You guys don't realize what a validation your feelings are. My official title is Associate Pastor, Minister of Maturity and Ministry. Which basically means I am supposed to take Rednecked "that's wrong cause Momma said it was" Christians and turn them into Christians capable of speaking truth with compassion, and sharing their faith without cramming it down people's throats. It would seem I won't be out of a job soon... If things go well here I can always go to Europe...

P.S. One of my favorite situations is when a homosexual finds out I'm a Southern Baptist minister and stares in disbelief as I sit down next to them to have an honest conversation over coffee.... Talk about deer in the headlights...
