Teamwork doesnt necessarily mean plowing a field together, but it could also mean sharing information with one another freely...Americans dont hesitate to share they are more collaborative, ask a cypriot a question and you get half answers, a little byzantine intrique in every cypriot..with the greeks and cypriots you said too many chiefs and not enough indians...from that what collaboration or sharing of information would these people be willing to share when they are in competition with everyone around them....

the Church does not preach power through the Eucharist; rather, it preaches communion or oneness with God to achieve sanctifying grace. Filitsa said


isnt this the same thing when you become one with god after you take in the symbolic blood and body....

Okay, collaboration and progress are characteristic of the American work ethic.. ... But again, they're not uniquely American.

if you mean being one with God, doesnt that phrase alone tell you that they make us take communion in order to reach a godly state? which will be a more powerful state then we are in now, isnt that the selling point ?

Great Britain. America was founded on British culture. New Zealand: progressive political ideals, government, health care, and social welfare.

It's my understanding that Communion with God is a means to an end, so to speak, the end being the grace of God.
