"But on a graduated scale, we are morally superior to the taliban, abortionists notwithstanding."

I respectfully disagree. As a nation we may be better at hiding our wickedness, but we are guilty of the same sins.

If you are claiming that the flesh of Americans--including probably far too many Christians--is just as capable of committing as bad and the diversity of sins as the Moslems, I'd agree at least to a point.

If you assert that just as many Christians are committing those just as bad sins as often or as destructively or as hideously etc. proportionally and/or in raw numbers--I'd disagree.

If you are saying that America has just as many evil people doing just as many evil things--proportionally; per capita or in raw numbers as any comparable number of Moslems--I'd disagree.

Have you lived in a foreign land which did not have the Judeo/Christian foundation as a cultural substrate? Evidently not. The difference--even in non-believers--is astounding.

And God knows that better than I do.

There's still plenty of reaping and sowing to be manifested. A LOT more good has been sown a LOT more routinely in our country as horrid as the levels are that so many of us have sunk to for so long. And yes, the bad that's been sown will have it's own reaping day that doesn't look too many months or years hence.

Do you think as a nation we are morally superior to the SS in Nazi Germany?
