Tennessee could be a southern Vermont/Maine/New Hampshire if not for our political environment. The same chain of mountains that ties us all together and they are spectacular. This is one of the greenest states with amazing natural spaces.

I dont need full on tree hugging collectivism, I want us to respect women, respect individuals, support the impoverished, o wait do the basic things Jesus said to do in the bible.

I know most christians do a mix of cherry-picking and complete fabrication (what portion of christians do you think confuse dante's inferno and paradise loss with the bible?). It'd be nice if they cherry-picked the Mark 10:21

Jesus looked at him and loved him. He told him, “You’re still missing one thing. Sell everything you have. Give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then follow me!”

or the Matthew 25:40-46

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

But mostly they just use it as an excuse to be jerks. It's a big book with ample support for that, but they could choose the nice parts.

I drove through TN yesterday and was blown away with how beautiful it was.
