German and English are practically the same language - like Russian and Ukrainian. Once i read the translation of any German Lyrics in a song it all falls into place and i can sing along just as if it was English. This doesn't happen with ACTUALLY foreign languages like Arabic or Hebrew which just seem insane to me. Although Arabic and Hebrew are obviously similar to each other.
as for evolution in the G-dless Soviet Union where i was born that shit is taught in school unlike in America. in USSR they go as hard on Biology as they go on Math in China. Dawkins could have been an elementary school teacher in USSR. nobody coming out of Soviet education system needs to be explained how evolution works or that religion is ridiculous.
even living in NYC i didn't realize people actually went to churches in America, because NYC is of course not part of America but an international city.
it's only when i became a shitposter on the internet to my amazement i discovered Americans take religion seriously. i remember Mitt Romney being asked during presidential debates whether the Bible was word of G-d and he answered "Absolutely" and i expected everybody to burst out laughing but apparently that was the right answer in American Right-Wing politics.
