And OP, while t's true there's lots of weirdos in America.... I really think they are a small minority. It's just that they are so interesting to watch, the popular media can't help but portray more of it than usual.

One can't base one's understanding of a country only on the images one sees on tv or reads in the news. If so, Israel is filled with explosions everyday, Taiwan is always having elections, Korea is always rioting, China is starving, etc.

Btw, Denmark is where the anti-muslim cartoons came out, so if I base my judgement solely on what I read in the news, I'm going to think your country is filled with bigots who hate muslims and are intolerant towards other religions (now doesnt that sound just like your assumption of america?)

Yup, i'm very clear it's a minority, a very small minority. However i seem to you, i am a great admirer of america, troubled though it is.

And you would be right, denmark is filled with stupid intolerant people.
Sociologically it is quite understandable, but it's still annoying as hell for me to hear them.

Again - what do that have to do with Americans? I'm sure there are some Christians in your country who believe in the same moronic ideas. I'm not denying that there are probably some people who believe this (probably a small amount - I've never met anyone who has).

Americans are the only ones that are this religious, look at many of Bush' voters.
People this rellious simply don't really exist in denmark, there's maybe 500 of them some place secluded.

Thanks for proving your bias against America. European elitism at it's best.

Yes, but he's actually correct. In a poll done last year Americans were found to be the most religious of any 'western' nation (including people living in and around Vatican City). We also have the highest percentage of fundamentalist christians (again, as per polls which are obviously prone to some error).

America is a pretty scary place to anyone with a brain.

:roll:
Welcome to the stupid statement hall of fame. Can we assume you will be removing your ever so enlightened brain from America so you wan't have to suffer with all us barbarians?

Dude, it's no secret that this religious people don't live in "modern" europe, as in france, germany, italy, and that.

You just said that there are 500 in Denmark, if you are so enlightened, why are there 500 of them? Do you know the definition of the word contradiction? It's clear that you are a little out of your league here...

I never said we were enlightened, it's entirely different ways we've developed.
These 500 are not communities as such, they are people who have a awakening and move to someplace in jutland (danish province) and settle down with likeminded extremists.

And don't insult my english, i speak english if not better then you, then at your level (prolly worse than you but i like exaggerating).

True. I find myself arguing, at different times and for different circumstances, both sides of this issue myself, and I've seen that nobody is willing to change their way of thinking. The logical poeple cling to science reasoning, and the emotional people cling to religious spirituality, but it's not right to say that logic or spirit should shadow eachother. My world view is based on a weird comingling of the two.

It's like people believing in santa claus.
Religion manifests itself like this in the US, but if the US was in the same situation as the Middle East, these would be the suicide bombers.

Ofcourse i am. Believing that a guy walked on water is the same as believing in Santa.
That's the way all religion is.
What's with the eu hate?

I care because this goes against the way of modern science, and they are acting against progress. And, as i said earlier "Religion manifests itself like this in the US, but if the US was in the same situation as the Middle East, these would be the suicide bombers."

And if your aunt had nuts, you'd have an uncle...

WTF is your point? That Americas has some people with extreme religious beliefs? No way! Really???

I could just as easily say that if your country was in the same situation as the middle east, YOU would be one of those suicide bomb bastards blowing up little children. And my statement would be just as accurate (and completely worthless) as yours.

So what if it goes against modern science. Do you believe in this theory? No. Do others might believe in it? yes. It's called freedom of expression, and the 1st Amendment. Again, you're trying to make the whole United States to accept what you think is right and restrict what you think is stupid. This is called censorship. Welcome to a dictatorship. You might be a liberal too.
Interesting.
And there NEVER will be Christian suicide bombers so don't even try to bring up a possibility of that.

So if I understand you correctly what you call "modern science" is really nothing more than your version of religion. You are shocked that some would hold what you obviously consider heretical views opposite of your own.

No, I just think for the most part all people suck in general.

My point is this: who gets to decide who is or isn't "extreme"? You? Me? The Pope?

As long as these "extremists" are keeping to themselves, aren't hurting anyone else, and aren't forcing others to believ elike wise... why the hell should I care? In fact, I wish more "extremists" were like them...

Well, modern science is the observation of facts and drawing of conclusions from that.
Their denial of facts is what scares me.

They are brainwashing their kids, and they are not sticking to themselves, abortion, stemcell research and ID, are all things they're trying to affect.
Extreme is someone who is so devoted to the faith that they deny any evidence to the contrary.
That is what it means to be an extremist.

[edit]
And the pope is extreme, you know, saying stuff like condoms don't work and stuff.
