A question for science? Is Liberalism a religion?

Woberts

The Perfumed Seneschal
Mister Non-Specific
here's my list of ten Capitalist countries I am happy to live in - in order of preference
Australia (mine)
New Zealand
USA
England
Canada
France
Germany
Sweden
Denmark
Norway

and ten Communist countries you must prefer
former Soviet Union
East Germany
Bulgaria
Poland
China
Vietnam
Cambodia
Cuba
North Korea
Laos

Which country would you prefer to live in?
I speak Russian, so I would be ok with the Soviet Union.
Vietnam and Laos were ravaged by America, so probably not.
The DPRK is being sanction for no conceivable reason by most of the world, so not that one.
Poland and Bulgaria would be fine.
Same with China.
Still, nothing can beat Cuba and its long and storied revolutionary history.
Nothing, that is, except early 1900's Russia.
So either early 1900's Russia or Cuba.

I believe America "ravaged" Japan too, and Germany.
I have friends who love Cuba - seeing the old cars
and such is fine, but they wouldn't want to live there
with its poverty and human rights issues.
Love to see Russia, but I aint living in any Communist
country where you queue for shoddy goods, have people
spying on you, and keep your mouth firmly shut.

Again, this isn't a school debate. You're rambling.

Team A on the Religiousforums - "You are rambling"
Team B on the Religiousforums - "No, you are rambling"

Same thing. Lack of specificity, ad hominems, shouting
down the opposition and all other due process of stating
a point and logical fallacies are forms of weakness.

Aye, they did. They weren't communist countries, so they would've been excluded from the list.

*cough cough* McCarthyism *cough cough*

Yes, McCarthy had eighty million killed ... wait, that's
Mao wasn't it? "Uncle Mao", beloved of Western academics
to the day he died.

... how many DID McCarthy end up killing? How long did
he rule over America?

As an aside. I mentioned the killings of Lenin to a guy
once and answered simply, "Rasputin."
As if to say, Lenin's rule was preferable to Rasputin's
influence over the royal family of Russia.
Same thing as your McCarthy isn't it?

Since you deliberately ignore almost all of my challenges, questions and arguments and only seem to respond to the odd sentence, it's pretty obvious who out of the two of us isn't debating in good faith and isn't debating reasonably.

Look outside, seek and observe.
Liberalism is more than just a religion, it's an outright cult and a deeply troubling psychological disorder.
