Wow, hadn't been here in almost six months and was a little surprised to get a response.... Masters studies has a way of eating time
I am actually now living in Tennessee, and even as a Christian I've found this incredibly foreign. 23 and haven't been asked why I'm not married, at least not yet.
It's weird, where I'm from originally, most people want nothing to do with Christianity. Here it seems like if your not specifically something else, your a Christian. It's really weird how culturally ingrained it seems to be.
Honestly, I prefer the semi-hostile culture back home to the shallow Christianity that is often down here. At least other Christians back home didn't accuse me of being a heretic because I don't react the way they think a Christian should. (I don't cry at the alter every church service). Always been a bit of a theological oddity.
Oh well, I'm only here for school anyway.....
