You're right. For a country that prides itself on freedom of religion and culture and everything else, we do seem to mention God quite a bit. I don't think that's bad thing, though. Orginized religion is the real problem here. You get enough people believing two different things that contradict eachother, and sparks begin to fly. Please people, don't follow anything blindly, and don't convince yourself that your way is the ONLY way. Someone who will go unamed (::cough::PunkMonkey::cough::) started a very big argument over that some time ago, and I hope you all can now see what I meant by the bible driving people to kill. No, these people weren't insane catholics slamming planes into buildings, but it easily could have been. You have to understand that as numbers increase, I.Q. points drop. Please, everyone, for the sake of the tens of thousands of lost lives out there, make religion something personal and spiritual for you, don't force it on anyone else. Books like the Koran and Bible are NOT ment to be lived by. They are what you turn to for advice and security.
