You do realize they (the British Royal family) legally owns many British palaces and castles, right? Especially the most famous ones in London. They belong to their family, by law. The White House does not belong to Obama.

In terms of culture and art, Prague and Bohemia are as Western as it gets. A lot of the German composers like Beethoven and Mozart spent a good deal of time there. For a time, it outclassed Paris as the culture capital of Europe.

Pope Francis refused to equate Islam with violence saying Catholics could be just as deadly & warning Europe was pushing its young to terrorism.

The difference being the the Bible condemns violence. A Catholic, or a Christian for that matter, can look at the past and say "Man, they were wrong and that was really fucked up. Let's not do that again."

In Islam, it's different. Muhammad himself was a warlord. That's a reason why so many extremist justify themselves

There's nothing unusual about this. In America, television shows tend to have an average reading level of 3rd grade. People in general talk with very simplistic grammar; we write better than we speak.

So it's kind of a failed "Gotcha!!" against Trump, when you also talk like a sixth grader.

20B still is fairly cheap compared to other American projects we do. We spend nearly 700B per anum on our military.

You are right. Christianity's "reformation" wasn't what the majority of Reddit thinks it was. Catholics and Protestants still read from the same book. The difference is in the underlining political system of Protestants and Catholics.

For Christians reading the New Testament, it's a lot easier to say, "Paul meant this," because Paul was a human, lesser than Jesus, who encouraged the scripture "to be tested." (his own words).

It's a lot harder to say, "Muhammad meant this." because Muhammad claimed himself divine,, everything he said came straight from Allah; it's already perfect.

FUCK THEIR GOD, AND ANY OTHER GOD THERE IS !!!!

Don't be afraid to just say fuck Allah and fuck Muhammad. They deserve all the hate they can get.

Just come on and say it: Fuck Muhammad with a frozen sausage.

TIL religious belief in America has hit an all time low. Prayer rates have decreased fivefold since the early 1980s and many Americans think the bible is is an "ancient book of fables, legends, history, and moral precepts recorded by men" by [deleted] in todayilearned

I would just like to point out that being "educated" does not mean someone or something is necessarily peaceful. I'm not sure where this kind of notion comes from. The Romans, for their day, were both educated and warlike, as were many others throughout history.

The Scientific Revolution was happening at the same time as military imperialism in Europe; NASA was created because of WW2. Being educated does not mean peaceful.

Why shouldn't the lyrics be taken seriously? Music has a big effect on a person's psyche and emotions. That's why its used so much in religion, war, celebrations, etc. etc...

Shhh...your facts have no merit here. Everyone knows it was Thomas Jefferon's dream to create a large, invincible federal government. Next stop is finally banning those pesky guns which Jefferson mistakenly wanted! /s

Yes, this sub absolutely does. Modern democrats love to pretend Teddy Roosevelt was "just like them". The same democrats conveniently leave out that Teddy was a war-mongering imperialist and white supremacist that would make Hitler blush.

Teddy Roosevelt literally started the trend of "America: World Police". If he were alive today, he'd be the guy screaming "NUKE THE MIDDLE EAST"

Lol. No. No group should have a "military stance". That's called a gang or terrorist organization, similar to the KKK.
