22. My methodist cousin was fond of asking me

"You know why i have to take at least 2 baptists fishing?"
"Because if I only take 1 he'll drink all my beer..."

I thought it was funny because i grew up in a fundie, independent baptist home. They were more strict than the southerns. But growing up in it I saw behind the scenes enough to know many many people who had their church face and their every other day face.

When you have ministers who routinely tell "N" jokes (from the pulpit) and youth pastors who openly "Hate N....s"* it's pretty hard to take any of this recent proclamation seriously.


*My youth pastor in high school was estranged from his brother because his brother played banjo in a dixie-land jazz band. And that was "N music".
