Your website is quite interesting for me on a personal level, because I had grandparents (maternal) that were Baptist extremists....and we lived in New England....Massachusettess in fact. My grandparents and some of my aunts and uncles were the biggest bunch of ruthless, hypocritical and hateful people you could ever meet in your life. Yet they walked around with a Bible under thier arm to justify their cruel and barbaric behavior. It wasn't until I was older that I learned of the reputation the Southern extremists had, and how they sounded much like my mother's crazy family. Friend of mine couldn't comprehend the extremism they would hear about the South. But I knew only too well having to live it as a child.....only it was in the North. The Moral of the story is.....there is extremism everywhere unfortunately.....and it is toxic, barbaric, ignorance, incompetence and destructive. In terms of my Religion.....I became Cathholic as an adult and have surrounded myself with an amazing group of loving, compassionate, nonjudgemental, selfless, beautiful people you could imagine. Peace Be With You!
