I am hoping to put down politics for a day and reflect what America truly is, the greatest nation in the world.

God Bless America and a happy and healthy Independence Day to you and yours!

We are superior in every way - amongst men and in nature.

We invented everything from cars to light bulbs to space travel to the Internet to democracy. Nothing was invented by non-Americans.

We single-handedly freed the hapless world from the Nazis and the communists.

We make all of the world's music, books, TV, and movies.

We are the only country with major professional sports - football, basketball, baseball.

America is the only country that has all of the world's climates from the tropics to the Arctic.

We have more thunderstorms and tornadoes than all other countries combined.

We hold all of the world's weather records - heaviest snow, rain, strongest wind, hottest and coldest temperatures.

We have the world's largest military and economy. Any other big militaries in the world are completely dependent on America for their technology and leadership. Any other big economies (Japan, Europe) in the world were single-handedly built by Americans from scratch.

I am an atheist currently investigating taoism. So far i have really liked what i have read and find it to be a spiritually sound following. (and i get to still be an atheist). Are their any other Taoists out there? How has it changed your life.

Then why are not people living in fear of it?

My reason is because it is a false doctrine and not spiritually built in to people.
I know athiests will chime "there is no hell"

Mark 7:25-28

The Syrophoenician Woman's Faith. Soon a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him. She came and fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter. He said to her, "Let the children be fed first. For it is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs." She replied and said to him, "Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's scraps."
------
From what I get, Jesus is calling this woman a dog. And her response is that she says, "I may be a dog, but being a dog just give me some crumbs from what you give others." I don't understand why Jesus who loves everyone would call this woman a dog. And why Jesus tells her that her acknowledging that she is a dog is the right answer.

they are either fabricated, taken out of context, or so old that they are hardly relevant today?

I'm sure many of them are simply parroting what they've been told or copy/pasting from the multitude of creationist websites out there... but someone, somewhere down the line, was practicing willful deception.

Tribal Africans did not know of a God. Did they have one or were they free of all godlike entities? Only white people taught about Jesus. They enslaved them too. When Africans were free, why didnt they return to Africa or at least the beliefs that went before.

I find it astonishing that the newer generations cling to Christianity, after all their forebears went through. Why dont they go back to their homeland and re-establish themselves....with their newfound knowledge and technology. They arent poor now....so why dont they go home and help their own people that really need it?

It seems like they shut their eyes to the requests on TV for monetary help for starving children. I have never heard of an African American donating anything or adopting African children...do they not care or are they repulsed by their own race now? With so many Africans doing so well overseas....how come they arent creating large adoptive families to protect their own links?

Do you like the word partner?? I hate that term, I will only use the words boyfriend and husband. I don't know why I hate it, I don't feel inferior or discriminated against, I just don't like the term. What are your opinions on it?

you were doing last 4th of July, or how long or short it has been since Christmas? Christmas seems like a decade away when the 4th of July rolls around. It doesn't seem like the two holidays could be in the same year. It get dark in Oregon around 5 PM during Christmas time and now it is still light at 9 PM. I tend to measure time as to how it happens to fall between one major holiday and the next, like Arbor Day and Columbus Day.

Timothy 2:15 states: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
Also in 1 Peter 3:15-17 states: "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing."
And finally in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

If we are not doing this, then how can we be effective in preaching, teaching and defending our faith?

and other prophets and historic personalities and what they said and when and why;when not even one person on 4 July 2007 can claim to know who exactly was his ancestor at that point in time in history,where they were, what their faith was?Why do people take such a myopic view of history and narrow view of faith and behave like dogs,kill each other in the name of poor God.When they can't trace their own ancestors beyond 7 generations.I'm sure most of them don't know the names of their own great grandfathers where and how they lived.Which tribe they were.It's a different matter there are so many who don't know about their biological father and are utterly lost on Father's day weekend.but every one knows about God and the man who preached about GOD more than God and the preacher themselves.and are willing to bomb to prove what they know,what they believe.CRANKS.
