Spiritually and with it's ability to have the Strongest Military Force?
You all posts your stats on Secular Countries which can be disputed by what kind of Google Searches you are conducting.
The Stongest Nations are the USA and Israel which have the highest population of GOD Believing People.
Those secualr scandinavian countries have major problems and need the USA to come to thier rescue at any given moment they might be attacked by a Islamic Country as well as all of Europe does with the exception of Britain
The countries you mention are WEAK and COMPLACENT
Spiritually and Militarily and are defenseless to any foreign enemy...You want to live like Prey than living in the USA and Israel is proably where you might not want to live.
You love Secualr countires because they live in a bubble world? Why?

So it is either believe in your God or get shot by your military?
You know that your country is headed for a whopping big recession with all the expensive smart bombs your president keeps throwing around, right?

>The Stongest Nations are the USA and Israel which have the highest population of GOD Believing People.
That's actually a lie.
The religious attitude data is from a poll that was part of the Pew Global Attitudes Project. The survey report is available online at:
http://pewglobal.org/reports/display.php?ReportID=167
The question wording used in the poll was as follows:
How important is religion in your life—very important, somewhat important, not too important, or not at all important?
The report available online only lists the percentage that said religion was 'very important'. The data from the report is listed below:
Religion Very Important
North America:
U.S. 59 %
Canada 30 %
West Europe:
Great Britain 33 %
Italy 27 %
Germany 21 %
France 11 %
East Europe:
Poland 36 %
Ukraine 35 %
Slovakia 29 %
Russia 14 %
Bulgaria 13 %
Czech 11 %
Conflict Area:
Pakistan 91 %
Turkey 65 %
Uzbekistan 35 %
Latin America:
Guatemala 80 %
Brazil 77 %
Honduras 72 %
Peru 69 %
Bolivia 66 %
Venezuela 61 %
Mexico 57 %
Argentina 39 %
Asia:
Indonesia 95 %
India 92 %
Philipines 88 %
Bangladesh 88 %
Korea 25 %
Vietnam 24 %
Japan 12 %
Africa:
Senegal 97 %
Nigeria 92 %
Ivory Coast 91 %
Mali 90 %
South Africa 87 %
Kenya 85 %
Uganda 85 %
Ghana 84 %
Tanzania 83 %
Angola 80 %
So ... are all the countries with more than 59% stronger than the U.S.?

And religion has what to do with that? YOu post things like this constantly. There are many other religions other then Christianity. The United States will be a Christian nation when it is voted in by Congress which will NEVER happen because we all aren't Christian.
Just because a country isn't full of nutty Christian fundimentalists doesn't make a country secular. The definition of secular is not relating or pertainign to religion. It doesn't apply just to Christians. And you realize, well obviously you don't, but Christians aren't the only ones who believe in God.
The strength you are speakign of relates to Military. The US has a strong military because we dump lots of money into it. As does Israel.

Yes, I do believe there are many who want to see the USA weakened.
Just look at all the anti-Bush liberals out there. They want to see the USA fail. They want to see Bush fail. All because of their hatred for Bush and our capitalistic ways. They want to see America defeated and demoralized.
Spirituality can be a source of strength, but doesn't have to be the main source. Family loyalty, desire to improve the world, love of country all increase our strength, yet do not involve GOD.
Look at China. China's economic and military strength are increasing at a high rate. Religion appears to play a very minimal role. It's because they've adopted capitalism.
I've never been a spiritual person, yet I believe I contribute to our overall strength. I work hard, raise my son as best as I can, help my family, obey the law, pay taxes, support the troops, and believe in our system.

Wrong. China has the strongest standing Army and I wouldn't want to go up agaisnt them
The US retreated from them in KOREA when they did thier HUMAN WAVE THING
GO READ HISTORY
The US keeps getting itself into NO WIN Vietnam conflicts.
The LAST TIME the US Won a TOTAL victory was GRENEDA
The last time the British won a total victory was the FALKLANDS
The reason is lack of committment.
We torcher a few prisoners and EVERYONE with a PC bone in their body goes OOOOO
Whatever happened to ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR
As long as you tie our hands we can't win.
Wanna win, go in like Lt. Calley
Wanna win, MAKE OLIVER NORTH GENERAL OF THE ARMY

Some people believe differently than others. Just cause we're bigger & badder were justified to go around muscling everybody into democracy, forcing our beliefs on them. Some people choose to be passivists, and live at peace with the surrounding nations. The MESSIAH YAHSHUA was a PEACE MAKER, HE didn't choose to beat people into thinking the way HE thought. HE LIVED HIS LIFE BY EXAMPLE, & IN THE WAYS OF PEACE!!! Did that make HIM weak in your eyes?

What on earth are you blathering on about!? You obviously have NO concept of what makes a country a good place to live. Those so called secular countries have some of the highest standards of living and the lowest levels of poverty primarily because their entire budget is not being spent on the Military. PLEASE, get a passport!! TRAVEL!!! OPEN YOUR MIND!!!

Israel is not one of the strongest nations in the world and is not one of the highest "God believing people"
Secularism has nothing to do with the military and the US is not weak because of it.
By the way, did you ever learn when to use capital letters in elementary school?

Your idea that spirituality and being the most aggressive nation on earth somehow go hand in hand is the ugliest distortion of Chrsitianity I've ever seen.
So I assume you were mighty impressed with Bush's little "who would Jesus invade" rationalization for the bloodshed in Iraq.

seems that per your post the secular countries are being attacked by the "spiritual" countries... might makes right? funny also that the countries with the strongest "spiritual" ties are also the ones with the most military power... seems a bit contradictory to me.
