Denmark isn't in scandinavia.

[they don't love you like i love you]

This guy can believe that, fine. But then he's not a Christian and should not claim to be so.

Same thing with Bishop Spong. I agree with the guy on lots of things, most political issues and fundamentalism. But he should quit saying he's a Christian.

Denmark isn't in scandinavia.

Scandinavia is made up by three Nations; Sveden, Norway and Denmark.
But sometimes it is used as a synonym for "Norden", which is Scandinavia plus Finland, Iceland, Faroe and Greenland.

Clearly, denmark is not in the same geographical area sweden and norway are.

I believe there is some abutting border between Denmark and Sweden.

No but we share a very closed culture and languages (many linguist believe the three scandinavian languages to be dialects of the same east-Nordic language)

Every single definition of Scandinavia out there includes Denmark.

I consider Scandinavia to be Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Iceland. Yes - Iceland. But that's just me and my strange ways.

I agree Cashcow.  These others are just nitpickers. 

Anyway, this man mentioned in the link is great!  Down with Christianity!

Ragnar and the rest is right. Scandinavia is a term populized in midt 19th century and is the geografical defined area for the idea "Scandinavism" bacially the notion that the three Scandinavian countries share a special bond based on closely related languages, Danish, Swedish and "Bookmaal" East Norwegian the East Scandinavian languages(Icelandic, West Norwegian and Faroe language is West Scandinavian), culture and religion.
And for the majority of the existance of Denmark we shared a land border with Sweden, until the loss of Scania in 1658

Actually you're right, thats exactly what I think, maybe with Greenland included. Bono was wrong at the beginning of this thread, Denmark is in Scandanavia.

I remember this article from a while ago when it was in the Times (NY). the link seems to say August 2003, which makes me wonder why it was brought up now. Kansas aside, the Denmark story is 2 years old.

All but the purely geographical ones...Denmark is on what I might call the Western European peninsula, not the Scandinavian peninsula. (Well, the mainland part.)
Of course, it's a Scandinavian country anyways.

This guy can believe that, fine. But then he's not a Christian and should not claim to be so.

and most (lutheran) people in Denmark outside his parish would agree with you.
