I no more welcome a "hard core" Christian nation as I would an atheist or an Islamic one.

Bible thumpers scare the bejesis out of me, exactly as the sandmaggots do.

Having said that, professional militant atheists as below scum, childmolesters and perverts in my estimation.

Wait...
Am I repeating myself?

Yep, -- "hard core" Christians, professional militant atheists, and
Bible thumpers scare the bejesis out of most everyone, exactly as the sandmaggots do.

They are all fanatics:

"The continuous disasters of man's history are mainly due to his excessive capacity and urge to become identified with a tribe, nation, church or cause, and to espouse its credo uncritically and enthusiastically, even if its tenets are contrary to reason, devoid of self-interest and detrimental to the claims of self-preservation."

We are thus driven to the conclusion that the trouble with our species is an excess capacity for fanatical devotion.

Can you please define your terms? Those who devoutly believe in the Koran created Iraq. Those who devoutly believe in the Bible created the U.S.

I think there is a clear difference. It's not faith that is dangerous, it's what you have faith in.

Not that there aren't good examples of bad people who claim every faith on the planet, including "fundamentalist" atheists. (Remember Stalin?) But I can never understand why people want to equate believing Christians with the Taliban.

As I said, maybe I just don't know what you mean by a "Bible Thumper."

Shalom.

None of you have anything earthly to worry about - you're in the majority. This is not a Christian nation. It isn't even a non-Christian nation. It's an anti-Christian nation. (In fact, all the nations have set their face against Him.)
