#1) America is completely addicted to pornography:
America believes in free enterprise. The majority of Americans aren't addicted to porn. Those who are, however, buy a lot of it. And, for the record,
Europe has an large porn industry.
#2) America has killed over 40 million babies through abortion:
I have no reason to doubt this figure. However, I also have no reason to doubt that the worldwide figure is greater than the American. But you're
free to spin it however you want.
#3) America is now tolerating gay marriage:
What exactly is your point? And how does that make us evil?
#4)America has totally accepted the theory of Darwinian "Evolution" even though the actual science clearly shows that there was a Creator:
So you're of the belief that the two can't co-exist together? How open-minded of you.
#6)America is using immoral depleted uranium weapons:
So do a lot of other countries. If you think America is the only one, then you're incredibly naive.
#7)America's national debt is almost 10 TRILLION dollars:
You're the only person I've ever known who bases evil on the amount of money you owe. That is so absolutely ludicrous, it warrants no further
discussion.
#8)Child abuse, especially child sexual abuse, has become a national epidemic in America:
Actually, it's become an international epidemic. But, again, you're free to spin it however you want.
#9)Divorce is at record levels, and it is as common in the church as it is in the broader society:
So if you get a divorce, then you're evil and wicked? My mother is evil and wicked then, is that it? I assure you that will not find a stronger
Christian on this planet than my mother. Move out of the Dark Ages and join us in the 21st Century.
#10)The greed of America is absolutely stunning:
Perhaps. But not as stunning as your ignorance and complete lack of logic.
#11)Adultery and fornication are practically the national sports of America, and that has resulted in an explosion of STDs:
Greece actually has the most sex in the world, with 87% of respondents to a poll indicating that they have sex at least once a week.
(
www.gadling.com...) As for STDs, the U.S. does have the highest rate for developed countries.
However, that is declining due to a renewed rise in contraceptive use.
#12)Murder is so common in the United States that it is a joke to the rest of the world:
It is? Well, if it's a joke, then who's laughing?
#13)False religions are exploding in America at a rate that is mind blowing:
Yeah...about that. See, we have this thing we like to call "Freedom of Religion." Sorry if you don't like it, but it seems to work for us.
#14)America is destroying the environment of the world:
Really? Just America? Here's a list of the countries with the highest pollution...
1. Chernobyl, Ukraine
2. Dzerzhinsk, Russia
3. Haina, Dominican Republic
4. Kabwe, Zambia
5. La Oroya, Peru
6. Linfen, China
7. Maiuu Suu, Kyrgyzstan
8. Norilsk, Russia
9. Ranipet, India
10. Rudnaya Pristan/Dalnegorsk, Russia

Please point to where is says "United States"
#15)Meanwhile, the church in America is a complete mess and they don't even understand the basics of the Christian faith anymore:
That's a church problem, not an American problem.
I find this thread an insult to my intelligence. It is precisely the reason why so many people worldwide have turned from the Catholic Church. These
views anciently dogmatic and have absolutely no relevance in the contemporary world. Thank you. Goodbye.
