Why Are American's So Arrogant

[KOIfriend]

[quote name='Nihil Obstat' post='1621106' date='Aug 8 2008, 01:20 AM']Wow, what a wonderful example of personal freedoms! Well at least it's not Canada, right? America still has a chance. [/quote]

The Bible says pride cometh before a fall. With the economic recession you are facing right now, which also is spreading here in Canada, I think you should reconsider all of your Attitudes. Your country is not the country you think it is. It is corrupt and evil.

You think that because Republicans [b]say[/b] they are against Abortion and homosexual rights your nation is any more Godly than anybody else's. Well guess what, Conservatives in my nation say they're also against homosexual rights and abortion. And in both nations, nothing ever gets done about these. If you haven't already realized, it's a stupid carrot and the Donkey trick. They dangle that carrot in front of you so they can stay in power.

You are blind, arrogant, and proud. And any other American who thinks the same is blind, arrogant, and proud. Stop being self-righteous, and start trusting in God and God alone. Your government isn't going to make your nation a godly nation, God is through you!

I'm not sure if you noticed or not but the person you quoted is from Canada

[Justin86]

I think he might be Canadian or something.

In either case, I don't recall any American politician saying we're more religious than anyone else. We do have the largest level of church attendance in the Western world, however. Our politician's gestures towards religious figures and practices are nothing more than a reflection of that, and KOIfriend is right, those gestures don't have an impact on abortion on homosexuality. Whoever said they did?

Maybe he's French-Canadian? That would account for his lack of reasoning as well.

Oh, the irony!

Just copying it from the title... and asking the OP to clarify it.

Man, you're fast!! You replied to that even before I was done editing it.

[Justin86]

I still think he's French and therefore can't reason or speak English.

I just got done reading a book called That Sweet Enemy, which is about the rivalry/friendship between Great Britain and France. It is interesting how the same pattern repeats itself around the world. Now obviously the UK and France have a much richer history together (Waterloo, Dunkirk, de Gaulle etc) but they have the same "issues" with each other that Canada has with us.

I don't think any rational person, including Americans, would say that the US government or the Republicans or Democrats is going to save us, or that our focus should be anywhere but God, but that is not the same thing as saying America is corrupt or evil. See the catechism on the virtue of patriotism.

I'm not American, and although I'm Canadian, but God comes first. He's my government and my protection and everything I need.

I'm tired of hearing people who claim to be Christian be self-righteous like the above person was. Even though it was a joke, it's a rather disturbed joke, because that is what he must really thinks in his heart. At least my country has a chance to be righteous, but not that other country.

I'm tired of hearing that from Americans. I have news for you. It is biblical not to owe any money, but how many people in America have bills in collections? 60, 70, 80 per cent? How many? If it was so Godly, why doesn't people obey that rule in the bible. Or are they always going to be the servants to the lenders who borrowed that money to them. Why do people not live up to it?

But the person you quoted wasn't even American, that person is Canadian.

What's that you say, there's a speck in my eye? Well thank you for pointing that out, brother!

Hmmm,

The first sentence out of our [b][url="http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/charter/"]Charter of Rights and Freedoms[/url][/b] is that we recognize the rule of law and the supremacy of God. Since the linked document is an official goverment document, you show how arrogant, misinformed, blind and proud you are. Thanks for proving my point.
