whats wrong with America?

Why are you so religious??

None of us european dudes are even close.
Why is religion such an integral part of your political culture guys...

Anyone got it sussed yet?

Why on earth, is it utilised as a vehicle for political division in your society?

In europe. Religion as an influence, is dead.
And I mean
Dead, and buried.

Anyone that combines religion and politics.
Is in a mad minority group.

So why is there so much effort in the US to convince us that it is mainstream?

Is your country the last bastion of the christian nutter?

I think, unfortunately, it will take a number of deaths more in line with what Europe has seen for America to wake up and realize the silliness of all this religion+war. We've been so guarded from the tragedies that happened years past in Europe that we can't even fathom all the pain that zealots can cause.

Eventually and sadly it will happen to us to, and then the masses may wake up.

But asking us to do so before that is a bit akin to telling a healthy teenager that their smoking habit will kill them someday. They'll look at you and say "I'm healthy now, so **** off."

When America brings death upon herself, we will change our tune. It happened in France, it happened in Germany, it happened in Japan. Please remember that we are no different, just younger as a society.

Don't worry Jack, I am clearly above people of your ilk so I won't stay. I just couldn't resist answering eek's inane query.

Let's not pretend that other places don't have their own problems...but america?

Two things: The idea that money can cure all ills and that everyone living outside american wants our help. (Our "white man's burden")
