Aren't Americans being anti-Christian when they buy America first, depriving out brothers in poorer countries?

Religion and patriotism are two entirely different things, especially in America.

Yes I am, and I don't appreciate the dirty tricks squads from their people. All the scandals in the name of Capitalistic Religion. Our forefathers knew best about separation of church and State, and it would keep America from falling into a Fascist Dictatorship, lead by a false Religion. Capitalism is not a Religion of the Lord, it's just the opposite of. It's says you can't follow two masters and be tuned into the Lord.

I guess it comes from people being hypocrites.Have you ever noticed people in the Middle East are always mad at the U.S. for meddling in their affairs but when they need help who is the first country they turn to.The U.S.!\nBTW I'm Canadian.I don't think Americans are "evil",some of their foreign policies are misguided though.

Okay, I must say that stupid responses by stupid people (American or otherwise) only gets people angry.  How do you people expect to earn any sort of respect from the other side if you say stupid things?  Now, on with the answer to your question.\n\nHowever, you will need to know a little about American history first.\n\nAmerica was founded as a Christian country.  Christian values include the freedom to do whatever you want, as long as it was morally okay with God.  However, as America became more technologically advanced and more "educated", we have become less dependent on God (and therefore have fewer morals).  The first and most important in American values now is that everyone should be free to do whatever they want, whenever they want.\n\nSo throughout American history, American has fought against countries and governments who oppress their people (Vietnam, Korea).  They also have fought against countries who threaten to harm others who have done nothing wrong (Germany, Japan, Italy in WWII).  American kind of became the world's policeman for freedom or "injustice."\n\nSo now, onto Israel.  America feels that Israel, which is a democratic nation, has been attacked and threatened by Arab countries.  America feels it must defend countries that are democratic, where people have freedom of choice.  That's why it has supported Israel.\n\nAnother example, American has said it would defend Taiwan if China were to take back that country.  China is communist.  Taiwan is a democratic republic.  However, China says that Taiwan is a rebel province.\n\nAmerica has said that North Korea is one of the "Axis of Evil" countries--but so far Korea has not threatened war with anyone.\n\nOn the other hand, Iran has said before that it supports Hamas, and said it wants to destroy Israel.  The US feels that they cannot allow Iran to have nuclear abilities because they do not trust that they will not use it against Israel.  And again, the US supports democracies, wherever they are.\n\nOf course, it is much more complicated than this, but that is the general idea.\n\nAs far as leaving Iraq, I don't think they can until there is stability in that country.  I don't think that will be anytime soon.  I think it was a huge mistake to go to war with Iraq.  There was no reason to go to war in Iraq.  They went to war in Iraq based on WRONG INFORMATION.  However, if America was just to leave without fixing it, that would make it worse than it is now.\n\nPolitics is very complex.  I know, you as a Muslim see things differently.  I know that Muslims have faced many atrocities too.  I can understand where you are coming from also.  As for something you can do, I really don't know though.  I suppose prayer is one thing.

In the bible people did as the lord command them to do.  It was a different age and time then.  God no longer speaks to us except to our hearts.  I do not like war of any kind because the result is always death and grief.  However, at times war is going to happen because Americans are hated by everyone, even though we are always the one helping out other countries, coming to their aide in times of great despair and natural disasters, giving them food, shelter, medical equipment,  money,education etc.....I think its unfair to say Christians somehow justify war.  We put are faith in God and pray  for the best outcome.  No one wants to see a war or death.  However America needs to let people know we are not going to be pushed around by terrorist and those guys believe that their God is telling them to kill.  Which it's not God at all.  Man makes the decisions now to go to war by their actions not God.  But to me it is ungodly to sit back and watch a man, kill, rape, torture and kill his own people for his own power and selfish desires.

Because not everyone in this country is a Christian. And last I checked, we still had the First Amendment.

