As I was saying about Yahoo, they care about making money, not being pro-Muslim or pro-Christian. They are pro-money. That is why the story was moved so quickly, no other reason.

Let me ask you. If those people that were killed in Pakistan had been Muslims would your level of caring be the same?

I don't think it is cynial, I think it is realistic. In 2006 National Geographics did a poll and only 30 some percent could find Iraq on a map, and that was in the middle of the war there. Less than 25 percent could find Israel on a map. Yes. I do find a correlation between knowing the basics of a country (I.e. Where it is) and caring about the people of that country.

It is my opinion based on interactions with people all over the country and from paying attention to the country. We (as a country) have a short opinion span and care little about what happens outside of our borders, if not outside our own little world. It is my opinion we (as a country) care more about who is doing well on the voice and who Kylie Jenner is dating than a bombing in some Muslim country.

Seriously? Most people could not find Pakistan on a map, let alone care about the people there. I would even suggest you care because they were Christians killed, had it been a large group of Muslims I am betting the terrible feeling would be missing. I don't recal seeing anyone complain when Yahoo does not run stories about terrorist killing Muslims.

I would say you are very much in the minority on that.

It has nothing to do with defending Islam, it is basic business. People in the US do not care about dead people in Pakistan. We can relate to people in Europe, not so much those in Pakistan

Being idle is not the same as being a sluggard or slothfulness. Idleness is akin to anger, neither is a sin but both can lead one to sin.

There is no sin of idleness.

It is true. There is no such thing as a "Christian Nation" unless that nation is also a Christian Theocracy.

The problem I have with the KJV is that the English language has changed mightly since the 1600's. So now I not only have to rely on the fact the KJV translators did a good job but I have to find a trustworthy source to tell me what a word meant a half a century ago in a different country. That is if I even find a reason to look a word up. The joy of digital bibles is I do not need to have a single favorite, I have multiple versions at my fingertips. My most often used are the RSV, the ESV and the HCSB

A nation of Christians that built our nation on the backs of slaves and the bones of the local inhabitants.

America has never been a Christian nation.

Your first article said this... The only reason to do so would be to overturn the pro-Second Amendment ruling. This is verifiable false and has been verified as false. The irony here is that I asked you not to blindly accept what the NRA said and your response is to say "well the NRA said", thus proving you have blindly accepted what they posted. As for reading skills, the first one is what this whole discussion is about, and the 2nd one, all of the Supreme Court agreed with, even the guy they are now trying to replace.
