Artful Dodger: [ So you think this story is representative of the majority of Christian churches across America? ]

I think in V's mind it's either utopia or nothing. Either he doesn't understand that God is not a tyrant, and therefore will not interfer with our decisions, or he actually believes being a tyrant and enforcing what HE thinks is right is more desirable.

One of the main reasons for the rioting by Islamists is that they believe the US government actually sanctions and promotes insulting films and cartoons. Most of them live in countries where you can't make a move or say anything without the government's permission, so they literally don't understand the kind of freedom of speech allowed here in our country... they have lived so long under their own government's thumbs they can't imagine what it's like living any way else. Because of this it's only natural for them to assume that the US government is to blame... it's the only frame of reference they have to work with.
