I like the Pacific Northwest, It's Purty. But not as Purty as God's Country.

Everyone is comfortable where they live because they know it's strengths and flaws, no surprises. Tourism is about surprises, the more the better, new scenery, weather patterns, local customs, lots of stimulus. That's where the expression, "but it's good to be home" comes from. :)

Somebody should make a map to show where exactly God's Country is.

Yorkshire :P

God’s Own Country, is a phrase that was first used to describe the Wicklow Mountains and has subsequently been used to refer to several places, including Surrey, Australia, United States, New Zealand, Kerala state, Yorkshire,[1] Cornwall, Scotland and Wales. The phrase has been abbreviated to Godzone or less often Godzown.

Quote:

In the United Kingdom the phrase is commonly used by people to describe Yorkshire, England's largest county.[25][26][27] This is used interchangeably with God's Own County

Wasn't for some civilizations God's Country (or the equivalent) some place to stay the hell away from unless you're a powerful Shaman?

Polynesians, I think.

Not here.

No, really, no thanks.

Wow big V. That's pretty pathetic with the no-thanks. Total BS too. Sure fine if you want to discuss religion/no-religion but that's NOT what "Satan" stuff stands for.

BigV	03-31-2017 10:56 AM

Correct!

The SATAN part is just eye catching (and nose thumbing) marketing, just like GOOD NEWS is for the other clubs whose real agenda is proselytization. Just for humanists instead of christians.

The choice of name was deliberate to thumb their nose at the GNC clubs. The downside of the choice is the general public will react to Satan with strong opinions and gut feelings, further dividing the people and moving the divide down the age scale. Once people are turned off by the name they don't want to hear the details. If they had called it Science rather than Satan parents would have listened to the details. :(

"Science" wouldn't have worked; they wanted to use the "It's OK to have religious groups" loophole in an attempt to close the loophole. They're trying to harness that gut feeling to get the loophole closed, and themselves banned.

They could have used a parody religion, like Discordians or SubGenius, but that would require a lot more backstory in the local news. They could have used a real religion that the Christians might object to, but that would bring collateral damage on the actual members of that religion.
