Mississippi scored highest across the board, with 82 percent of Mississippians saying religion was very important in their lives; 60 percent saying they attend services at least once a week; 77 percent saying they pray daily; and 91 percent saying they believe in God with absolute certainty.
71% nation wide say the finger snapper is a certainty.
The rest of the red states are not far behind. I would think with the amount of interaction between most of the people in Mississippi and who they pray to life and the condition of the state they live in might be a bit better.
These numbers are an embarrassment as far as I'm concerned. We are regressing as a country and the main reason is this and a media that supports this kind of thinking and uses other tactics that fool the stupids into thinking corporatism is the way god want us to live.
Hope the sun is shining where your at. Appreciate the visit.

Alabama can't be far behind.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, great pic! Is that a Rufous HB?
It is a rufous. Poor guy flew into the shop and there is an array of window they fly into. Lose several a year but luckily this fellow only knocked himself out. Took several minutes but finally he came around.
ReplyDeleteA personal best to you Fearguth for the Holiday Season and may 010 be the best!!
I have had the privilege(?) to visit Mississippi on several occasions. The first was 1973. There were houses backed up to creeks which functioned as sewers. Barefooted black children with sticks poked turds and tampaxes in the pools of water. If I had been them I would have prayed like a sonofabitch, too. Twenty some years later I ate at a small town restaurant. Not much seems to have changed with these sad people.
ReplyDeleteI would take a mud hut in West Africa over that and what I saw on the south side of Chicago in the middle 80's.
