So lets start a church and so we did. The story behind the Amalgamated Church of Dixie

Some day I'm going to write a book on all this, but on this early morning, I had a inquiry on where the Club stood on religion, and where the Amalgamated Church of Dixie started. The name came from one episode of the Dukes-of-Hazzard where this con man named Rayford Flicker, was peddling Bibles in the name of the Amalgamated Church of Dixie Charities. The object of course was to frame the Dukes and so on, however that wasn't the core of our agenda. In 2007 residing in Pocatello, that's in Idaho, after feeling rejected by all the upity stuck up LDS and other organized congregations in that area, the eastern Idaho Sub Charter got together for some Bible Study and so on, and one of the members suggested we start a church of mainly bikers, truckers and all around gearheaded redneck confederates. So how do we find a preacher? Found I could be a preacher by taking an online course so I did, and in the back of a aircraft hangar in American Falls Idaho, we started having weekend services. Once I had relocated to Twin Falls Idaho, and working for Charlie I went to many churches, but found many all to judgemental, so down at the rest area off of US 30 just outside of Hazzard, Idaho, the Knytes and WolfPack, began to meet on Saturday's sing hymns, preach the word, partake of the Lords supper, And so that goes.
After finding the warmth of some of the almighty church goers here and not many knowing of what scriptures they do read or why something is the way it is, rather than what it ought to be, and all the Knytes are considering having services on Saturday's out at Hazzard County Choppers , no fuss, no ties, fancy suits, or fronters , just praise Jesus, honor and learn Heavenly Fathers commands and all, sing a few hymns .
So that's that, on that. 
See ya'll at high noon on the radio.
