-the most brands/types of beers in the world
-a very strong economy
-very small enviroment issues (like spills , natural disasters)
-one of the best educational services in the world

-and so on...

You're just propagising worldly, unholy materials, addictions even. Addicting is a well known tools of Satan. That's why God hates Belgium. Among other things. It is not God who gave you these things.

Re: 8 Reasons why GOD HATES BELGIUM!

You're most welcome. It's nice to see that not all Belgians are unreceptive. I just wish Spaniards were as hard working. It would make my misssion to Spain far easier.

Brother, It's bad enough that God hates Belgium. I cannot afford being unreceptive, if I am to be saved. Unfortunately, not all of these people are as willing, but they will rot in Hell while I will be near Him.

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

I'm always glad to learn from you, brother McUinnean.

Pay no need to those who cannot be tought this wisdom, for they will not sit at Jesus' Right Hand.

Exodus 18:20 Teach them his decrees and instructions, and show them the way they are to live and how they are to behave.

Re: 8 Reasons why GOD HATES BELGIUM!

All countries have their own languages, even the Australians speak Australian.

Amen, sister. It's always been like this and it will always be like this, because it is how the Lord wants it to be.

Genesis 11:9 That is why it was called Babel—because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

@ Lost Sheep:

I've read the entire thread lastnight.
Maps of the middle ages when Belgium didn't even exist,
don't statisfy me.

Some people can't get no.

About the whole language thing.
I speak dutch , and i live in belgium.
dutch is a language wich was spoken here before the inquisitors still had antwerp.
Because we were know as "the lowlands" (Not even Holland yet).

Nederland / Netherlands of today.

So , in San marino (Italy) , they speak Italian.
But dare to say that there Italian ,
and you come against some really harsh discussions.

Valid point. Many Scots and Irish speak English and they're not English.

Accept that there are country's who have no real "Native" language.
America didn't invent the "American Language".
Most of the americans still had a english accent untill the 1860/70's.
So you got to admit that!

No. I'm not admitting anything. I'm trying to educate you. Look at my previous posts regarding names of languages. The language has effectively evolved into something that is no longer 'English'. It's similar in the same way that Swedish and Danish are mutually intelligible. German dialects form a dialect contunuum but High German and Low Saxon dialects are different enough to be considered different languages from a linguist's point of view. Buchan Scots dialect and Devon English are the same case. They are not even mutually intelligible. (In fact Buchan Scots isn't even auto-intelligible to those who speak (or spahk) it.). Lombardic Italian and Siciilian - both 'Italian' but they need to use the 'standard' Italian based on the Tuscan dialect to coverse. You see? American exists as a language. From a linguistic viewpoint, from a moral stanpoint and from a national standpoint. Canadians may insist on their speaking 'English' but in reality it's linguistically, morally and technically actually a dialect of 'American'.

It all depends on the linguist you speak to. And since I, as a True Christian™ Linguist, am endorsed and qualified enough to decide on this matter, it is ME who you should pay heed to.

Thank you for learning something important today.

So you believe everything on Wikipedia. Your last entry is a contradiction. Australia has no official language but the national language is English.

Australians have their own language, Australian.

Sorry for the mishap , copy/paste didn't work...

Here a passage of the article:

Although Australia has no official language, English is so entrenched that it has become the de facto national language.[206] Australian English is a major variety of the language with a distinctive accent and lexicon. Grammar and spelling are similar to that of British English with some notable exceptions.[207] According to the 2006 census, English is the only language spoken in the home for close to 79% of the population. The next most common languages spoken at home are Italian (1.6%), Greek (1.3%) and Cantonese (1.2%);[208] a considerable proportion of first- and second-generation migrants are bilingual.

Re: 8 Reasons why GOD HATES BELGIUM!

No I interrupt peoples conversations with Intelligent comments.

Do you always avoid questions you don't know the answer too with other questions?

according to you if someone speaks that language then they must come from that country. you speak english so you're from england right? thats what you asked that guy from belgium isn't it?

Should you be speaking americanese?

If you were not so rude and actually asked your own questions instead of interrupting and copying other people, then people would be nicer to you.

No. She speaks American. English people speak English, although it used to be called Anglisce or Saxon. Language names change. My own native tongue was called Inglis in the early middle ages, then later it was known as Scottis, and in modern times we call it Scots.

Language change is as inevitable as name changes for people's, nations and the languages themselves. The only unchanging constants are God Himself and His Word.
