To summarize the posts. The primary message is; if you are not religious, shut the F*** up or get out of Kentucky! At the same time the Kentuckians will pat themselves on the back for being open minded.
There are 4 things Kentuckians care about: 1. Football, 2. basketball, 3. guns, 4. Jesus.
I don't think beilart lives in Ky just yet. Also, I think basketball should be 1st on the list .

You are a great summarizer. Your list is just amazing and so true.

This is fun! But, oh dear, I am not athletic at all. And with the agnostic thing, well, three out of four ain't good....But hey, I'm a hell of a shot with a .22 as well as a shotgun, so maybe I can find SOME common ground with SOMEbody!

And don't worry, gecarson. I'll bloom wherever I need to. Maybe in your town? You'll know me by my acts: I'll be the one acting most like a Christian. By the way, not sure how this conversation could be considered esoteric OR philosophical.

Certainly, each Kentuckian can organize these four things according to personal priorities.

Three out of four is better than zero out of four, which is my score. Not into sports, church, or guns. Why do I even live here??? Oh, yeah, I was born here!

Not worried at all - esoteric and philosophical to the degree that "I just don't get it" - meaning the depth of your posts are just way over a poor old Kentuckian's ability to grasp. I'll have to read up on how a Christian is supposed to act so I'll be on the alert. I sure hope they don't act like militant agnostics.

Thanks! My family believes basketball rules, so that's number one for them. Good list.

Kentucky is starting to sound a LOT like Texas...

nokygirl, if I move to Kentucky (after I pack my agnostic military-style uniform), I'll look you up. You show me around, and I'll show you how to blow big holes in old television sets. You'll never go back to a life without shotguns. (Sorry, hope you're picking up on the humor...SOME people just don't get it.)

Okay, it's a deal. I used to shoot all the time when I was younger. We would all get together and go to the turkey shoots. I was also trained to use a handgun as personal weapon by my father when I lived at home. My husband still hunts, but it's mostly bow and arrow. But blowing big holes in old TV sets sounds like a wonderful way to relieve stress and have a good old time. I'm giggling right now just picturing it .
