Religions, belief systems cannot be presented with facts. The only evidences are provided by results of people's lives, way of their thinking, way of their behavior. On that scale rating, in my life I have not met worst people than "Jesus-Freaks". Those Christians are the most afraid, scared, greedy, judgmental, spiteful people I ever met. I have met Muslims, they are saints compare to the Christians I met. I met Wiccans their lives and reflection of thoughts are far long beating Christians, just like Buddhists and Atheists. No facts or proves, but as Jefferson said: "For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be judged.” And that is how I look at it.
As for me. No religion there. Nothing we could name anyway. My life started to get better immediately I threw Christianity out on the window in 2000. The next 8 years was going up on the hill. Then 2008 I got a bad hit, I messed up a few things and gone down on a spiral, my gf broke up with me I almost married to, lost most of my investment on wall street and lost my job eventually. And now things getting better again. But it has nothing to do with God. Anything I every achieved or lost in my life was fully my own responsibility and only I can get credit or blame for that. If I believe in something, that's me.
But again everyone finds their path. There is NOT only one way to true happiness. Many. So people choose whatever they feel comfortable with. You choose your way I choose mine, no one has to convince anyone. Without facts.
As for USA, well it's a country with people in it. Nothing special. It's a place to live and die (although I'm not sure about the last one), and if things turn out the way that I won't feel good here anymore, I'll just leave. There are 190+ countries in the world and I lived only in 3 so far. If the hatred and the so called "patriotism" will keep going the way like this, with that deeply arrogant attitude that USA is the greatest nation and every other countries are insignificant, I'll move to Mexico or Canada. I have been thinking of Peru too. Beautiful country.
Fortunately there are still a lot of people here who are able to look at others as a human being, without labeling them by country or origin, so it's still fine. As it's been said: "You can't choose where to born, but you can choose where to live." And I stay where I am happy :) If things are happy here, I love it. But most importantly I love peace... and miss it often.
