You know, my sister is a Baptist. She lives in a $400,000 home (it would be worth a million in a city) drives SUVs (we have a big family).
She's been to Europe three times, her husband's entire family speaks Chinese because during the Vietnam War they moved to Taiwan in order to be there when he had weekend R&R. Her children are grown now, and lovely people who believe in the salvation of Jesus. One just finished her 3rd year of med school (Case University, Cleveland, OH), after attending school at Wheaton (Chicago) for 4 years. The kids have been to Europe once, and the medical student used to go to Taipai regularly, starting at age 9, by herself, to spend time with her cousin who was living there.
So spare me the bigoted assumption that all those who choose faith over a meaningless existence are backwards hicks, or that being devoted to your family means you're uneducated and untraveled.
