I am originally from Farmington Hills, Mi and moved to CA in 1988. Since lived in OR, FL, and NM. I am now retired and moving to Grand Rapids, for the reasons some mention here. God has always been a part of my life. Churches don't intimidate me. I tend to associate with Christians, as I am.
I worked here for EDS for four years. In/out road travel, as I lived in Farmington Hills. I was responsible for IT services at the GM/GMAC offices. I encountered no overwhelming religious bible thumping, or even communications between people. I also worked with the Steelcase people too. Again, no religious mentions. I happen to be an Episcopalian and although I don't attend church ever Sunday, I think it's a good thing being Christian. AND, I think freedom of speech, at bars, restaurants, fairs, parks ..anywhere is fine. I have heard discussions between couples, groups that I happen to sit in the area of. I could have gotten up and moved but it didn't intimidate me in the least. I actually thought it was great!!!!! In this world some people would like everyone to just commit to not saluting the flag, would like churches removed, as well as statues of religious and/or history. It is a pleasure to see those people Leaving, not to return to such a pleasant, God loving area, when they are so uncomfortable due to that. Like H. W. Bush said as President, if you don't like what's on TV,, "Change the Channel" or simply Get Out and Don't Return!
