Big difference between thinking of loyalty to a denomination of Christianity (or Judaism for that matter) first and the US second vs other groups. The country was founded on principles consistent with their beliefs, so they are really doing both at the same time to a large extent, not so much other groups. (In fact the similarity between loyalty to Christian principles and the US are so similar that the responses themselves might be skewed. The survey is also being taken at a time when distrust/dislike of government is at an all time high, and as Obama said, they will cling to their bibles).
Now Willbur, you made one good post the other day that I liked. But you have returned to your old ways here. The distinction you're trying to draw here is just plain silly. Is it being made in order to legitimise Islamophobia? That's what it looks like.
I was under the impression that all Christians were expected to put God's laws ahead of temporal laws if there was a clash. This is what I was taught at a Catholic school. The nuns represented to me then as official Church doctrine. So I have no reason to believe this has changed.
So where is the search for the Unassimilated Catholic? Why isn't the FBI and Homeland Security out looking for them?
Tweak, "islamophobia?" Are you trying to say that people are "afraid" of them now?
