Norway Drops Official State Church
Atwater Vitki replied to Atwater Vitki's topic in Stories & Texts Archive
Songster - Only two families think it's "terrible" while the many others have a shrug of the shoulders about it as they are not religious, even spiritual for that matter. I found my Swede relatives were far more "historical" thinking than my Norwegian ones. In Norway, I felt as if I was imposing when asking to go to such places as museums and several of the archaeological digs. In Sweden my cousins couldn't wait to go "again"...some places for the umpteenth time. My one great uncle, who is a deacon in the Lutheran Church in Trömso, Norway is so upset, he's still not willing to discuss it, but at 77, it's all he's ever known. I'll wait a week or so and then email my cousin again and see of that opinion has changed. Hyper - yeah since Nor/Swe being united under single Kings before the 1500's, yes sir, they have managed to stay out of numerous frays of the European nations doing. As well, since the 1970's when oil was released to private companies and not strictly a state run business, the economy has boomed and caused an influx of immigrants...much to many of my relatives' disliking. The good news is, not all of them! -
Norway Drops Official State Church

Well the fact that the "Boy Toy"* was allowed in the country just shows the debilitating long term effects of 'lutefisk'! I was considering posting another story from last year about countries that have state religion vs those that do not and the correlation between overall humanitarian, financial and living conditions in those countries. I can see by total lack of interest in a current headline that an older story is probably not worth the effort. Is it because it's "Norway" or because it shows the battle lines that have been crossed by the majority view? I honestly thought some of our more mainstream religious purists would be a little more up in arms about this newly enacted amendment. Oh well, such is, it be. Blessings of Peace, PS: Oh, and no, my response was not in protest to your post Hyper * Even on shows like "American Idol", which Kay and I both enjoy a lot, and other programs, there's just something about a 15-16 year old singing about all the woes and forlorn loves in their 'lives' that I find a bit silly, even ridiculous...not that young love doesn't have it's terrible and hurtful moments, but perhaps a bit of experience behind the lyrics would settle better with an old codger like me. -
