We wouldn't even consider scaring a christian country with annihilation: This is religious

Last edited Wed Apr 8, 2026, 02:07 PM - Edit history (1)

Until we accept the truth that we're all biased against other belief systems, we cannot hope for peace.

That would require seeing our own family religion as less than absolute truth: It would make belief relative, and thus irrelevant.

Our brilliant founders knew that. Remove religion, or continue the path of continuous war and misery.

But, yes, with Hegseth it does come into play. With Trump, just a means to an end.

The US (64%), DR Congo (96%), Philippines (92%), Mexico (89%) and South American countries have the highest percentages of Christians but there are no theocratic Christian countries per se.

The Iran war is about oil, colonialism and real estate.

I think the majority want a religion free country as it was born! People have religion’s countries have laws. The problem with people and their religions is that they think they can tell others what to believe. So odd to think of ‘religious’ people killing others because they think differently. Simply insane!
