USA sees itself as a religious country. Can't be the same Bible that they read elsewhere. I remember passages about "Any man who has two shirts should give one to a man who has none". The American version: "Any man who has two shirts should strive to get a billion - also at the expense of those who have none".

Or what about the condemnation of the dance around the golden calf (read: adulation of money)?

Is there anything more American than the adulation of money?

As to porn: Turn on American TV and you'll see people murdered, butchered, hacked to pieces in every conceivable way - it's called entertainment. But - oh - show a bit of tit and ass - and the whole country is in uproar.
