Bible bashing dying out in Kansas
By Justin Webb
BBC News, Washington

There is an American expression for something that is utterly obvious but not, for some reason, noticed.

"Hiding in plain sight", the Americans call it, and the expression came to my mind as I sat in Kansas City airport waiting for an ice storm to pass.

Hiding in plain sight in this state is a revolution in American Christendom, a change of heart that could see American Protestant churches looking increasingly like their European equivalents.

--snip--

Hidden in plain sight this Christmas, is the softening of evangelical America.

1. I think if I actually drove past a funeral being assailed w/these "God hates fags" slogan chanters..
I'd be inclined to grab a louisville slugger and wade into the rotten lot of em.

2. Now, now...A ball bat should never be used to hit people you dont agree with
Use a pool cue, it increases swing speed and narrows the area of impact.
