Confessions of a Black Atheist

6. Well, tell her "howdy" for me!

I've mentioned before that I often twirl the radio dial on Sunday mornings, practicing a little Recreational Xianity. I listen to both Black and White preachers. At least until they piss me off so much I have to change the station.

This area has some massive social problems the churches might be able to help with.

e.g., South Carolina just recently re-claimed its title as the #1 state for domestic violence against women. Drugs, especially meth, and the associated crimes are a huge ongoing problem. So is DUI, which seems to claim the lives of younger drivers almost every weekend.

Yet I generally hear the local preachers only ranting about 2 social issues - gay rights and women's reproductive rights.
