Believing in America is the same as believing in God? No. That makes no sense.

America was explicitly founded on a belief in God, so it seems to me that if you deny God, you deny the founding principles of America, and indeed the very idea of The United States of America, as conceived. You're left with a rationalistic judgement that everything worked out great, but nothing like a belief in America, AFAICT.

That's a very creative and tortuous logic you've got going there. I happen to not believe any of it, and fortunately it is entirely useless and meaningless, as you are addressing something you know nothing about.

You are free to believe that I don't believe in America--a truly bizarre assertion to make. And talk about judgment--based on a couple of posts, you're able to judge my patriotism and most basic beliefs. I look back with nostalgia your fury at my making a single judgment about a comment, as opposed to a person's soul.

I am still bewildered by your intense reaction to my position, though I have a definite idea as to why you've reacted this way--it's pretty obvious, actually. But let's not get into that.

Take care.
