"Army Disinvites Graham to Prayer Service"

Sorry Diest are not Christians and do not believe in God the same as Christians do. No matter how many times or how long Christians want to lie and say this county was founded on Christianity it is still a lie.

 

I've always looked at the fanatics of the Muslim faith, Left wing faith, and right wing faith, as basically, the same. There's not a whole lot of reasoning attached to any of them.

Oy Vey!

 

This is going off my memory but I believe Hitler said in Mein Kampf that he was Christian but then declared Nazism the religion of Germany and then replaced all the bibles in the schools with Mein Kampf. Not sure what that shows.

 

This country was founded primarily by people who professed to be Christians (in word and deed, politically). So far, despite it's flaws it has turned out pretty well. It was designed by these founders specifically to be oriented toward Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness and on the belief (assumption if you like) that we are endowed by our Creator with rights to pursue those things.

There are a few other civilizations founded on ideals vs. language/culture/borders, and several forms of government based strictly on belief: Communism, Socialism, Fundamental Islam.

Can anyone name one of those others that has produced the quality of life this one has? Or one that has benefited the entire planet the way this one has?

Those who constantly criticize this country forget where the planet would be without us: Europe would be split between Moscow/Communist and Berlin/Nazi Fascist, China would have no one to buy their stuff, Africa would be starving and even more overrun with disease than it is.

We are not evil as a country. We are not imperialists. We do way more good than harm. What other country or political philosophy can say that?

 

I'm confused by one of the statements? When did the Muslim religion become our enemy. I wasn't aware that the Muslim religions was who we are fighting and who has blown up our men.

 

There it is again, the lie that never goes away. Most of the founding fathers of this country were diest, which are not Christian, at least not in the way you are saying they were Christian.

Diest do believe there is a creator, but they also believe this creator does not care or intervene in our day to day lives. IIRC they don't even believe in heaven or hell.

 

I know this will come to you as a shock but there are people in other countries who are very happy with the quality of their life and don't envy anyone else. Furthermore, there are tens of millions of Americans who may not share your views on what quality of life means. It all depends on who you're asking.

 

I dunno, man. Take a rich communist and a homeless Christian and ask both of them.

 

Yes it was. They were Christians that did not believe the same as England and its king did. This is one of the basic reasons they left England so they could escape the views of the church.

 

This is true. One thing our country fails to do is take care of its own before rushing off to help someone half a world away.

I would love an example of those people in those countries who are happy. No argument and I am sure there are people out there but I wonder how large a group and the percentage of the people in those countries we are talking about

 

Whatever dude. Hitler was no Christian and A christian that wanted to destroy all Israelis would be a fool since they are the chosen people of God

 

You need to travel a bit... Look up 'Happiest Citizen'. You'll find out about Denmark.

 

That was going to be my suggestion as well.

 

Ya might want to see this link for an accurate counting of the religion of our founders.
