Re: Non-Americans, what do you find puzzling about American culture?

no, that's not the point at all. granted, evangelical/nondenominational sects tend to emphasize the death way more than the resurrection but both are still part of the dogma

I used to be entrenched in this culture and basically what happens is, christians take some kind of well-known phrase and put a Jesus-y twist on them (back in my day, e.g., they twisted the Coke slogan into "Jesus is the Real Thing.") so all I can see here is someone heard the phrase "reasonable doubt" and tried to put their Jesus twist on it. Despite the fact that that is a term from law & justice and not a pop culture phrase, I mean, it's the worst possible thing you could try to twist. It also doesn't make any sense either linguistically or theologically. But white American Christianity is all about marketing, not theology.

Ah, I wasn't registering "beyond reasonable doubt" as the legal term. I live nearby some religious places (like literally down the street) so I guess I'm used to seeing overly bombastic religious phrases that don't make a lot of sense.

You make a great point about American Christianity being about marketing. God, know that I know it's based off an existing phrase, I'm kinda peeved by it now lol.
