Is this actually about a belief system or the protection of the agency that promotes this faith? If this agency is so afraid of knowledge, that they would turn it’s adherents against those who seek knowledge, wouldn’t that be proof that the agency is more afraid that the truth found wouldn’t be theirs?
I'm confused I.J., are you conflating as I assume that you are, the U.S. Government with the predominant religion xtianity? And further that this union is actively preventing it's citizens from learning and researching the facts concerning World affairs a la' your YouTube video ( Jay Leno's street walking bit)? Why not just shut down all access to education, except for a chosen few, or only allow males to receive a nominal education before shipping them off to join the military. I believe your post speaks to political and religious indoctrination not to a nation that allows for
Any religious belief, or the right to remain completely ignorant of World affairs. is this display disgraceful and embarrassing? Absolutely. Was it cherry picking, we may never know. There could have been hundreds of interviews where the responses to the pointed questions were spot on and those were conviently left out. What the video does prove is that the interviewees we're ignorant of World Geography and politics. I believe that every American should read, research and be fully aware of World events, economics and local, state and national politics, but many couldn't care less. This is unfortunately one of the downsides to a democratic state that allows it's citizens to discard anything that doesn't directly affect their lives, or so they think. You can't make people learn, at least not here.
