North East? South? Midwest? Something else?
South of Ohio and north of Tennessee? I think. I lived in Louisville for 5 months, which was fairly strange. A high school girlfriend moved from New England to hickledicklefuck eastern Kentucky and somehow got a southern accent and became a fascist Christian in about 6 months. The church she was in, though, split off from the main one in town over a dispute about speaking in tongues and snake handling.
I don’t believe you but upvoted for the chuckle
I do - I’ve both seen & heard some shit first & second hand. I’m guessing she fell into some extremist Pentecostal groups as they both speak in tongue & handle snakes.
Also areas full of Christian’s like that can really wrap the minds of people you’d think would know better. To this day I’m still bothered by how my area ruined the lives of 2 artists that I was convinced were going to go on to do great things. I fully blame the area they grew up in, so much talent squandered - literally any where else their talents would have got noticed & no telling how much better their lives would have been.
