Why does Christianity have more resistance in North America than in Europe?

[The Lawspeaker]

I hope you're right.

The Russians will have to face up to their own problems. We, on the other hand, have more pressing issues in our own countries and on our Southern borders and this is why I want the Germanic states to separate from the rest of Europe, so we can protect our borders (using the rest as a buffer zone), while cleaning up our own home.

Some may be genetic (early European immigrants to the United States were largely persecuted due to their own, shall we say, unusual, religious preferences). Otherwise, there were much fewer wars in the United States directly from 1789-1990s compared with Europe and there were fewer threats to religion.

Loki, I don't see there being WWIII. Nuclear weapons (even with missile defense) make that pretty much done with, as the risk of even one nuclear weapon killing hundreds of thousands of people is just too high.

I don't think it has anything to do with wars. Many areas of the planet that have seen more wars, more frequently (or just very unstable governmnets) can have high levels of religious observance and church participation.

Before you talk of recovery, we will have to face a third world war pretty soon, all because of this incessant Russophobia and American expansionism in Eastern Europe (and worldwide). But people never learn their lesson it seems... history is unimportant to these modern Europeans, hence their bad decisions.

The unnecessary Rusofobia being the reason? Oh well, I might have forgotten that this is Loki, after all.

Many people think that science is enough to explain everything..
They are happy with it...
Michelangelo died at 90... and my father died at 83..
During renaissance the science was relatevely "primitive".. In 2019 the scientists claim they are able to change your DNA...but for my father ( and many many many Others) science DID NOTHING..

The new religion is the "SCIENCE"... but so far.. it seems that science is not working so well..


The "soap" saved 100 times more people than antibiotics...

North America was spared of the secularising French Revolution and the atheistic communist revolutions of the 20th century, unlike Europe. The Second Vatican Council also hurt the prestige of the Catholic Church among the more traditionalist adherents of the faith.

I remember making exactly the same argument when my mother died (after a stroke). I remember blurting out to a nurse that: "what kind of medical science is this ? You can give someone a bigger pair of tits but you can't stop something serious ?" What a joke. Medical science, my arse. What a crock...

I don't think there will be a world war. It's just chatter.

I really hope you're right too.

[The Lawspeaker]

I really hope you're right too.

We will have our own battles to fight. And I am talking about Germanic Europe and our cousins on the other side of the Atlantic and Down Under. Reaching back to what we do best, chuck out the muck and rewrite the rulebook.

[KMack]

I think an adjustment should be made for individual European countries. They are not all the same.
