(69,463 posts)They haven't ever been in a public library. They think it's a den of satanic communists forcing them to watch drag queens read gay porn to children.
They hyperventilate when they drive past their town's library.

(9,132 posts)Every culture has it's own name for God.
We're always look for ways to name the creative force that goes far beyond that which can be contained in a name.
Words are simply inadequate.
The Native Americans refer to the "Great Spirit". That's about as good a name as any.

(41,933 posts)Vatican City makes its own laws, collects its own taxes, maintains its own police department, etc. Yes it is wholly within the country of Italy, and also within the city of Rome. Once you cross the border of Vatican City, (it's a gate really) you are in a separate country.
If Italy suddenly outlawed Muslim worship (not gonna happen, but IF...) then it doesn't affect Vatican City at all. They make their own laws. If the Vatican wants to maintain a Muslim place of worship, they can do it.
