I was browsing in a used book store this past weekend. A woman came in with a grocery bag full of paperbacks to turn in. She told the clerk that she couldn't read them anymore because she had just become a Christian. They were horror books.
Religion is a big thing here in the Charlotte area.
It seems like there's a church on every block. Even the strip malls have storefront churches, and one congregation meets in a local movie theater. People say grace in MacDonalds. The main highway from the airport into the city is the Billy Graham Parkway. I didn't ask that woman in the book store why she thought being a Christian meant she couldn't read horror books anymore.
