I looked back at my graduation class last year, and I realized something I didn't before.

>Top graduating student in my high school is great in the sciences, completely aces them, goes to UT Austin for chemistry
>Says he's of the pentecostal religion
>Pentecostal religion is one of the most conservative Christian religions in existence.

This sentence is so problematic, I wouldn't know where to begin to unfuck your mind.

Your prejudice is enormous. Huge, vast tracts of America contain an abundance of towns founded on Protestant beliefs and institutions. Those communities built wonderful Universities that educated the people that won world wars, fought disease, and put men on the moon, as well as built the systems that allow you to sit at your computer and feed your face.

In short, being a conservative Christian doesn't make one stupid or backward.

I've seen a miniature tornado form at a barbecue. And I mean it, first a low breeze started spinning dust at my feet, creating a horizontal funnel. Around two seconds later, one end of the funnel started rising and getting wider, while the other stayed near the ground and widened. The whole thing stood nearly still for around a second, and after another second disappeared. It was around a meter high.

Never said that conservative Christians are the most backward or stupid. It's just they don't believe in evolution and aren't too keen on science. I'm actually someone who was a former atheist; now believing in god, I just do not like the Pentecostal church because of how repressive it is in many manners. Quit your buthurt, bro.
