[QUOTE="DogmaHunter, post: 69836227, member: 346237"] "find truth"??? Being opportunistic in professing a belief in order to gain land is "finding truth" now? Every non-christian civilisation in history disagrees. Also, the [I]secular[/I] country I live in, is not based on anything biblical, but on secular concepts. We might have a judeo-christian [I]culture[/I], but that's an entirely different aspect. That's historical baggage and tradition. Everyone has a past. Civilisations are no different. That's completely ridiculous. Not to mention demonstrably wrong. Take something as simple as the US as compared to the rest of the western secular world. The US is BY FAR the most religious western country. Christianity still plays a very big role in both private and public life in the US, as opposed to other western secular nations. Yet, the US is also the leader in violence, crime rates, etc. "home terrorism" is a FAR bigger problem in the US then "foreign terrorism". It's quite ironic really... some time ago, the US issued a "warning" to its citizens to be extra carefull when visiting places like Istanbul and even avoid it if possible because of the apparantly big "threat" of becoming victims of violence by terrorists. The ironic part was that merely living in Chicago exposes you to many, many times the risque of getting shot or otherwise being a victim of a violent act. See, when we look at the actual world, we see the exact opposite of what you claim. Countries with higher religiosity have HIGHER rates of crime, violence, death, etc as opposed to secular democracies with lower religiosity levels. Indeed, let's. You may start by explaining why crime rates and general violence is so out of proportion high in the US as opposed to all other secular western nations. A world like what, exactly? [/QUOTE]
