If the U.S. was founded on Christian morals, why do they complain about the liberties afforded to the rest of?

Question

us, that don't effect them? Is this question in the right section?

Blue laws, anti-abortion laws, anti Gay marriage laws, laws to stop or limit stem cell research... etc.

Apparantly some English classes are necessary as well. "They" when used directly after an adjective describing a specific group reverts to the noun form of the adjective.

Answer 1

Yeah, kinda gonna have to agree with the others. I kinda get where you're going with this question but I don't quite 'get' the whole thing, not enough to answer it at least.

Sorry guy. Can you re-ask and rephrase it?

Answer 2

I love it when people say that this country was founded on christian morals! It just makes my points for me - annhilation and holocaust of the native americans, slavery, political sabotage, corrupt government, secret class society, sexism, homophobia and racism. Moral laws (laws based on moral concepts instead of laws based on the harming of others) are ridiculous. Ethical laws make a heck of a lot more sense.

Some christians, not all but some, have a desire to see their religion as the only one. I find this the highest level of ignorance, equatable with the way the soviet union was during the cold war when having a bible was illegal. Two opposites that are really part of the same extreme.

Next time you vote, keep this in mind. Our president is a fundamentalist christian.

Why do they complain? Because it's easier to remain ignorant than to see another's personal belief as a right. It's easier to create a false illusion about other religions than to accept the fact that maybe the path you took is nothing but another path. Christians that complain about other religions are lazy, misinformed and a waste of time.

Answer 3

Yes, it's in the right section. Cause, dammit, you're not allowed to do that stuff either! It's like a kid whose parents tell him he's not allowed to go to the park... the kid then tells all of his friends that no one is allowed to go to the park, so he doesn't feel left out of the "fun". Or maybe they are that forgetful and need constant reminding of the things they are or are not allowed to do? But I really think it's the fact that so many of them enjoy having "Authority" (real or imagined) over other people and will do anything they can to fuc.k up other people.

Answer 4

You live under the rules of the nation live in. Disagreeing with them makes not difference. Morality is legislated into law law so that it can be enforced. If there is no moral code within the legal system, then anarchy exists. The reality of the human race is that morality must be forced upon all of because of our temptation to do what we want. Civilization must have rules in order to exist, otherwise we are nothing more than cave people defending a piece of turf.

Answer 5

Christian morals?? Honestly, getting down to the mere basics of it, there are the 10 commandments. I mean who exactly would the 10 commandments NOT apply to?? Think about it... Then again if you don't believe in God, then I guess it would not be a big deal for you anyway...

Answer 6

because Christian morals are very prescriptive, lots of thou shalt nots and so forth.

And although the US was founded on morals based on those of the Judeo-Christian tradition it was expressly not founded on one faith alone. That was rather the point.

Answer 7

Because back then they were self-righteous, self-serving closed-minded egotists. They didn't believe any other religion could ever grow to the proportions we have in the "new world".

Answer 8

I'm too amused by the fact that the nutters can not comprehend the question to be able to answer.

Answer 9

I don't know but the U.S. is the best country in the world. I hate those gosh darn british people. We should take their country over, but first, WE CRUSADE IN FRANCE!

Answer 10

I imagine it depends on what liberties you are discussing and just how far they encroach on the rights of the rest of us.
