[QUOTE="pauli, post: 12615, member: 88"] [b]People talking of splitting USA (red-blue map)[/b] Hi Cornelia, I never said that there was anything wrong with a secular regime. I simply pointed out that Fascist Germany and Communist Russia - as well as Communist anything be it China, North Korea, etc. - were examples of secular regimes that slaughtered millions of innocent people because of their religious affiliations. I was certainly not maligning any of the current countries who are secular in nature. As to America, the European writer, Alexis De Toqueville, wrote that the U.S. at the time of its founding, and until recent times I might add, had been founded upon Religious principles. This is why you see the division between those Red and Blue states. There are very many places in America where this tradition holds strongly. Have there been atrocities in Religious countries? Of course, however, the ones from the recent secular regimes far outstrip the deaths from the older Christian regimes. As to the Muslim deaths, I think they are pretty much on par with the Communists - though I could be wrong. America, however, has a different sort of spin on the religious angle than even Europe. There have been no pogroms over here. There has been the oppression and murder of the Indians, of which we should properly be ashamed, but all in all American Christianity has not taken on the destructive edge that Christianity has taken in other countries. I don't know why. (And I know for a fact I am going to be flamed now.) Perhaps if Europeans want to understand America better, they could look up De Toquevilles book, "Democracy In America." It may be outdated, but it will give you all an insight into what/how this country was founded. It may also help explain the results of Tuesday's elections. [/QUOTE]
