America to stay "One nation under God"

[A Black Falcon]

Why are all Christians so arrogant---? Is it because in addition to fairy tales about talking snakes and men in clouds, they're raised with a haughty 'I'm better than you because I love Jesus' attitude? The answer is a definitive yes.

This is pretty much correct. Though religion is only one of many reasons that Americans feel like they're better than everyone else, not the only one.

Religious people close minded? Many are. Not all. If you can say 'I know that there is no proof and that all the evidence points towards an ordered universe run by laws that has existed for we don't know exactly how long, etc, but I think that in some way there is a deity that has influenced how it progressed/the laws of nature/etc', then it's more reasoned. But if it's 'God created the world'...

And it is an absolute fact that religion makes it a WHOLE lot easier to not think. They tell you how to think and you listen! That's how most religion works. Makes things really easy for the people... thinking is hard, after all! It's a LOT easier to not think than it is to think.
