Veerrry interesting stats on charitable contributions by State....I wouldn't have guessed it.

242. People were responding to two days of trolling

If you read actual responses to the issue, they indicate a far more sophisticated view of this issue than you present. If you read responses to the person, they indicate many females here who are calling this person out - now and in the recent past.

If you read a post from someone who had made a joke to an African American here making light of the Trayvon Martin killing, would you assume this person has good intentions with any posts here?

And, frankly, any political group that calls for policies the Republicans do, is, imo, the definition of evil in political life - or one of them.

When you have a party whose southern members present justifications for the good of slavery - if you don't oppose that, and the religious ideology that supports it, then, imo, you are on the wrong side of right and wrong and history.

What's so puzzling is that such a religious part of the nation has such horrid policies regarding the poor. I thought religions were supposed to demonstrate compassion toward those less fortunate, but the overwhelming religious block in the south, the southern baptists, have supported policies that punish and degrade the poor.

The simple explanation for this, as I noted below, is that the southern strategy of the Republican party appeals to white, racist, and overwhelmingly southern baptist defined voter.

Is it any wonder that others find a religious group whose purpose was oppression and bigotry from its inception, whose current political affiliations reinforce this, not worthy of consideration about how "wonderful" they are to contribute to charity - when, again, that charity giving isn't even accounted for, and can be use to support right wing political causes?

It's not derp to oppose a religious group whose formation and continuation has been grounded in racism.
