'cause I live in a cozy little country where Evolution is taught at every schools and the evil fundies have to keep their mouth shut and behave.

Where being atheist actually is a desired quality for the presidency and other ruling bodies.

Where public speeches NEVER begin/end with "God bless bla bla, Be with God bla bla, Let's pray bla bla"

Where Asscroft is thousands of miles away. 8)

The Catholic Church simply does not bother Europeans as much as your own bothers you

He's a patriarch (Patriarch of Constantinople) and I think he's elected by the higher ups in the Orthodox church. Used to be appointed by the Byzantine Emperor but seeing how that hasn't happened in 400 years...
