well said. and who can forget our "aggressive" acts in europe and the pacific in ww2 and in france in ww1. and to think that this thread about america's aggressiveness toward other countries was started by a brit. perhaps history as taught in england neglects to mention their "colonization", human rights atrocities and attempted world domination that lasted for centuries only to be squelched when we revolted against their highly unjust policies. have to ask the op if he'd rather the ussr had prevailed in the cold war and become the world's sole superpower.

If you do not follow the teachings of a religion how can you call yourself religious ?. Christinians in America are Christinians in names only . They are doing everything contrarily to Christianity : abortions, homosexuality, lies, killings, adultery....etc....etc .

Fearful people do stupid things. And there's a whole lotta fear in the world right now.

What our oil doing under their sand anyways???

Huh....is there anyone on this planet who does not know that America is both an aggressor and a tyrant ?. There is absolutely no justification to what Americans did in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan just to name few countries .

please sir learn to command the English language before posting.

as for this thread, i don't see where you get that religion in America is on the rise...maybe among republican voters....but according to a recent census , attendance is dropping in christian churches, while atheism is rising as well as those that convert to other religions which islam is slowly topping the list.

Oh I know you weren't talking to me. My command of the English language is brilliant. When I write a word, it sings itself. Perhaps you should look up a few concepts like humor, slang, and tongue-in-cheek. Not to mention just plain colloquilisms....

Yes America is Aggressive. They have taken the same role as the Inquisition Martin Luther and Hitler who was Martin Luthers student.

Whether we want to say it or believe it we believe we are right in all matters. We tell other gov. what they can or can not do.

We set up the UN as a police of the world when in reality the UN is a arm of our Gov.

Our Gov lies to the people and kills 100'000 of thousands of Iraqi's and say it is for thier own good. They are not smart enough to know what they want. We are the liberater.

The inquisition did the same thing believe or die.

Martin Luther said Jews were devils and made them a villian that if they worshipped they would be burned to death. He wrote The Lie which Hitler based his extermination of the Jews on making them a villian and people had to turn them in or face Hitlers wrath..

Now the US does the same thing do as we say or face our wrath.

Fine country we have. Shalom...Miles

As odd as it will sound, to be Christian is to believe Christ died for our sins and to welcome him into your heart as lord and savior. Nowhere does it require one to be without sin , because noone is. If one truly believes Christ as lord and saviour, they will try to live in a way that would please him but they will not be without stumbles and slips,,,that is what forgiveness is for.

If Christianty is declining because people don't want to do what the bible says or wants to re-write it to fit their own agenda then so be it.A Christian who believes in water downed Christianity is just one step above a spiritual Atheist.I don't want to go to a church full of half believers.I would rather have 10 good Christians on my side who would die in the name of Christ than a 1000 who wouldn't.I know there is a lot of Christians out there who have bought into this political correctness insanity and are way off track.But there is many who have not and we will forge a even stronger church than the one before us and we will be blessed,as we will follow Gods word not mans.


There was army of soldiers that were traveling through a small village many years ago who were Christians.They waited for the service to start at the local church and came in with their machine guns in hand.They told the congregation "We know you are Christians.If you stay you will be shot.However if you deny Christ and leave your life will be sparred".About half of them left.Half stayed including the pastor and one of the soldiers sat down and put his gun down and said "We just wanted to get rid of the hypocrites before you stated.You may continue".

You are good my friend--can't top this!!

Yep! another great post!!!

Islam topping the list???Keep dreaming.

Didn't know command of the english language was a rule of posting--- thanks guy!

Total nonsense.Was it not the United states who stopped Hitler from "The final solution"?After World war two the United states and Britain were about the only two countries who would even accept the Jews after the war.Just about every country would not take them.Who was instrumental in creating a Jewish settlement in Israel after the War.United states ring a bell?You better face the facts.With out the United states there wouldn't be a single Jewish person alive on this planet today.Count your blessings Miles.

As far as the United states being some kind of Dictatorship that manipulates the United nations???Are you kidding me?The United nations is a joke!They blow off what the United states asks of them probably 95% of the time.When they actually do something it is almost always screwed up and backwards.

The only thing I see the United states doing is preventing ruthless dictators from killing millions of innocent people.The United states has always done what is right.It has finished more Wars and brought more peace than any country in the history of this planet.Perhaps you need to read a history book on the history of War.Pay special attention to how the war was started and more importantly who finished them.

Proof?


That would be Britain's fault.


Boshe.

Interesting. So...if those soldiers really wanted to do those un-hypocritical christians a favor, they should've shot them all and sent them to paradise immediately.
Conversely, isn't it a tenant of christianity to get people to church who aren't "good" christians so that they may hear the word, as it were, and start believing? Wouldn't removing the "hypocrits" just condemn them? Sounds like those soldiers were just typical self-righteous a-holes.

I would submit that christanity is declining because more and more people are seeing it for the superstitious nonsense it truly is.

I would say you need to read what really happened and how we entered WW2. Why we wanted to? Who did we destroy and then rebuild in our shadows for profit.

Who finaced WW2 on both side? Public record. treason yet the family takes contro; of whatever they want.

The Un is a US backed entity but u are right we still do what we want the hell with everyone else.

WMD's Colin Powell stood before the UN ande claimed he had proof when the proof he had had told him Iraq did not have WMD's


So you sound like a loyal American believe what ever Bill O Rielly and Hamnnity says. They are war heroes.

The US was not so worried about the Nazi'z as they was Japan who has become the little USA where the money is with 7 of the richests banks in the world thir in 50 years. Who utterly destroyed them then rebuilt them?

We knew the Jews were being slaughtered but what did we really do about it?

Step in and show false peace when thier is no peace?

Brits gave them a home not us.Even Roosevelt warned in office that thier are men behind the scenes he said then even whos goal was world domination with the elite deciding our fate for us.

I don't just read what my 8th grade History book says.. I look for the Why has something ha[ppened and does it really ad up and make sence.. I am not Jewish just incase anyone might think i am....Shalom...Miles

The religions that have been rising are the non traditional religions. Pagans are on the rise, as are Wiccans.

The hatemongers in this country will always target someone to hate and lately it has been the Muslims. They do not care if they are justified or not they just have to hate.

actually i think the studies showed atheism was on the fastest rise

ummmm a couple of misconceptions I see

the US did very little to stop the "final solution". the Soviet Union was more instrumental in that (and the fall of Berlin)

and the US and Britain were the main ones refusing entry to the Jews

France actually took in a LOT but they got too full too fast

some of the Jewish "coffin ships" sank off the American coast while the Coast Guard refused to render aid
