I think the Germans are more concerned with Fußball and Käsekrainer than attacking France and starting WW3.

I would say that the relationship between the U.S. and Russia is eroding and Putin represents the biggest threat to U.S. National Security (and this not only for the cool relations with Russia itself, but the disagreements in how Russia supports Iranian nuclear efforts)

As I stated earlier, I think Russia is our biggest threat, if not directly, but indirectly by supporting our enemies and arming them under the table.

I agree with BushOklahoma in that I welcome different cultures and religions.  My first theology professor at school (a priest at a monastery) believed wholeheartedly that all the faithful would go to heaven.  The idea is that none are denied heaven if they choose to seek it... even after death... which is the point of praying for those that have recently died.

He believed that you were in the darkness upon death, and if you were a faithful believer in life, God's light would be apparent and you would immediately go towards it, but that for those that were not faithful and evil in life, the light would be very dim and far away... and that you would spend eternity seeking the light and never finding it.. which is hell. 

It is the main purpose of All Saints Day.. to pray for all souls that they might find God.

Then again, I also sat through mass with a priest that told me I could take communion even though I'm not Catholic and he basically blessed a bottle of wine he got at the grocery store and split up a kaiser roll...

So, yeah.. it was a liberal Monastery.  (but one of hte largest in the world, with 180 monks)
