More AWE Questions ...
1) Are democracy and religion even CLOSE to being compatible? (I'm talking religion here folks, not GOD.)
2) Are Americans doomed to perpetual schizophrenia caused by the supposed bottom-up structure of democracy and the de facto top-down structure of religion?
3) Is our next step Biblical (Shari'a) law? i.e., after the Republican candidates stop sputtering about how pious they are.
4) Whose version of the Bible are we going to adopt, yours or mine?
5) What makes you think the upcoming war between Catholics, Protestants and Evangelicals is going to be any more light-hearted than the war between Sunnis and Shias?

1.Well the proof of the pudding is in the taste....name one other country in the world that has done better...than the US...over the last 200 year period....all the while having a democracy made up in the majority of religious people.
2. It would help if you spoke in english....and made the question in the form of a question...rather than an opinion...unanswerable...do to the nature of an opinionated querry.
3.Only if we stop the concept of a democratic republic form being practiced....and replaced with Social/Communism..as is the lefts agenda.
4. The author of the scriptures
5. Nice try...of using the old....divide and conquer tactic of progressive secular reasoning....by paring of someone you presume as a threat..against one another. BD

"Well the proof of the pudding is in the taste....name one other country in the world that has done better...than the US...over the last 200 year period....all the while having a democracy made up in the majority of religious people."
>>>Whether or not America has done well is ridiculously irrelevent. Cavemen could have done well with the resources this country has.
2. It would help if you spoke in english....and made the question in the form of a question...rather than an opinion...unanswerable...do to the nature of an opinionated querry.
>>>It was a SIMPLE question. Are Americans doomed to perpetual schizophrenia caused by bottom-up democracy and top-down religion?
3.Only if we stop the concept of a democratic republic form being practiced....and replaced with Social/Communism..as is the lefts agenda. >>>Comparing "democratic republic" and "social communism" is like comparing apples and gamma rays.
4. The author of the scriptures
>>>Huh?
5. Nice try...of using the old....divide and conquer tactic of progressive secular reasoning....by paring of someone you presume as a threat..against one another. BD
>>>Everybody is a potential threat, Dude. If you don't think Christians can get pissed at each other, you don't know your Western Civ.
