Dixiefag here. How do we make the South less retarded? The few smart ones are surrounded by hyper-religious nutjobs who deny a lot of science for literally no reason, even in the cities. Our culture seems to be inherently broken, and I'm at a loss on how to fix it.

Yes, but how? It's integral to the culture here. The first thing people will ask you is what church you go to. How did New England stop being a bunch of Puritan fuckers? I haven't seen any research on that.

We didn't, we replaced puritanism with Social Justice (tm) and Anti-Racism (tm). God just disappeared because the average person got richer. The South has been the way it has since before America was even a country, so I'm not really sure what you can do.
>>
>>8775281
The South was wrecked economically after the civil war and I don't think they've recovered.

But they slowly have been recovering, there are a lot of people moving to Texas for jobs.

I think as the economy improves so will education.

Actually, back in the olden times before America happened, Damnyankees viewed the South as a cesspool of vice for not being Puritan. Eventually something happened to make them switch places.

>>8775303
I'm from a town just south of Atlanta, which is more rich than most of the South, but I'm still encountering this. I think that economics has been taking a backseat to culture, just like in places like Qatar. The post-Civil War poverty has ingrained itself in our culture.

If you read liberal news outlets you will notice a lot of writers who grew up in New England or the West Coast (which has a lot of New England cultural heritage) ragging on Southerners for being racist, stupid, anti-intellectual, hypocritical, religious fanatics, etc. It has not really changed that much, instead of failing to live up to Puritan virtues they fail to live up to Anti-Racist virtues. Of course Boston can be just as racist as anywhere else, but we all need lies to tell ourselves.

The South isn't any different from the rest of the country. Redlands, CA is equally the shithole as Mobile, AL.

Anyway, if you want to build a better south:

1. VADOT, NCDOT, SCDOT, GADOT and TNDOT are all moving on rail projects that would more or less build a Southeastern high(er) speed rail corridor. This means cosmopolitan areas can build up and gentrify. Gringrich himself wants to turn Atlanta into a southern Amtrak hub, which so far has been unsuccessful.
2. Do what SC does and build nuclear power plants.
3. Destroy NOLA. All of it.

I'm Catholic, so I should care about others' interpretation of Christianity, since it's poisoning our national discourse. We should be worrying over serious theological questions of the nature of good, not pointless quibbles. Furthermore, I have several cousins in Peru who were tricked into converting to the American Baptist tradition. They're doctors and scientists, and they should not spread such falsehoods. American Protestantism can do better, and should, because they affect this country and others. Also, one of my cousin's died because her family is Jehovah's Witnesses and she declined a blood transfusion. That's why I care. These American protestants focus on the wrong issues, the pointless issues. Aren't those good reasons? Do you just not care about the direction of society? Seems irresponsible to not do anything.
>>
>>8775881
It literally doesnt bother me nor conflict. The extreme interpretations from both sides have little evidence to back their claims.

Im so happy to hear this good news of your cousins finally finding their calling in Christ. My science education has brought me so much closure to God to so i know their joy and peace.

>'cuz reasons

It's not simply 'cuz reasons. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. Furthermore, the acceptance of evolution does not require you to abandon faith in God. If your faith in God is contingent on a literal interpretation of a a small part of Genesis then it probably isn't a very strong faith anyways, built on sand instead of rock. Doesn't it strike you as a bit implausible that the interpretation of scripture of a few small denominations in the Southern united states is the only one that leads to salvation, when the majority of ancient churches (not just Catholicism, but the Eastern Orthodox churches and other Eastern churches as well) do not emphasize literal interpretation of Genesis as a requirement of salvation. This seems to be a weird trend in American Protestantism. I mentioned the Jehovah's witnesses earlier: they think that if you don't call God Jehovah and think that God died on a stake instead of a cross, then you don't get to go to heaven. Seems like they are obsessed with small trivial details instead of the important part: love of God, acceptance of Jesus' sacrifice, and following his message of humility, charity, and forgiveness. That's what it's all about, not fighting over small passages in the Old Testament.

Anyways, I gotta bounce. My master's thesis is not going to write itself. Peace.

That depends largely on what you define as 'science' and which religion you're talking about. Science is a method for examining data about the natural world. Most scientists don't use it in every aspect of their life, because there are other heuristics for making decisions and figuring things out in the varied situations we are faced with every day. If you are -to pick a random example- a practicing Stoic and believe that man's purpose is to be good, that doesn't mean your philosophy is incompatible with science because it's not possible to verify that the purpose of life is to be good using the scientific method, it just means that that particular philosophical question doesn't fall within the purview of science.

Not the best metric for an economic map of the US. Number of economically prosperous counties is going to be skewed by major cities and small areas with extremely lucrative industries (hence why Alaska, with its lucrative fishing and oil drilling communities is ranked higher than almost two-thirds of the US.

If you want a better idea of the economic state of the US, compare median income of the state to cost-of-living. There's still some skewing from major cities but it gives a much clearer picture of the economic well-being of different regions. Most of the South isn't fairing too bad with the notable exceptions of West Virginia (due to the collapse of the coal industry) and South Carolina (and to a lesser extent the states around the Mississippi delta).

The real surprise, though, is the Midwest and the Heartlands - with the exception of Montana there isn't a single state in the region where median income vs cost of living is below the national average.

How can two ideas as unrelated as religion and science, whose venn diagrams don't even intersect, be incompatible -or- demand that westerners abandon their primary cultural identity?

For such a drastic claim that is this cancerous, this fatal to the western worlds soul and reason d'etre... SURELY you have definitive proof of something right? Or is it how I suspect, the west should commit suicide and cease to exist, because reasons.

Are white atheists this insane? Please tell me youre just a muslim so your motive to destroy my homeland makes sense?

-walking on water
-turning water into wine
-rising from the dead
-genesis

Your claims that they lay in different domains only make sense when talking about very "enlightened" ideas about religion - i.e, religion as a path to spirituality, realizing the words written themselves are not intended to be taken literally and exist in a cultural context, but also realizing that the deeper meaning of the ideas themselves provide methods of making yourself and others a kinder, more compassionate, and happier human.

Essentially, it only works if you look at religion metaphorically as a way to be a "better human".

Religious fundamentalism and science are completely incompatible. Christian fundamentalism claims that the earth is 6000 years old, that there was a global flood, and other ideas that are not borne out by the scientific evidence.

you're just wasting your time arguing with a /pol/-type, religion to them is an ethno-cultural identity first and foremost

I think slavery disincentivized industrialization in the South, and having what are essentially African colonies will drag down overall economic indicators. Other than that based off median income at least you could only say that Southern Whites are 10% worse than Coastal New England whites. This might just be purchasing power parity not being taken into account or ports/centers of commerce/silicon meme valley bumping it up a bit.

Other than that sounds like you just dislike the people around you because they have a different opinion on things that don't really effect whether or not the trains run on time.
