    Minor adjustment - they are all swedes or norwegians, that is members of old danish provinces,
    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

      Swedes and Norweigians are both Scandinavians, last I checked.

        Of course they are, but there are others that are Scandinavians that may not want to be included in your claim

            @BlackCat: The reason they hate Sweden isn't porn (on which I suppose we're one of the least liberal countries in Europe), but that pastor Ã…ke Green was dragged to court for spewing homophobic bile.

            Anyway, I'd think an American group mocking the sacrifice of American soldiers has a pretty low life expectancy.

              At first I thought the opening post was an Onion article and a not very funny one at that.

                Well they survived this...

                After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Phelps' group went to New York City to protest the rescue efforts going on there, mocking victims as they were taken from the rubble, shouting obscenities at rescue workers, and demanding that those still alive be left to die. Phelps reasoned that God had caused the terrorist attacks as a punishment for tolerance of homosexuality, and that it was God's will that those who suffered in the attacks should die. Signs carried at the Ground Zero site included, "THANK GOD FOR SEPT. 11", "FDNY SIN (with a picture of stick-figures engaged in anal sex)", "NYPD FAGS (with a picture of stick-figures engaged in anal sex)", "YOUR PENTAGON IS SQUARE", and "TOWERS CRASH, GOD LAUGHS".

                  America seems woefully short on violent psychos.

                        Domain disabled?

                        Frredom of speech is one thing, but isn't there a law or something against agitating against a defined group of people?

                        Damn, this group is sowing the seeds of sympathy towards america in me, and I don't like it.

                          No reall immidiate connection with all this but I wonder if in any place of the world organized religion isn't a conservative force.

                              In 19th century England evangelism was a liberal force, advocating universal suffrage, abolition, women's rights and worker's rights. Even in the US evangelists were major proponents of abolition, women's rights, and child labor laws.
