This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

in the bible belt and suicide belt regions of the US you get some certified wackjobs

Some of the most certifiable radicals I've had the dubious honor of meeting were in California and NY. The center of the county has it's share, but for the most part it's just background noise. You listen to church radio because it's what's on. You celebrate Christmas because the city puts up a big tree and throws some public parties.

People can be superstitious with or without a formal religious membership. And they can be Christian outside of the red states.
