Home is . . . . . . .....

There is something true and mildly disturbing about your statement ‘country I call home’.  Aren’t you actually European?  You may call this home but whose home is it really?  North America is the original home of an indigenousness people that arrived here, as the first humans to live in North America, thousands of years before our ancestors re-appropriated it.  If any group has the right to call North America home and dictate the customs used here it seems only fair that it be them.  Just like the countries you sited, I think it should be the indigenous people who get to say what’s what.  So I guess you should think about going home, to Europe, but be careful.  Denmark has one of the lowest percentages of professed Christians of all of the European countries (so do Britain and Switzerland).  You could try Poland or Portugal or maybe Italy as they are the countries with the highest rates of people reporting to be Christian but there again you may have a problem, they’re mostly Catholic and that might not work out so well for you.  And of course the country that has the highest rate of professed religiosity, Turkey, wouldn’t work out so well either.  You would be in danger of loosing your life in any Muslim country, you being an Evangelical Christian and all.  They don’t take to kindly to being evangelicaled.  But then it isn’t just the Muslims and Jews and Hindi and, and well it’s just about everybody (over 66% of the world) that you have trouble with.  You can’t even agree with the majority of Christians!  There are the reformed groups and, well there are over 33,000 denominations and then they fight among them selves and strike out to make new congregations (over 3 million at last count) when they can’t resolve their differences.  Bitch and moan all you want but don’t expect sympathy.  Religious people believe they have the right to impose their faith based beliefs upon everyone.  In your case it’s actually part of your calling.  You kinda fail at being evangelical if you don’t.  It ain’t the will of gravity you are trying to enforce, it is something you believe, which is different for each person and like I said originally, I wish personal, faith based belief systems were kept just that, personal and not made public, and defiantly not forced upon others.  Who set you up as the one that gets to tell others how to behave?  Oh yeah, you, based upon what you believe.  Unfortunately you act as if your rules apply to everyone but you.  You whine about others not respecting your personal beliefs but you trample on everyone else’s.  It don’t seem fair Daniel, it just don’t seem fair.  Enjoy………….
