Sure you don't mention Jesus but, correct me if I'm wrong but Billy Graham is a Christian minister.  I didn't mention anything about born-again because I know nothing about.  I know only one person who claims to be born-again and I hope that he is not an example of what born again is.

More people died in those wars because the entire European theatre was involved.  Right now the war is isolated to Afganistan but if the war were to spread beyond those borders, there could very well be as many deaths as in WWI and WWII.

You say that the bible is not taught in school and the bible says thou shall not kill and thou shall not steal.  As far as I know that is also written in the American laws.  Why isn't law taught in school or responsibility for ones actions?  These are ideas that transcend religion.

What about the American law that allows for the right to bear arms?  Isn't that a bigger factor in the huge homicide rate in the States than the bible?

Why should I hit my kids?  That only teaches them that the solution to problems is physical violence and domination.  As for Benjamin Spock's son, I didn't know this story.  But did he commit suicide because his dad never hit him or he was a victim of clinical depression?

As for pornography and violence in the movies, we have the right to shut them out and off.  If enough people chose not to see these things then there would be no market.  I don't buy these magazines or see these movies.  I have made the choice not to and isn't that what America is all about?  Freedom of choice?
