During The American Revolutionary War, the state religion of Great Britain was Christianity?

The hospitality and friendliness shown by many here to Oristar over the years is being repaid by this very odd, insulting behaviour.

Maybe we have been helping to educate a foreign troll to write joined up English, and are now starting to be trolled by him/her/it.

I think that the ignore button is the only option, as our new troll doesn't seem to be able to hold a logical conversation or debate without going quite weird and nasty when challenged or disagreed with.

What a shame. Up until recently, I regarded Ori as a positive, eager learner who was polite, cheerful and funny. Now it is just strange, in a not very nice way.

Do not feed the troll.

I'm pressing ignore after this post.

Stop trolling, WH.

Could you kindly explain why I'm trolling here? (I guess, with "WH" you mean me, oA. But then, two fullstops are missing - it should be W.H. . White House is WH ....)

Stop trolling, WH.
Professor Ezra F. Vogel in his book Deng Xiaoping quotes a word from Deng "China is a backward country". He's not insulting his motherland, just criticizing. I borrowed the word from there.
But if Dave was offended by this. I apologize. I didn't mean to insult him.
He has promised to offer his grammatical advices. It is obviously a rhetorical mistake.

. . . I'm pressing ignore after this post.

His Majesty's Royal Supremacy was naturally under scrutiny.
Because as the supreme head of the Church of England - the state
religion - Christianity - he ran the war under the "Divine Guidance from God".

Did the King SAY that??
It was not a religious war.

As common sense, the loss of a war often produces a period of collective grief
and stupefaction and leads to searching for the reason behind it in a nation. For example, 911 Attacks.
The event was not merely terrorist attacks but actually a war and America lost it.

That was, at most, one battle on 9/11,
not a war. That came later. We overthrew the Taliban
and later we killed Laden. We did not lose that war.

You have your opinion, of course Dave.

But I have to be candid: the view that the 911 Attacks is a war against the United States is not my invention. I just borrowed it from George W. Bush, who said something like "it is no more a terrorist activity; it is a war" when commenting on the event immediately after it happened. I had to admit that he's sharp-eyed.

America was defeated at the very beginning (3000 lives were lost)
and only won its anti-terrorism war that it launched after the event.

(To be continued)

I did not read that book.

That is why you're backward, Dave.

U mis-understood what W meant.
He did not mean that the attacks of 9/11 were an entire war,
but rather that thay BEGAN a war (like Pearl Harbor).
Since then, we won the war by overthrowing the Taliban
and by killing Laden. Arguably, the war remains in progress.
We have won most of its battles.
