A school district in scandinavia has to shut down this week because one of the leaders is part of ISIS and abusive radicalization of kids. [Spirituality & Religion]

@Entwistle Christianity made Scandinavia the happiest most loving and tolerant most prosperous countries in the world. Jesus taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who despitefully use us. Hate is not tolerated in Scandinavia! So the schools had to shut down because of hate was taught to kids.

@Carazaa So why hasn't Christianity made other countries so happy?

@Entwistle
year 1100 Scandinavian Viking kings were born again and really poured out love to the people and taught the values in the Bible to love their neighbor and turn the other cheek instead of retaliate.

The Kings built a church in every town and paid for a pastor to knock on every door to help each family out and teach people to love each other. The kings influenced everyone to convert and become loving.

In many other countries there is a mix of christianity and their native religion, like in Africa, and Mexico they still practice witchcraft which leads to wanting to hurt enemies instead of loving them. and then there are churches that say they follow the Bible but its not following Jesus at all in many countries, they follow the Pope, or Mary, or St Francis, not Jesus.

@Entwistle As long as yours are taught about Judaism, why not?

@Emosaur The Governments are christian and have state churches based on Christ teachings treating others the way you want to be treated and Bible lessons in public schools every morning for 500 years. Thats why they had low crime, and happy prosperous people.

Like in the predominately christian USA?

@WalterCrunkRight No religion should be taught in schools of foisted upon adults.

@Lynda70[big][b] Does the USA have a state church, public school prayers and Bible reading? NO[/b][/big]

@Carazaa Well the president and other government officers are sworn in on the christian bible; their money has "in god we trust" printed on it; a significant proportion of the population is christ. That should be good enough.

Perhaps you prefer the UK. We have a state church, headed by our Head of State, with its own, unelected, representaives in Parliament. Out state schools are required by law to hold daily Christian religious assemblies of all the students and to teach "religion", giving emphasis to Christianity. I suppose that's why crime is almost non-existant here with only had a few children murdered in the last few weeks. :(

@Entwistle You’re entitled to your opinion.

@Emosaur I bet you’re a riot at parties.

@Entwistle They have been taught the Bible in public schools every morning for over 500 years until about year 2000 AD.
