I can probably one-up you on that one. I think I know more about the Bible and the history of its creation than most Christians. (for example, not only can I make a strong case, complete with Biblical citations, that Jesus’ mother was not a virgin, but I can even explain why the virgin myth became part of the canon.)[/quote]

Having never read the Christian bible, yeah, you got me 🙂

[quote=teaboy]I would guess that the following gives some pretty good insights into how US allies and other democracies see us.

I’m sure lots of piggingtons could honestly say they dont share any feelings of justice or joy in the news, but I would guess they’re a vast minority. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that from constituents, but I feel our leaders should perhaps be a little more balanced in their rhetoric.

I’m one of those who can honestly say that I don’t share any feelings of justice or joy. But I have no idea how the article you linked to and quoted is indicative of how US allies and other democracies see us. Care to elaborate on that one?

While the elation many feel here in the US may not be universal, I suspect Bin Laden’s death is viewed as a positive through most of the world. Except within some very small minorities, he wasn’t a particularly popular guy anywhere, including the Arab Muslim world.

[quote=UCGal] My sister just says I haven’t been “blessed with faith” and is praying for me.[/quote]

One of my most favorite quotes is from Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons. When asked about his faith by a priest, Robert Langdon responds “Faith is a gift that I have yet to receive”. On my favorite left wing blog, I was recently described by a friend as “the most religious non-believer that I’ve ever come across” because of my bibical citations. I’m not a believer (in much of anything), but that doesn’t mean that I think religion doesn’t have some important lessons. As do fairy tales.

After that, we can combine plumbers with doctors. After all, the body is pretty much just one big plumbing system. Call in an electrician when brain stuff is involved.

Sorry about that.

Bad idea. They both wear uniforms. They don’t do the same jobs.
