Ever been asked if you *believe*

11. Appreciate your point but no thanks. 😉

I admire your tolerance, the camaraderie, and sense of humor you shared with your neighbor.

Our neighbor however is a stern, overbearing, chauvinistic, retired military man whose only child doesn't speak to him. He is indeed a RWNJ and a practicing Catholic, global warming denier, and hunter to boot, who, btw, killed the neighborhood's "pet" wild gray fox. (Fox was practically tame in that a couple of us fed her at close range). So, there are many reasons for us not to be friends and now, we go to lengths to avoid him.

More than half the neighborhood share his same mindset. We plan to move in the next couple of yrs. Being informed liberal atheists in the South is most difficult. We've interacted with enough wingers that finding like-minded people is a welcomed breath of fresh air, that's why I spend so much time here on DU.

On edit: the one really intolerable thing about this man, who has *much* less education than my hubs and who reads FAR less than I, is that he's so f'n condescending with me.
