Fundamentalist Protestant Christian Fundamentalists who promote the New Testament fundamentals have been among the majority in nations which are the most free, prosperous and blessed over all. The US has traditionally been the free place to which most immigrants have desired to go.
Except that fundies are not even now in the majority in the US, and were at even a lower percentage before the last half-century or so. The Methodists, Episcopalians, Congregationalists, and others like them were the politically/culturally dominant sects, not the Luddites, Campbellites, Southern Baptists, and JW's.
So your argument is stillborn, Buz.
leading to the demise of the American dream for us all, as history attests.
What the fuck are you talking about?

Re: Jesus On Sharing
I'm not denying that non-fundi groups do not help these days. I'm talking by and large, historically.
Then, again, you are talking out your ass. The NON-fundy churches were the ones, in the United States for sure, that did the bulk of the charity work back before Franklin Roosevelt. You hardly ever see "St. Vitus's Pentecostal Holiness Hospital." Methodist? Yup. Presbyterian? Check. Catholic? Lots of 'em.
You are Making Stuff Up, Buz.

Re: Jesus On Sharing
Where's your evidence for those assertions, Coragyps?
In the telephone book. Yellowpages.com would also work.
