    No. If you travel to any modern country other than America such as Japan, Germany, Sweden, Canada, France, Britain, or Italy, you'll see secular countries that aren't controlled by dogma and a book of fairytales like America is.

    It's amazing how people just make up about other countries compared to America.
    Went to Germany this past summer (actually each of the past two summers (also had a German Exchange student live with us for a year)). Germany is OFFICIALLY a Christian country (as opposed to USA - where separation of Church/State is guaranteed). Sunday (the sabath) all kinds of rules that don't apply to other days of the week: Trucks not allowed on the roads (working trucks). Can't mow you're lawn - police will literally come and make you stop/give you a ticket. I could go on, but suffice it to say, you're talking out you're ass.

    Yes, they have blue laws, but they mean nothing religiously in practice. They are just a nice break for people.

    Its different here. Australians are brainwashed into thinking Israeli's are virtually the devil
    the problem is nearly every govt is influence or been infiltrated by jews zionists , they get all sour when any negative is talked about them...lol dumb s should know alot of aussies dont give a about them or anything in israel, cause aussies should start looking after then own instead of worrying issues they have no control over....

    was going to talk about commie states, but thats something else

    You're both re s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religio...eter_poll_2010 http://ec.europa.eu/public_opinion/a...74_publ_en.pdf

    If you look at the data on German youth, the secular numbers rise even higher

    Of special note are the numbers in countries like Sweden and Norway (2 of the countries with the highest living standards in the world)

    American numbers? http://religions.pewforum.org/reports Jeebus! Jeebus! Jeebus! Save my soullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

    people seem to have prejudice against religion imho. i don't believe the existence of god and im not a religious person but religion ain't just about warship or churching imho. i don't think parents are brainwashing their kids when they're just teaching their kids to behave in the right way. i doubt people still believe that land is square or but as you bury the old false scientific thoughts into the graves, you should've not dumped the moral standards imho. it was the loss of moral standards that caused the whole mess of if anything, people spent their money abusively and damaged the environment for fun because they don't fear the nature anymore. those religious doctrines might be outdated but the common ethics will never fade away tbh

    They are brainwashing their children because they don't give them a chance to make their own decision, they bombard them with that at a young impressionable age and then its there for life basically. Yes a lot of a religion is teaching to be a good person but a lot is bad too, I see your point

    I don't know where you got that propaganda cartoon, but there are three types of stem cells. There is no embryonic stem cell progress for hardly anything. Especially leukemia. now progress has been made with other types of stem cells.

    Hey food stamps Cobra, quit avoiding the Texas education thread like it's the plague and address the fact Texas was still one of the worst in education spending when you factor in cost of living.

    Pay attention.

    Original post I responded to claimed German to be a "Secular" country. I corrected poster by saying he was, in fact, wrong. I was surprised to learn German is, again, officially, legally, a Christian country. Christianity is the official religion; its holidays are recognized by the state, and the laws that exist to support that are absolute. AND I can tell you from experience, many Germans, although they do not attend Church themselves, are proud of that fact, and there is no move to eliminate the legal designation.
