Why is America sooo religious?! I just don't get it! It's one of the most advanced modern states in the world, yet half the population (probably a lot more!) are no different to the most religious populations of the Middle East and elsewhere. The American regime, in terms of religious intensity, is identical to those in Iran or the Taliban in Afghanistan! |
The fundies in Alabama/Texas/Mississippi/etc. aren't the ones advancing the modern state. They're just reaping the benefits.

Haha, yeah good one missus. Apparently she's never read anything by Jefferson or Madison:
| quote: | | I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between church and State. |

| quote: | | We, the subscribers, citizens of the said Commonwealth, having taken into serious consideration, a Bill printed by order of the last Session of General Assembly, entitled "A Bill establishing a provision for teachers of the Christian Religion," and conceiving that the same, if finally armed with the sanctions of a law, will be a dangerous abuse of power, are bound as faithful members of a free State, to remonstrate against it, and to declare the reasons by which we are determined. |

| quote: | | Separation of church and state is "a lie we have been told," Harris said in the interview, published Thursday, saying separating religion and politics is "wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers." |
This is just... scary. How can you be a representative of one of the oldest democracies in the world and still say shit like this? Furthermore, how do people like this manage to get elected in the first place?

I should send her this book written by 2 Cornell professors, one that I had for 2 classes and one that I didn't have, so she can get an aide to read it and summarize, hopefully correcting her of her stupidity.

Amazon's got the first 4 pages of chapter 1 to preview if anyone's interested in the ideas brought forth.
