Unfortunately, I have had people tell me that if I don't become a "good Christian" then I will never be welcome here.
I've had people order me to destroy my animals, because they don't like animals.
In other words, if that's what you call "Texas culture", then the "culture" of Texas can kiss my pale white behind.
At least in California people didn't go into shock when I told them I was Buddhist. No one ever called me a "slut" because I was wearing some lip gloss (until I moved here). No one made a fuss because I don't say the standard pledge to the flag .... here, they want me to say one to the state flag .... no, I'm serious .... And, I've never heard anyone from the California schools talking about taking "intelligent design" seriously.
I'm in the wrong state. I never ever should have moved to Texas. People warned me that the people in this part of the world would not take kindly to someone like me coming here .... and damned if they weren't right.

Take the money and RUN! You don't need the aggravation.
This could be a roundabout good thing.....
