Or because we're the result of generations of the outcasts of every other country rutting, latching on to religious fundamentalism, and enshrining the ability to use lethal weapons as a basic human right.
I'm pretty sure most murders here are not religiously motivated, but figured it was a matter of time before someone blamed religion in America for it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
