Yes, I live in a pretty liberal area... I live in Southern California.
The part of the bible belt I lived in (Western NC) was experiencing a cultural change trending to a more liberal stance (slowly but surely). I believe it may be due even in small part to the high level of welfare recipients (not a jab at them, NC has the 5th highest unemployment rate, their economy is shit).
However, I am not naive. I have been to many other parts of the Bible Belt and I know that it will more than likely be that the social changes won't begin creeping into the more conservative areas in the manner in which it is creeping into mine for another 30-40 years.
I know exactly what you're talking about, though... I knew plenty of people that believed gay marriage was wrong because, and I quote, it was "against the Bible" or "against God" and when argued against, they'll just say "the Bible is the truth and I believe in God!". What a joke.
In high school, I was in one of the school districts that put little stickers in the biology textbooks saying "Evolution is a theory, not a fact…" etc.
Is it normal I feel really bad for Mitt Romney?
