This is simple bull-s**t. It is the EUROPEANS that have a history of endemic religious wars! Hell, many of the colonists that came to North America were FLEEING the European religious fanaticism. Our founders were more than aware of this, and sought to allow for a yeasty exchange of religious ideas - yes in politics - because it is only in an open forum of debate/persuasion, and competition that actual social violence can be avoided. The libs want you to think that it is necessary to REMOVE the religious from the public square to avoid conflict, but in truth it is the opposite. Again, just look at European history. It was during the 30 year war that persecutions resulted when competing religious views were pushed underground resulting in a pressure-cooker of eventual violence.The Europeans have NO moral authority on this subject.
well said
Gee, did the Crusades happen in America or was it EUROPE?
Hmmmmmm?
"The libs want you to think that it is necessary to REMOVE the religious from the public square to avoid conflict, but in truth it is the opposite."
Excellent point. Thank you.
Yes,
HOWEVER! There was a socialist movement that swept over Europe. Marx, Freud, Nietche, Hitler, Mussolini......all were Godless people. Socialism goes beyond economics. It is a region replacement.
God has left Europe!
Today many Europeans pride themselves with the fact that they are NOT religious. As if only stupid people believe in such an absurd thing as "God". Cathedrals and churches are visited from a historical perspective. Its like visiting a museum, but its not about warship anymore. Religion is studied in schools. But its not practiced.
