Society, sure. But, American culture? How so?
I'm glad you asked. I humored the idea for the sake of this thread, but I don't think American culture actually does exist. There is rural southern culture, urban culture, western culture, eastern culture, middle american culture, etc. I can't think of a significant number of things that would support the idea of a single American culture.What do you consider things that define American culture?
Don't know about you but i feel threatened by people with guns. Murder is just the end result
Sorry Pat Robertson and Phil Chalmers!
Dear Phil Chalmers:
Phil Chalmers compares women who dress in skimpy clothing to pickup trucks.
I love the cheerleaders!
The ****** heroes in the "violent" video games and movies!
and science and technology!
I also like shooting guns and supporting Israel. I appreciate the military.
Would evangelicals be horrified if this is the average Republican?
People with guns do not bother me. People with hate in their hearts are far more deadly. People with hate in their hearts and guns are deadly. People with hate on their hearts and nail bombs strapped to their chest are even deadlier.
But that is not what the threat is apparently. The threat is against "muh culture". So yeah take it up with the OP.

Should i worry for you?
And people with a truck loaded with Semtex or ammonium nitrate can also do a lot of damage. Of course you need not be muslim to get a truck and explosives. Eric Robert Rudolph comes to mind, or the ira. And anti abortionists who intimidate by fear and commit murder also cause damage because of hate
I have heard that the homosexual community is more accepted in the middle east than by evangelical Christians in America.
Evangelical Christians are not a high bar to reach.OK I looked at this and actually you are right. But American Muslims are more accepting than evangelical Christians.
Oh really?
Muslims 'accept homosexuality more than evangelical Christians'
OK I looked at this and actually you are right. But American Muslims are more accepting than evangelical Christians.
I was chatting just last night at the stupidity/frustration of trying to say there is a single collective American culture, and that Americans all act the same way. Saying things such as "This is America and we are x," or "We are Americans and we speak English."I'm glad you asked.

Alright thanks it was probably a bad link.Honestly its probably about the same when you look at just the fundamentalist. If you compare of all Christianity vs All of Islam. Christianity is by far more accepting.
How many LGBT Mosque are there? At most a handful. I could only find proof of one online.
Welcome to Berlin’s “liberal” mosque—where burqas are banned, and men and women pray together
Where as gay christians have there own website that will help you find one of the 8,200 Christian churches that are either LGBT congregation or LGBT affirming.

Really, the only thing that is American culture is that we are a very diverse and heterogeneous group of people, ethnically, religiously, ideologically, and though we've long struggled to ensure the civil equality of all involved and proper humane treatment of all, those very ideas were written down into the very soul of American culture.
I think it will be ok in the end. Once everyone calms down and become rational again.
If by accepting you mean whipping, throwing them off buildings, decapitation, torture and stoning to death. If thats the case the middle east is the most progressive place on the planet!
LGBT rights in Saudi Arabia - Wikipedia
Nice thought but not happened before, why should it happen now.
Cherry pickling again?
Homosexuality is legal in Bahrain, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.
It appears not to be a muslim religious taboo but a local cultural one
Everything you describe applies to Conservative Christians. Of course others do fit the bill, but overall, the group around here that consistently hits them all are Fundamentalist/Conservative Christians. It most certainly wasn't a Buddhist or Pagan or Hindu being "concerned" about having to work with someone like me in the work place.There are regressives that want segregation based on ethnicity/gender/sexual orientation/religion and all other identities. They are violent, closed minded bigots that reject the very idea of freedom. They go after peoples jobs and livelihood for the crime of wrong think. These regressives are the greatest threat to american culture.
