experience outside your particular denomination. It amount to bearing false witness against your neighbor.

For example, I have Catholic relatives who participated in murder of the unborn. Not theoretically, but really and truly. I have not given in to the temptation to generalize that horrific experience to all Catholics. Are you glad for that?

OTOH, the vast majority of Christian leaders with whom I have had real, personal contact are so completely opposite your stereotype that it amazes me such a stereotype can exist anywhere but in the minds of committed atheists and/or leftists. It's really breathtaking to see such blind prejudice here on FR.

You are so right. I'm not even chrstian, but the absolute scorn and downright hatred of rural America (especially the South) by Catholics on this forum is unbelievable. They claim to be the ultimate target and antidote to the Left and modernism, but they combine a leftist vocabulary of demonization with internal modernism teachings.

I'll never understand this hatred. Never.
