The loudest thing about the Methodist church in the town I grew up in was the red color on the front doors. I think a lot of people forgot they were even there - in my elementary school, kids would ask "are you Catholic or Jewish?"

I hate to be a grammar nerd, and goodness knows I'm not entirely fluent in Southern, so I could easily be wrong, but in this context, wouldn't the correct usage be "If'n," as in "Alabama Church Will Give You Shootin’ Lessons If'n You Give Your Heart To Jesus"?

"Who's to say that church can't happen right here?" Um, that would be JESUS CHRIST THE LORD THY GOD, that's who.

The autopsy was on the victim, based on teeth marks from the bear. And the bear had cached body parts for later eating.

this is kinda how the police work in our country - shoot, then ask questions, and oh, maybe an "autopsy". Not really OT if you replace "bear" with "POC"
