R&S people, do you live in the US? If yes, can you answer there questions?

Yes, I live in the good ole USA.

1. Yes, I think they would. "Rich in culture"? You don't think the USA is rich in culture?

2. I am not outspoken about my beliefs here. I would not be there, either.

3. Yes. One can always learn.

I would like to ask YOU something.

Would you be willing to acknowledge that some of us are nice people who have something positive to offer society? Would you be willing to admit that not all of us are the scum of the Earth, as many of you seem to feel?

1. If I lived in the USA then later on, went to one of these countries, yes, my beliefs would remain the same. It might not be a bad thing to learn a little more about their beliefs but that doesn't mean I'd follow them. I know they have a good deal of differing religious beliefs than Christian beliefs and I know what is right and what is wrong. Example: If a culture teaches that 2+2=5, I would have learned what their culture believes and teaches but I also know that it's in error and I wouldn't change my belief that the correct answer is 4. 2. Are we talking religious beliefs or social/humanitarian beliefs? I would be outspoken if I saw that what they were doing was criminal behavior. If it was on a religious topic, I'd state my reason for my faith. 3. I think so. It might not be a bad idea to see how the other side lives.

1. I'm a Heathen/Asatruar... basically I follow the Norse Gods. Yes they would remain the same.

2. Yes. My attitude wouldn't change... I would still speak about my beliefs. The cultures being different wouldn't make me be silent (though I wouldn't be running through the streets like an idiot screaming "I'm Asatruar") =)

3. Of course I would be willing to explore life in those countries. Actually, I've always wanted to visit Japan... living there would be awesome (I just don't think my husband could handle it lol)... My son learned to speak Japanese and studied the culture. He is fascinated with Japan.

1 & 2. Yes, I think it would be fascinating to move to another country as a missionary. I think that would be the only reason I would move to a country such as the ones you mentioned. There is an inherent danger going to some countries, because the government doesn't want Christianity to spread within their countries.

3. Yes, part of living in another country is learning their customs and culture to communicate better and to really experience their social life.

1) Yes, but I sucked at languages in school so it kinda kills that.

2) I am not all that outspoken... I try to keep my conversations about my beliefs private, and usually try to explain it rather than preach it (people are interested, so I feed their desire for knowledge).

3) I know that I could learn from them... I don't have to go there. I learned a lot just by going to Australia for a couple weeks, and that's as close to the USA as any other country on the planet gets as far as anything socially.

1. Yes. I know this from experience in two of the cultures you mention.

2. No. I was not. That out of respect, not fear.

3. I learned a lot from my experiences there.

I don't live in the US, but I see no reason why I shouldn't answer.

1. My beliefs would get richer I guess, especially if I would go to Japan or China (I'd love to studdy buddhism)

2. Yes! I would talk to people about my beliefs, tell my opinions and listen to theirs

3. Actually I'm dieing to do it

Yes they would be the same, because I learned about Jesus from the Bible, not from my country. The Bible is in many countries. God's word has been spread by many people wishing to do his will. This whole notion of religion being contained by geography is a ridiculous assumption among atheists. In that case, Christianity would never have left the middle east.

Yes I would be outspoken about them and even moreso. We are called to spread the Gospel and make converts. (Matt 28:19)

If God is with them, then there are things I can learn from them spiritually. If God is not, they are learning from me spiritually.

i lived in iraq and in kuiwait and was far more out spoken then i am now .my co-workers were indians,of hindi,muslim and r.c. backgrounds.there were turks ,kurds ,brits germans and others in camp.in kuwait i worked mostly with indians,but also brits ,scots and of coarse americans .cannot leave out one of my favorite peoples on earth the Philippine's i love the sound of Tagalog,it seems like such a happy language.

while i was in iraq they had the election i ran for king as a

joke,and wanted to change the official language to Tagalog.

i mean someone walks up to you and say's kumustaka and you reply mabootay,how can you be mad after that.

peace.

1.) Yes 2.) Probably not, unless I was asked. In some places you could get killed for speaking publicly about what you believe, especially if what you believe doesn't go along with the masses. 3.) Sure! Why not?
