Vaquero wrote "It seems that being a conservative Christian is a sin." this was reported yesterday.. CA school (surprise huh..) some type of open house, one of the staff was wearing a (pictured) small cross. yep, they wanted her to remove it to avoid "upsetting" others.. finally let her put it inside a sweater..
I called a very good friend of mine (who was a pastor for a while and graduated from a Baptist Seminary with me) to talk about my recent move to Texas. One of the first differences I commented on was the sense that you don't have to constantly feel defensive about being Christian and going to church. It's a strange feeling to feel like I can discuss my beliefs with people here. It's a very different place in that regard.
