#1 Well, uh, it does seem to be that way - but the Muslims more frequently cast it in that light than we do. They think we're a Christian nation, influenced by the Zionist(TM) Jooos, and that we're the Great Satan. They're free to say that . . .

I'm of a mixed mind as to whether we should have the same viewpoint, though. There's a religious undertone to this, from both our history (as a nation founded on Judeo-Christian principles) and the language of our enemies, and said Judeo-Christian background gives us a good moral basis, but the fight's bigger than that . . . it's Western civilization versus an aggressive seventh century religion suffering from multiple complexes, with a~~n un~~healthy smattering of useful idiots and fifth columnists who want the West to embrace what in essence would be its own destruction in the name of multiculturalism thrown in to boot.

Ack, I'm going off on all sorts of random ramblings today. Time to kick myself and get some morning tea, I think . . .

#2 well..as I ranted yesterday, I think it's time western people stopped being so terrified of being accused of proselytizing anytime they point out this obvious fact: The moral aspect of Western Civilization is based on Judeo/Christian values. It's not the other way around. It's the values of faith, hope, charity, forgiveness that were drilled into us as children that makes up the underpinnings of this country great. These are not values that are genetically passed down like the ability to suck on a bottle. They are learned traits. I've worked with Muslim children and they don't grasp these ideas unless they are of Christian heritage.

Are they any different than us physically? No. Am I saying they are incapable of learning these values? No. I'm just saying they are taught to value completely different things. We learned to value these traits because our parents dragged us to Sunday school or otherwise taught us to vaule them.

You don't have to be a holy roller to grasp this concept. Nor should we be afraid to admit it.

#3 Your posts yesterday and today totally rock, B! At least someone has the guts to state the obvious.

The fact of the stability/values of our country CAN and SHOULD be traced to the origins and roots of said stability/values. In the post-modern/post-Christian age, it's incredibly important to have some understanding of this--so that we don't go off trying to reinvent the philiosophical/societal/spiritual "wheel."

Additionally, I find it quite interesting that the people who personally hold to the last vestiges of the values based on the (true) Christian faith (as opposed to religiosity, which actually gave rise to the current LLL), don't have a clue as to where the "trickle down" came from in the first place. And it's even more interesting that the LLL hates the Christians--mostly because of the charlatans masquerading as such, but sometimes because the real ones call them to accountability. They don't like that at all.

If one looks at the tenets and structures--comparing Islam and Christianity--well, it's no contest. Thanks again..

#4 thanks ex-lib!

so true! They also hate all Christians because Christians are all so intolerant and bigoted. :-)
