    Hey, I resemble those remarks. I'm a transplant though, originally from L.A. - Lower Alabama (Pandhandle of FL).

    I need to send this to my Mother & sister, who still live in Alabama. I appreciate these, even though I now live in Yankee territory (by necessity, not by choice).

    I'm a native Texan but my mother's side of the family are all from Alabama,Anniston to be exact.I haven't been there myself since 1980 when we took a trip to see the Talladega 500.I remember I stopped at a store and wanted to buy a 6 pack of beer to take into the race and the cooler door was padlocked.I told the gal it was after 12 and she asked where I was from and I told her,she promptly told me I would have to go back to Texas if I wanted a beer on Sunday.

    That's exactly what it is: "stupid Baptist law".Lack of common sense is one of the top reasons I converted from Baptist to Catholic.

    Walt, I felt the same as you until I actually learned about Catholicism. I was brought up the same way - "they worship idols". Not true. We worship God. We are Christians. Praying to a Saint is the same to us as Baptist's prayer lists. We feel the more you have praying for you, the better. We ask the Saints to pray to God for us the same as you ask your neighbor to pray for you. That, on top of our prayer lists. The more the merrier.

    simonbs..Brian,the problem with that is the catholic church has no buissiness deciding who is going to be a saint.When the bible refers to saints..they are simply refering to christians.Ya see,the term 'saint has been blown up into some unatainable(sp)position...by the catholic church..they had no bitness doin` that.Come on Brian..admit it..ya married a catholic girl..and she made ya do it.Still your friend,.218

    218 you're dead wrong. I convinced her that we should raise our children Catholic instead of Baptist.The politics of who does and who does not become a Saint does not concern me. What concerns me is the relationship between myself and the God that I worship. I will give my children the opportunity to have the same.Still your friend,Bryan.

    Hey guys. I'm an Alabama hunter here also. I live in North Ala, as opposed to LA.For you guys who are close to Aliceville, or the Corps of engineer land, take a look at my website, www.PublicHuntingLand.com. we post recent photos of live trophy animals taken on public land, along with the GPS coordinates of where each photo was taken. We got a 140+ class buck spotted on the Corps of Engineer land in Alabama. The photos are listed in the HOTSPOT section. Got some nice ones in Texas also. We give away a buckshot 35 infrared trail camera each month.
    keep on hunting
