I mean do Christians in any other country in the world denounce Evolution? Anywhere else, do they view as sending money in to TV shows as a means of getting closer to God? Come on show me a fundamentalist Christian from any other country, I challenge you!

This isn't an American bashing exercise, just a bit of nutty bible belt bashing ;-)

There are some pretty wacko Christians in Eastern Europe. The Serbian government is sponsoring Creationism to be taught in schools. There are also some scary Christian millitias in Lebanon.
The worst is the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda, a group of fanatical Christians which have commited countless atrocities, pioneered several despicable torture methods, and are famed for their use of child soldiers. Next to them, Pat Robertson is a liberal agnostic.

As far as Christians who denounce evolution You'll find them in China, and in India, and in South Korea... (probably North Korea too, but shhh!). I know of a great Independant Fundamental Baptist church in Kumasi, Ghana. They are all over the world.
As far as Christians who send money in to TV preachers... well, I don't care where they are from, they're stupid. Those aren't fundamentalists, those are retards who don't know the Bible from babble.

"Freaks" is an unkind word. Nevertheless, I will accept your challenge, and quote an example.
I'm a Christian Canadian, living in Taiwan. Someone I know in Taipei once told me about the Fundamentalist notion of speaking in Tongues. According to her pastor, "Tongues" is a language no different from French or German or Thai, except that it is the language spoken by God. If you can't speak Tongues you cannot get to Heaven. Too bad Berlitz doesn't offer a course.
Next challenger please. I will take on any American-basher who comes my way.

No, the American Christians are not freaks or any other country that contain Christians. There are Christians all over this Earth and not one of them would waste the time to challenge you. We don't need to prove nothing to you. Remember this: When you point a degrading finger at someone or some Religion or Culture, that there are three fingers pointing back at you.
I pray that God will soften your heart.

Oh GET OVER YOURSELF!!!! I'm a Christian, but I was also raised in the cultures of 3 Native American indian nations. My AP Bio teacher claims that he is not a staunch athiest like Richard Dawkins, but he is always making wise cracks about native spirituality. Strange thing, he went to a Catholic University. Like I told him that my middle name was Trinity. He says "oh, for the father, the son, and the Holy Ghost." I will be a biology major in the fall of 2008. I accept evolution, but MY FAITH IS STONG!!!!! When was the last time that Charles Darwin saved me from a car accident or delivered me from illness. I know that THERE IS A GOD. I have seen him at work!!!!

Are you kidding? Fundamentalist Televangelists have literally been SWEEPING across Africa lately, holding huge tent revivals, and converting hundreds of thousands of Africans to fundamental Christianity. These Africans fall for it, even when these Televangelists drive up in limos and dripping money from every orifice, even when the Africans in the audience cannot even afford to buy shoes, they fall for this!
Several Televangelists have run into trouble on this back in the US, and are now trying to dodge accusations of taking advantage of the poor, uneducated, etc. in Africa.

No it is not just Americans who denounce macro Evolution. Any true believer in the word of God has to see the flaws and evil in the theory of Evolution.
To give money to TV shows is not scriptural. God requires faithfulness, repentance and a humble heart to get closer to Him, not your money.
EDIT: I'm British.

I'm a Christian (Mormon specifically)
I don't neccessarily denounce evolution-- I believe in descent with modification (I think that's what it's called), but I don't agree that man evolved from something else seeing as I believe God made us.
I admit I'm weird (aren't we all?), but I don't think I'm a "freak".
Please don't generalize so much in your statements.

No mate. Africa is right up there. They leave the Americans at the starting blocks.
