Backwards nation
|
How big a factor do you think the continuing Christian backwardness is on the pace at which America is losing the scientific edge as it goes into relative economic/power decline?
blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” – John 20:26-29
backwards compared to what nation? or on what standerd?
it`s not all sunshine in europe - we are very racist - especialy in the south. catholic europe is very backwards - just look at italy. and compared to afghanistan youre still top. 
Highly significant factor. Add that to the money that corporations make by continuing to pollute the air and water and it adds up to a perfect storm of nuttiness.
But at least the rich cocksuckers are making money off the deal. The jesus freaks are just plain stupid.

As this country becomes more ashamed of our God the further we slide economic power/world leader. If you point back to our past as a world leading nation you also have to recognise the the strength in the faith we had as a nation in God/Christianity.  RE: Backwards nation

Drich beat me to it. Atheists have been crowing lately that Christianity is on the decline in America. Now you note that America is in economic/power decline. 2+2=4 anybody?
Do we really need to point out that correlation does not equal causation?

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

John V explain to me how the decline of christianity furthers the decline of a nations economy.
Germany - 40-50% of the population atheist - strongest economy in europe since the 90s. and the number of atheists is growing.

Heck, most Christians accept all science except for origins, and papers on evolution ain't exactly driving GDP. |
