Try living in the Bible Belt.

A local baptist church had a 'study program' for a month that was entitled 'science versus creationism.....a scientific look at the bible'. I'm sure the info there was some nobel prize winning material. I was at the coaches meeting for my son's baseball league. I got to hear a group of coaches talk about this *study* with such gems as 'I want to go there and get my kids involved. These public schools are filling their minds with garbage.'

The people have had this stuff pounded into their head since birth, and they just can't fathom any other beliefs.

I have very few confrontations over this subject matter because I avoid them. However, one time I got into a discussion with a group of people about a local gentleman who was convicted of some pretty bad behavior and serving jail time. Personally, i've never had more than a speeding ticket, and these people knew that. Their conclusion was that, in the end, he was a better person than me because he was 'saved' and i wasn't.
