Re: Where have All the REAL Christians Gone?

It seems you are making up things I am not actually writing.

Not intentionally. Maybe I am reading too far into what you are writing, or we are speaking past one another.

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Re: Where have All the REAL Americans Gone?

Yep. Gun totin, bible bashin, inbred rednecks who live on coke and McKingBurgers, drive huge gas guzzlin cars, wear bad fitting Hawain shirts and carry overly expensive cameras around as you make your brash, loudmouthed and ill tempered one time trip out of the US.

I'm fully aware of that. I was more questioning the religious aspect: are we viewed as being predominently christian, trying to push christianity on the world?

I know all too well that Americans are seen as loudmouth hicks. When I was in Germany, I could always tell which bars had Americans: they were the loudest,most rowdy.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Re: Where have All the REAL Christians Gone?

This law was encouraged by American Congressmen who are members of "The Family," a conservative fundamentalist Christian organization.

I just read the article the other day.

The visitors discussed how to make gay people straight, how gay men often sodomized teenage boys and how the gay movement is an evil institution whose goal is to defeat the marriage-based society and replace it with a culture of sexual promiscuity.

now THAT i shate speech.

Media isn't ALWAYS evil

I just saw this video of Anderson Cooper. I, personally, take no party lines and don't really care to know which news station is leaning to which side (other than Fox, which I know is red). He steps aside from being a journalist to help this kid out.
