In reply to the discussion: What REALLY Happened in Gaza is SHOCKING & No One's Allowed to Talk About it [View all]Beastly Boy
(12,665 posts)I would say that 42% of Americans also believe in creationistm (https://news.gallup.com/poll/170822/believe-creationist-view-human-origins.aspx). I would say fuck the 42%. I would say that the 42% does not create any sense of obligation on the 58% majority that do not believe in creationism.
I would certainly not clutch my peals screaming of the horrors of them expressing their beliefs that have no reflection in reality, nor do their beliefs dictate any prospects of them becoming a matter of foreign policy of the US. Just because 42% says the world is 10,000 years old, the world does not suddenly become 10,000 years old. Their beliefs, which they have every right to express, are not horrifying at all. By contrast, it is the countries like Afghanistan, that actually codify and enforce religious dogma, that are horrifying.
Of course, there is no such thing as ethnic Canadians with no sovereign rights to the territory under US occupation and at the risk of being annexed, with or without having equal rights, so your analogy is... well, no comment.
