Poll: If God had a nationality, what would it be?
- Thread starter JoJo
- Start date
if you are talking western christianity (catholic+protestant) in regards of historical impact -> either former Holy Roman Empire or Italy (North only)
Anglican Christianity and most of the protestant branches (those after Luther,Calvin, Zwingli...) are pretty much the new kid on the block here...
the orthodox group is pretty obvious -> greek and maybe russian, no question

Take a look at the Bible. Full of dark humour, plagues, raining for 40 days, terrible food, markets in the church, taxmen, not touching fruit...
English, through and through.

Oh, I do apologize, here I was, thinking jokes were funny, not nonsensical nationalistic flagwanking. I'll have to watch that now, thanks for pointing out the difference, since I'd always assumed that there was more than one appearance for something such as 'English' or 'German'. Good thing you fixed that, huh? Could have gone my whole life thinking most anyone could become a citizen of a nation.JoJoDeathunter said:
But then again, trolling and badly delivered sarcasm tend to get mixed up, don't they? Especially in a way that is completely interpreted by the reader. So, like I said--troll begets troll. That bit slip your eye, did it?
Yeah, I'm not going to answer this either. It's not that I'm really offended or anything, being a Christian, but the only thing I can see this poll doing beside a few laughs is fuel unnecessary arguments.
Furthermore, also being a supporter of the Big Bang theory means that I believe God has been there since even before the creation of the universe (the Bible will tell you the same) and thus before the existence of Earth and that these borders drawn on maps would just seem like puny devisions to him, which resulted from human pride long after those countries were even formed by continental shift (the Bible will not tell you that).
As far as the nationalities are concerned, I don't understand why you'd first state that it was a shame that there weren't 200 poll options and then went and split a nationality into 2. In fact, the entire thing smacks of a western perspective, but even such a perspective should be able to see the difference between India and China, rather than grouping them together as "East Asia" (among others).
And then there's the fact that you chose for "English" as a nationality even though it is no longer legally recognised as such and "British" would have been more inclusive. And that leaves pretty much only 2 actual nationalities in this poll.
So like I said, no, I will not be answering, as I think it is unnecessary, provoking and rife with mistakes.
And since I'm busy reprimanding you anyway, I thought I'd mention that I find your second paragraph offencive (no, not because I need my "humour-detectors" checked, but because pinpointing such groups as "heretics" is, even for a laugh, not very respectful of those people's religions).

The monotheistic god was dreamed up in the middle east, so I'd assume that would be his nationality.
Canadian, definitely. Without the shadow of a doubt, as he is polite and caring, like any Canadian.
And he gives free healthcare.
