South Africa 56
I had no idea we would be so high up on the list.
I do know that people can get very serious about religiom here though, I was nearly expelled from high school because I was playing a computer game called Dragon Strike. Basically a flight simulator where you were flying dragons instead of planes.
I got lectures and pamphlets about how this stuff was evil, the same as AD & D, you know, that game that brain washes you into believing you are your character, etc. Anyway, if it wasn't for the fact that I was heavily involved in my church at the time, and training to become a youth minister they would have expelled me. I wonder what they would think if they knew that this incident started a the chain of events that lead to me becoming an atheist?
Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in
this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely
conceives it, wants it, and loves it.
