re: Too hot - 2/24/2012 -
3/11/2014By far the most religious and perhaps coincidently, the most racist and homophobic place I have ever lived. Born and raised in Whitehouse, I travelled the world for 15 years and for some unknown reason decided to move back. I was hoping for progress but instead I see regress. I have never seen so many churches in my life and it is sad how easily racial epithets roll off these religious tongues. I heard the "n-word" more in my first 3 months living here than the previous 10 years combined, and all while a crucifix hung around their necks, absolutely disgusting. If you are non-religious, expect it to be a full time job keeping people from attempting to indoctrinate your children at every turn, schools included. When we moved into our new home (and an upscale, 300k+ neighborhood) our 3 closest neighbors came over to welcome us. Their main concern was judging us on religion right off the bat. One asked "what church do your parents attend?" another said "the couple that lived here before where members of our church but they never attended (wink wink) and the 3rd was the best, "you are an atheist aren't you". So kind and smiling right off the bat, now they won't even wave back to my 4 year old when we are out front in the yard. I would imagine the majority of people here have never crossed the state line, are devout foxnews watchers and love some Rush.
