I am American because I was born in Brazil and it is one of the many countries in America, but I am not a citizen of the United States of America. Your continent is America, not your country. You and some of your forefathers may think god is fundamental, but not everyone. You are making only one mistake and it is the same one made in that school: you are assuming that everyone is exactly like you, thinks exactly like you and believes in the same things. This is not always true and the differences MUST be respected. This is the civilized rule, and it can be found in every monotheistic religion.

<br>I maintain that the mix of god, government, nationality and legality that is understandably present in your mind and feelings has been the cause of several problems in the past. We should all try to avoid repeating them in the future. The past is over, but if we do not learn from it, we will repeat the mistakes.
