"In his image" gives us a special place in God's eyes. I think spirituality is fine, but religions are nothing more than mainstream cults, and the focus of some churches on end times, left behind, rapture, and all that bunk is a death cult.

The Evangelicals started out in Northern Pennsylvania and spread south. It was a new type of preaching that took over the old fire and brimstone. Nowadays we have prosperity gospel and they eschew Jesus being poor, saying he was middle class, and as long as they give to the church and support the church charities, they're in with God.

But Alabama has a government run by whites and white republicans control the legislature on a pro family platform. May have been inroads lately as I see the redistricting court fights. But I don't see much changing.
