I blame church being so unbelievably boring. The bible is a boring read, church is a chore... there has to be a better way to brain wash people.

The Church should pay Bioware to make RPGs telling bible stories. They might even get new recruits going that route.

You must miss the point of the unleaven bread. Unleaven bread is boring and unattractive just like doing the right thing in a lot of cases.

Well doing the right thing isn't always "boring" or "unattractive". For example, this morning I killed some terrorists. Then I made sweet love to my wife. I assume thats what God wants me to be doing.

Church and reading the bible on the other hand always feels like a form of torture.

what would have america is to incorporate lessons about the worlds history in their history class.

You mean to say they don't???


yup, unless im mistaken, maybe private schools have that, but from what i know public schools only teach the history of america. i dont live in the us but i have many classmates who lived their and they told me about it.

But the history of America is so short??? Don't they at least study about what happened up until America was discovered and colonised (you know, all those things that happened in Europe)?


exactly, i dont why they dont incorporate it.

Now, but Homer's line in that clip does reflect a common attitude over there.

Doesn't surprise me that Atheists did so well. Neither does it surprise me that Jews and Mormons did well. They're probably masters of compartmentalising j/k...
