I have never brought my religion into any thread.
If I am asked, I will tell. |

That's the point. Who or what defines what "good people" are? Your cultural inculcation, of course!
It has been proven time and time again down the ages that as the tender twig is inculcated, so grows the national tree.
That is why otherwise sane Germans could cheerfully push Jews into gas chambers, and how American's have been trained like Pavlov's dogs to salivate at the mouth at the very thought of killing Christ-denyin' Communists - "IN G-E-E-ZUS' HOLY NAME!!" - of course!

They really think that the way they think is no different to any of the other "Christian" nations. Which is why they are actually shocked to their socks when another "Christian" ally wont be a part of their latest coalition to kick the cunt outta some defenceless Liliputian nation.

I know that. But until Americans stop conveniently treating everyone else (insert any of few score of nationalities here) as the same "evil" "t-u-urusts," "C-a-a-rmmunists" Mad Mullahs, etc, I will continue to lump y'all in with your ruling Protestant elite and their cannon-fodder Fundies! 
No shut up willya, I wanna watch the football!

Pfffttt...I don't even shut up for my husband for football or basketball season.
Anyway, all Americans can't be clumped together as one. Misconceptions. |
