    Now I think the latest permutation of this need to feel pure and civilized has included just….all “non Americans,” including any foreigners they don’t consider “proper and civilized.”

    If this is true, then I wonder how much the war on terror has contributed to this.

    It doesn’t answer the questions “Why am I here? What is my purpose?” beyond like…their death, which is forever away.

    I don’t think that’s true, because non-Western Christians don’t have this problem while atheist white Americans do.

      Fair point. I don’t know much about non-Western Christians. But the ones that made it to American shores have definitely seemed to fit.

      And the War on Terror definitely contributed to the culture of “foreigners are evil animals.”