If you look around at the christian majority, so few of us are really christian at all. \nWe profess to follow, but refuse to act, speak, give or conduct business in a way that would reflect the teachings of Christ.\nAmerica is into catch phrases and fads. The newest trend, the latest tech, get rich quick, or seek the pleasures now while your young for tomorrow may not come. All these are the prevalent attitudes that have been around for 2 decades or more. And this amongst the poorest of us.\n\nEven just working for our families can be a struggle not to fall into this sin.\nhow many times do we come home from work and worship, or spend time with God..? Most of us turn on the TV, the computer, or spend the time in something we think of as a pleasurable past time.Most of which cost considerable amounts of money. Broadband, cable & direct TV, Video games, Sports, etc..\nThe short answer is we are more obcessed with our own wants.

No, I do not think it is right at all. Obviously you're talking about the Middle East. You know what America's interference in the Middle East reminds me of? What our forefathers did to the natives...we forced our religion and way of life down their throats and slaughtered all those who didn't comply. And you have to wonder whether or not they were the lucky ones, considering the survivors got disease and alcoholism back for their troubles (I know, that's a generalization, but anyone who knows their history can't deny it!). America- meaning the government- needs to realize once and for all that the rest of the world does not want to be American, or else they would have adopted American culture/system/religion in the first place. I believe that of all the atrocities the Bush administration have committed, treating Muslims like the indians of the 21st Century could very well be the worst.\n\nAnd all these people who are saying America doesn't force religion are way off. What the hell do you think all these Christian aid workers are doing? They're not just handing out aid and comfort- they're handing out bibles as well. I'm a very lapsed Catholic myself, but it drives me nuts when I see people portraying Christianity as completely innocent and perfect. No religion is perfect, nor is any one superior to the others...they're all based on the same myths and legends, people.

I don't understand how this country (US) could be founded on religion when the 1st amendment guarantees the separation of church and state. Politicians who seek votes by professing their religion don't look like idiots to me. To me they come across as being anti-American.

Because America is screwed and it was screwed from the beginning. We always have biased oppinions and the media uses that to it's advantage. Since there are more Christians in America then any other religion, they impinge that into our values. Not to mention America was orignally formed from people who came here to practice their religion freely.

Even though I am a Christian and do not support the Muslim beliefs, I think it would be inaccurate to call them "warfreaks." In a way, I think they are more serious about their faith than we, as Americans, are about our beliefs. \nEven though we as Americans founded this nation on religious freedom, we have managed to corrupt and do away with everything that has something to do with God. We have taken away the Bible and prayer in school, we support things that God destroyed whole cities for doing. Americans lynched, enslaved, and poisoned other Native Americans (who were here before the Europeans, and those of African descent, they crippled (mentally and physically) them and even today there is still discrimination and racial suttle undertones being expressed to the masses.\n\nMuslims torture their athletes if they don't train hard and excel in the races. If you don't do well in school, you probably will be punished among other things.\n\nI think the real warfreaks are draft dodgers with titles behind them and major finances to work with.

Yes, America is hypocritical in allowing some mentions of God in the political space. The reason America gets away with it is because the majority of the population believes in God, so it isn't offensive. I am an atheist and, while the word God doesn't necessarily offend me, it shows that our country is ignorant of other cultures. Which does offend me.

America has a nasty habit of getting involved in matters that do not directly affect us.  This is a huge cause of contention with other nations.  When America is so divided (and not united as promised), they feel that we shouldn't have any right in telling them how to live.  Americans are also very self-involved.  We think of ourselves first and others last.  Americans also tend to think in terms that the world revolves around them not realizing that there are many other cultures out there.  We forget that other countries have different laws and standards than America and generally, Americans just don't care.  This is why other countries have hatred towards Americans and the government.

I despise the stupidity of most of the responses you received up to this point.\nhave any of these ignorant fools ever even opened a bible??\nI was born an ignorant savage, and a heathen by choice but I have had occasion to actually read the bible. To covet is a sin, dont these border jumpers covet what Americans have? to steal is a sin, these border jumpers steal into our country by dishonest means. to lie is a sin, They are living a lie, each day that they remain within the United States.And the bible states" Love thy neighbor as thyself." what kind of neighbors do the American people have?    A sin?, A multitude of sins by my reckoning!
