christians scare me

[John56{vg}]

And ironically, the seperation of church and state in England is far more pronounced now than it currently seems in America (though this is merely my personal observation from way over the pond here ). I have heard tales of laws being passed because they satisfy the beliefs of a particular faith (laws against contraception in some states, for example) whereas here that sort of thing would never be allowed to happen.

As an aside, I do have my own opinions on the historical imperative of countries formed by revolution...

I agree with you. And in England and other parts of the world the public is knowledgable enough to believe in evolution. The current U.S. administration has funded Abstinence only and faith-based sex ed (meaning NO sex ed) programs and now the incidences of STDs are way up with teen young women here. It is sad and disheartening.

The U.S. is having a major problem with keeping religion out of the political arena. I just hope we can stem the tide. Of course the administration is not well-known for holding ANY of our Bill of Rights as sacred.

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate them.
