I realise that so many christians in America can barely fathom a world outside of their own community, never mind their nations borders.
There is a growing global discontent at the arrogance, self serving, ill informed, in denial, scientifically illiterate dialogue that America communicates to the rest of the world, and it is nearly always full of religious, particularly christian rhetoric..
"May god [selectively] bless America" etc

America is but a pup compared to the rest of the world, with fat creationists types being easily manipulated as a political power base, under the guise of "freedom" or "democracy".

The [religious] American military is considered a fumbling mass of badly trained, lower socio-economic cannon fodder, who are frighteningly consitant with "friendly fire" incidents, and no other countries like to work beside them.

The whole world views this with distaste, like they've just sucked on a lemon. Are christians, particularly creationists even aware of this?

Something just occurred to me. Is trusting the allegedly God-inspired Bible to tell us the truth about God and Satan akin to trusting Fox News to tell the truth about an election?

(John Ellis, first cousin of President Bush, recommended the channel declare the first Bush victory before it was a fact. Which of course was the only way to do it, since he didn't technically win the election in the traditional sense)

Since you think that you're so perfect and believe that everybody's wrong and you're 100% right and you also want to destroy religions, and make the world an Atheist.

That is some God-type stuff.

I would rather be a terrorist than being an Atheist.

For the record, Einstein did NOT believe in god..
There are NO fossil footprints showing humans and dinosaurs co existed.
Science is NOT a religion.
The many various and independant dating methods are NOT all flawed, and in fact they all corroborate each other.
Carbon dating does NOT describe any dates of millions of years ago.
Faith is NOT proof.
Evidence is NOT faith.
Science does NOT try to disprove the existance of god.
Mainstream scientific principles, understandings and descriptions of the natural world do NOT consider or speak of any religion.
A "scientific theory" IS different from a "guessing theory", and scientists do NOT express reservations about its truth when discussing ANY "scientific theory".
America was NOT founded on christianity, far from it.
There are MANY different transitional fossils of many species, including human evolution.

There is so much more reality for the christians, particularly creationists, to deny or misrepresent, but why..?

Christians and muslims are dumb because they base their belief on faith, which means, do not question , just follow what is written in the book . The church and mullahs has to say that because otherwise, the Bible or the koran becomes a crock, with many inconsistencies and many things that simply do not make sense.

So they stay dumb and traditional for another couple of years?

Many today do not realize that the knowledge of the true God and true Christianity, which Paul brought to Greece and Rome, was soon corrupted with a mixture of pagan religious ideas. As Roman Catholic historian Will Durant writes: "Christianity did not destroy paganism; it adopted it." The form of Christianity that developed in Europe and later spread to America and the rest of the world "was the last great creation of the ancient pagan world" (Caesar and Christ, Durant, 1944, p. 595). Durant and other historians explain that belief in the one true God became belief in a Trinity as a result of the influence of pagan philosophy. They note that perverted Gnostic ideas "obscured the Christian creed" and that theologians schooled in pagan philosophy tried to explain the nature of God through speculation instead of teaching what God had revealed about Himself in Scripture. After centuries of such discussion and debate,

so why is Jesus the only God you seem to persecute? What about Allah...Budah...Christna? All I hear is you speaking agaisnt Christianity. This could only mean one thing...atheism is infact built around hate...or Jesus is the one and true God and you are being used to pull that truth from others. I mean...if you want proof...look at atheist comments on here and around the world. All they ever talk about is the Christian beliefs and Jesus!?!

It is every where,
all at once.
Round and bright,
I claim it as a family crest.
O` sons and daughters,
of a noble family,
what do you claim?
Claim what is yours,
give up the things,
that must be paid for,
with your freedom.
See with your own eyes,
hear with your own ears,
and taste with your own mouth.
Beautiful, you are,
and finally the silence is heard,
and the sweetness;
is almost to much,
almost.
**********
Fortunate ones, how does the rising and falling of life look from where your at?
Thank you and please remember I'm only a coyote.
