Answer 1

LOL! I'm Dutch, I sorta feel the same. Now try and explain why Norway has such low murder rates, low rape rates and low abortion rates, please.

Answer 2

Um, srprimeaux, dude, you missed some important statistics due to not actually reading the Wikipedia article you posted.

"Although 86% of the Norwegian population belongs to the state church, only 10% attend church services or other religious meetings more than once a month. Baptism of newborns fell from 96.8% in 1960 to 81.2% in 1999. An average of 70% of young people enter into Confirmation.[1]

It has recently been revealed that due to a poor quality of the membership register, around 75,000 Norwegians who are members of other religious or humanist organisations have wrongfully been registered as members of the church. [2] An equally large number of persons who are not members of any faith-based organisation might also be registered as members of the church without their knowledge, as a result the official membership numbers are slightly inflated compared to the real figures. [3] Although there is no indication that this has been a conscious policy of the church, the inaccurate membership register has led to the church possibly receiving unlawfully hundreds of millions of Norwegian Crowns (NOK) over the last decade, as the Norwegian state contributes between 500 and 600 NOK to religious and humanist organisations for each registered member. Naturally, this has led to stark criticism from organisations that might have lost income due to the inaccuracy of the membership register of the Norwegian church. ...

In 2004 a survey conducted by Opinion AS showed that only 47% of the responders actually considered themselves Christians, while 49% did not consider themselves Christians. [4] Another survey conducted by Gallup International in 65 countries in 2005 found that Norway was the least religious among the Western countries surveyed, only 36% of the population considered themselves religious. However, only 9% explicitly stated that they were atheists, while the biggest group, 46%, were those that considered themselves neither religious nor atheists. [5]"

That's no 86 percent.

Answer 3

You get out !! Just who do you think you are to de-grade Norway ? I am ashamed of you. Christianity came to Norway and it is still here. You are a disgrace and do not deserve to be called a Norwegian. Christianity is in Norway. You are telling a false tale, you are a Bad Troll !!! I never knew a Norwegian would do and say something like this. I bet you are not a full Norske. If you are then your parents should be deported. If your not a Norwegian then the Royal Palace needs to deport your stega feta puk.

Answer 4

If "all these Christians" are in Norway, then Norway isn't entirely made up of atheists.

Answer 5

Good point. If the atheists leave the United States, will the Christians agree to leave Europe?

Answer 6

What is so bad about Christians that makes it so you can't even stand to be around them? They are people too. Nobody says we (as Christians) are perfect. I'll be the first to say that we are far from perfect, but why can't you at least be tolerable towards others?

Answer 7

I know right? Those christians better not start a prosecution in my second favorite country.

Answer 8

If you are a strong athiest country then some Christians there should'nt make a difference

Answer 9

Um, 86% of Norwegians are Evangelical Lutherans, dude.

Answer 10

Hmmm. Is it also a freee country? Or do the thought police operate with impugnity there?

If it's free, then people can be where they want whether you like it or not. That's what's great about freedom. It let's you piss people off.

Answer 11

NEWS FLASH - Norway belongs to God as well!
