I am an atheist, not a Christian. And you're a big doodyhead, so I win.
Here's another hilarious one that popped out at me as I was re-reading the thread:
> Um, people loved us until Teddy rosevelt decided it would be a good idea to start fucking with people
Who are these people? Do you mean the British, who invaded us in 1812 and threatened war in 1863 because the US Navy seized British merchant vessels carrying weapons to the Confederacy? Do you mean the French and Spanish, who were likewise so morally horrified by slavery that they spent the Civil War doing a very profitable business selling arms to the Confederates?
Or are you talking about the period after the war? Here, have a look at European attitudes toward the US during the Victorian Era:
That's "Shooting Niagara," by one Thomas Carlyle, 1867.
So, please explain to me, who "loved us?" Who EVER "loved" America, other than maybe certain Western European powers who found themselves in need of rescue from the Germans? And how many minutes did their deep and abiding affection last once the shooting stopped?
Who are "they?" The Barbary Pirates, perhaps? The Newfoundland Privateers? Who?
