You drew the most odd and random conclusion from what I said. CLEARY America is not God's chosen people. WHAT I WAS SAYING is that something that removed me from my lifes normalicy and that killed milions of people, a lot of which I know, would make me question God. I would not be questioning why God was mad at us, that's ludacris. I did not write this to be debated on God. There are plenty of threads out there for that.

For someone who is clearly not based in faith, you sure do have a holyer-then-thou attitude. I have physical proof of God. I am alive today against all rules of science. I beleive that other forces were at work, as NO doctor could even begin to account for my recovery. Just because you can spew out anti judio-christian buzz words like 'indoctrination', you think you have a firm grasp on reality, and I don't. Let me put it this way. Lets say you were born in a country that has no connections to western beliefs, politics, science, or religion. You are taught science that is different, not necessarily wrong, but different. You understand the world around you better beacuse of the way you were taoguth about the world around you. Then a westerner comes to you and ridicules you for your beleifs. How is that fair? How is you ridiculing me going to solve anything? Does it make you feel better? Who put you in charge of logic? Give me a break.

Just because you are in group a, doesn't mean there aren't people glad to be in group b. I never said ANYONE had to believe in God, the least of whome you. If you don't believe God exists, how does he have grubby hands?> It was a dissrespectful remark. Let's remember that the rules of TFP require people to act over 18.
