To me, when I think of Canadians I think of happy, trusting, well provided for people with lots of beer and good medical care.
I believe the stark contrast of that vs America may be a result of the patriotism acquired from WWII, being extended and extenuated long past that time and it has morphed into isolationist supremacy backed up by intentional taught ignorance and church ingrained skepticism of anything that isn't delivered via god blessed avenues of communications pre-approved by the mandatorily religious political leaders. I also believe Americans, all of us, are mentally ill or self medicating. Lack of medical care and workers rights, pretty much, is what gets you a country plagued by violent crime and self detonating behavior.
Not to mention the SPEcial Special people-- 5 million Rush Limbaugh lovin, 16 & pregnant, freedom spoutin beurocrats who are not free but think they're anarchists and Gods gift to the world.
Pretty much Americans are taught to has the dumb while also being taught that they're smart and the world's best. No joke, we are told we are the best of the world.
America is #1?
Maybe 60 yrs ago.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
