Why is Elizabeth the Second queen of New Zealand?
That has nothing to do with my question and seeing as America is supposed to be a "secular" nation this is why I ask this question. Your counter question is nothing but a diversion question and quite frankly is idiotic. If you will not answer my question bugger off.
Actually it has quite a bit to do with it. It seems both of our countries have existing power structures based upon archaic traditions and superstitions. America has always mixed politics with religion, just like New Zealand has always had an English queen (with apologies to any aboriginals before British colonization). Silly? Sure. But these are some of the most basic ways governments attempt to legitimize their sovereignty.
Sorry to expect you to think a little deeper about the world you live in. You may now continue with your usual curmudgeonly personality.
The difference between ignorance and knowledge is asking questions. The difference between knowledge and wisdom is asking questions about the questions. Don't worry though Snowflake, you're young. You still have plenty of time to learn.
