Not throwing a tantrum, just pointing out the hypocrisy.
considering i made this post on page 27, i hardly see how it's relevant to go back to page 8.

as you can plainly see, you contradict yourself by claiming that Denmark is secular, I WANT YOU TO ADDRESS THE CONTRADICTION which you have not done, but avoid the issue like a child.
Just man up and admit you were wrong, I would have dropped it a long time ago.
Jeez

This is a clear example of the mindset of an atheist, If you won't accept that Denmark's government is in fact NOT secular which is easily provable, how are you going to even begin to discuss spiritual matters?
Your own quote (in bold for clarity)

It gives people the ability to chose a religion (or no-religion) without the state choosing for then. It prevents a state mandated religion from either existing or enforcing it's rules and dogmas on the body politic.
Now if that's not the 'freedom to chose' I don't know what is.
so according to YOU, secularism prevents a state mandated religion.

Quote:Of all the religions in Denmark, the most prominent is Christianity in the form of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Denmark, the state religion.
Also according to YOU secularism "gives people the ability to chose a religion (or no-religion) without the state choosing for them"

Quote: Let me briefly summarize what the State-church system implies:Need I go on?
• According to the constitution (§ 54), the Lutheran-evangelic Church is the Danish People’s Church (“Folkekirke”), and is, as such, supported by the State, which means that the Lutheran-evangelic religion and its institutions and churches are given a favored place among religions in Danish society. All tax-paying citizens, regardless of their personal religious beliefs, thus contribute to the priests and bishops of the “Folkekirke.”
• Practically all citizens are automatically born as members of the “Folkekirke.” Not to be so demands that the citizens take the initiative to leave the church. At present 83 percent of the Danish population belong to the “Folkekirke.”
Denmark, then, from one point of view is clearly a Christian country—as are by the same standards the other Scandinavian countries.
This amalgamates into what I for want of a better label would label a secularised Lutheranism as a dominant cosmology in Denmark. Although Denmark (and Sweden) is a country in which most of the citizens by tradition belong to the State church, Christianity as a religion does not characterize the life of any large segment of the population.
Denmark clearly does not have separation between church and state, yet you fail to acknowledge your own evidence proving this fact.
You're contradicting yourself dude.
I can't wait to hear your next excuse....
