Why do you think the Americans are so bloody religious? [Spirituality & Religion]

@GailCob Nothing says "greatest country in the world" like lunch debt, preventing kids from graduating!! 🤷‍♀️

@Harriet03 And kids shooting each other up at school bahahaha!!!

@GailCob Nah that's not America, I think you're thinking of Norway.

@Reverend It's not the movies it's the interesting history. My country's history is VERY boring. The worst we head was a little uprising where a few buggers were shot and some Chinese killed during the gold rush. That and a few shot natives.

@Allelse I think I'd rather have it boring. America will always have problems because we can't keep our nose at home where it belongs. Anytime something breaks out we have to go to it.

@Reverend Oh me too!! Believe me I like a boring history for my country, it means less hoo hah in the future. And even those few natives I mentioned who were shot, folk still cop hell for, when really it was just one of those things, much like with your Indians. When you bung two people together who have been separated by geography for a VERY long time, well it's inevitably going to lead to trouble. And while the early government did their best, they still referred to the natives as fauna.

And as for Americans sticking their noses about the world, well, I think it's just a part of society. The Americans as a people and a nation are new and they're stretching their legs, there was a time when it was the Spanish and the Portuguese, then the French and then the British then the Germans. A power, a force comes along and has a nosy about the place but it usually leads to more trouble. Like with the Muslims, the America psyche will never understand the psyche of the Middle East and vice versa; so I think its a good rule to keep them both as far away from each other as possible. But then you bung a few billion liters of oil out in the desert, and suddenly this new power, force or whatever thinks. Well, maybe I'll stick my nose in after all and that's fair enough, the poor trodden on Iraqis, were they still the great Assyrian empire of old and the Americans just a small Germanic tribe roaming about in Germany would be beaten aside in no time too had the tables been reversed.

@St0ut Evidence!!

@Harriet03 that’s your path.

@St0ut Call me old fashioned!! 🤷‍♀️

It's the truth. Don't talk about God and religion unless you know what you're talking about.

@GodSpeed63 They are the same thing you moron, you are religious.

@Allelse [quote]They are the same thing you moron, you are religious.[/quote]

Call me anything you like but I know who I am in Christ and man made religion has nothing to do with it.

@Allelse You and your failing IQ test.

@hippyjoe1955 Are you gonna go on about the string theory again?

@Allelse It would be a waste of time since I don't accept it and you don't understand it.
