    Agree rev.john.. those quotes are wisdom gems...

    Another 'funny' quote from a christian cleric.. shows how 'sectarian belief/religion' is combined as a mean to conquer other people, driven by 'greed'.
    "When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said, "Let us close our eyes and pray." When we opened our eyes we had the Bible and they had the land."
    -- Archbishop Desmond Tutu

    Salam / Peace

    Indeed, it is a great statement. However, it belongs to Kenyatta (Kenya's founder), not Desmond Tutu. I too made the same mistake by attributing it to Desmond Tutu.

    Peace,
    Edip

      That is one of the best things in America, there can be no connection between any religion and the state. Anyone can belong to and practice any religion they want to

      Yeah, I believe in free-dom of religion.

        Great link Edip. It shows that throughout our history, many great minds used their own God given intellect above blind faith to see that Christ's true message was tampered with by scribes/paul/clerics etc whether they realized it or not. They knew something was inherently wrong with 'christian' dogma and canonized scriptures.

              In America you can practice religion, or not practice religion. You can believe whatever religion you want, or you can not believe whatever religion you want. No one is forced to follow/not follow any religious beliefs.

              I don't think there's anything & about that.

                Yes.. and it's 100% aligned with Quranic commandment..

                There are no compulsory in belief, as truth stands out clear from error..
                (2256)

                Additional plus for USA on Quran-O-Meter..

                The saudis government most certainly doesn't follow those Quran commandment, as they put their faith more on hearsays from 'mysterious figures' such as "Father Of The Cat" (Abu Hurayrah) to kill, ban and torture the heretics (Arabic Murtadeen).

                      I never said anything about the USA being aligned with Quran at any percentage.
                      The whole point is, that religion, or lack of religion, should never be forced. In the USA it's not forced.

                                There are times where people / cultures in this region does thing which is actually aligned with the Quranic commandment / message on one or more aspect. Although they NEVER read the Quran.
                                And there are those who READ the Quran but their actions is not aligned to Quran Message.

                                Objectively I would say USA does aligns on some part to some degree to the Quranic message.
                                The Freedom of beliefs is one of them, (formally) abolishing slavery in 19th century is another one.

                                That's where the Quran-O-Meter came into play...
                                And there are no nations ever in this world throughout the history, including those who claimed to be "Islamic", that have really reached 100% on Quran-O-Meter.

                                    Most of these quotes were not about Christianity exclusively. Most were about religions generally. I have to say, I agree with many of them.

                                    Most of these quotes are influenced by Puritan thinking and some were Unitarians
