Slowly but surely this great nation founded on the blood of others will slowly strangle itself. Brother will turn against brother and the end will come about in the name of an invention called simply: God.

Islamic and Christian fundamentalists have more in common than either of them recognise, I often wonder if every single member of both churches knew they were praying to the same God, if it would help.
But actual fundamentalists are far fewer than we are led to believe from the current media. It's the most cartoony acting ones who get the press, because they sell papers, but the majority of Christian are not fundamentalists, then there are members of other religions here as well as people who do not belong to a religous organisation. I have no data at all, but it may be that actual fundamentalists represent only about 10 or 15% of our total population, so I can see where the rest of the country could become upset that those few people are going to pass laws to further their personal beliefs and impose them upon a population who doesn't necessarily agree. Yeah, I think the fighting will get bad soon.
That being said, maybe when we're all Chinese citizens because bush put us in such a horrible debt that they are smart enough to CAPITALISE on the opportunity, all religion will be outlawed- oh delicious irony!

since when have the religious ever felt the need to understand anything in order to use it as an excuse for killing people?Originally posted by smallman@Jul 28 2005, 04:20 AM
yeah except most people, even in the US, are only nominally religious. they may still be stupid fucktards that don't except evolution, but they aren't dogmatic enough to understand, much less fight, over their differences.[post=332356]Quoted post[/post]

Maybe you can go live in China since you don't want to practice organized religion, but there are plenty of people who still want to do so and will continue to do so.

But you still favor terrorist tactics. Notice gaybashing. Notice bombing abortion clinics.
As for your "go to China" comment, if you want a theocracy, you can move to Iran any time.
