Some Quotes:
A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.

All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors.

The torture of a bad conscience is the hell of a living soul.
I heard John Calvin wrote a book called Institutes of the Christian Religion.

John Peterson

A great war hero turned soldier of fortune, John Peterson was a strapping young soldier who took part in the Vietnam war. However, after becoming disillusioned with the war, he moved on to become a soldier of fortune, fighting as a mercenary for those who paid the highest sum. This took him on to numerous adventures all around the globe, so much so that he has become viewed as a 'Indiana Jones' type figure amongst those who know and know of him.

Standing at a towering 6'9 and weighing 293 pounds of pure solid muscle and 0% body fat, John Peterson is a sight to see. With his master-level elite skill in Mixed Martial Arts and statuesque Adonis like physique, he strikes immediate fear into the hearts of all his enemies, lust in the hearts of all women and envy in the hearts of all men. All the women wants him and all the men wants to be him. Oh yes, he is THAT, damn good.
women: "oh my, John Peterson is such a hunk!"

guys: "I so want to be like John Peterson! he is my idol!"

Johns Creek

A genuinely terrible Atlanta suburb that lacks any sense of community. Don't plan on driving anywhere in the afternoon because you'll literally be fucked by traffic. Everyone here is the same. They all wear indentical clothing, they all live in identical houses in identical neighborhoods, and they all drive identical cars. Teenagers have severe drug and alcohol problems because of a lack of anything exciting to do. Families move here for the school district, and when the kids graduate high school, they move away and never look back because nobody ACTUALLY wants to live in Johns Creek.
Person 1: "I grew up in Johns Creek."

Person 2: "I'm so sorry to hear that."

Person 1: "It's okay, after high school I got the fuck out of there and never looked back."
