I live in Tulsa and work at a small college there. Not all of us are like what you ran into and experienced. Yes there is a lot of so called religion here. But please don't bad mouth a whole town because of one bad apple. We're not all rotten you know. I do not believe in any organized religion, but I don't think that makes me a bad person. I've lived in Tulsa for 20 some years(before that I lived in many different states all over the US) If I run into any who tries to push there religious views on me (this can happen any where), I tell I am a Druid and I worship trees. This usually shuts them up. Most of them aren't sure what a Druid is. They usually don't bring the subject up agin. I am sorry that you had a bad time here. But please don't give the impression that all of Oklahoma is this way. A Happy tranplanted Tulsan, Erin >In College, in a small school in Tulsa, OK.
