They are starting to question the fundamental Christian beliefs that have served us so well over the years, in the light of certain events which seem to indicate that Christianity is no longer working.

Recent incidents like this one, this one and this one demonstrate that Christianity is failing us as a nation when it comes to instilling even the most basic moral values.

The question raised by all this, is should the USA continue trying to mold Christianity into something relevant to today's depraved modern world, or is it time to try something else ?

For me, there are really only two great religions which are up to the task:

On the one hand, there is the modern religion of Scientology which would seem to sit well with the technology driven world we live in. It offers a full audit of one's personality, and seems to be quite professional, and up with the times. Probably quite appealing to 'geeks' and 'nerds'.

On the other hand, the moral collapse of this great nation of ours can possibly only be saved by a religion which is less forgiving, and a bit more prepared to lay down moral standards than Christianity. That religion is Islam.

Scientology seems at first sight like a good choice but I think Islam pips it at the post (primarily due to its hard line on criminals).

Now, it might seem like a very bold step to change your religious belief systems just like that at the drop of a hat. But think about it. 90% of Americans simply adopt the religion of their parents, with no critical thought process whatsoever. You would not buy a ford car simply because your Father drove one. And you certainly would not wear a dress (if you were male) just because your mother wore one. It is simply inertia.

I propose that a law should be introduced, making Islam the official religion of the USA. And that steps be taken toward introducing a system of 'Sharia' to our prisons and courts.

I know some people might find it heavy going at first, but is is abundantly clear the USA has lost its moral compass. Forced conversion to Islam by all American citizens would seem to offer an expeditious and attractive way out of our spiritual and cultural vaccuum.

Imagine how many current moral debates could be solved by Islamic punishment. Those criminals at NAPSTER would be among the first to suffer forced amputation for theft.

I could go on, but I am more interested in what YOU have to say on this very imporatant issue.
