In some good news, a new poll shows belief in such things as god and the devil have declined. The future of god is grimhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/belief-god-devil-falls-low-164300978.html
Just looking at the poll itself, there were a few interesting numbers. The one that surprised me the most: "While 94 percent of Protestants said they believe in God, 85 percent of Catholics said the same."In other words, 15% of people who identify as Catholics don't even believe in god.
That's not weird. How many women don't think they are a woman, or men don't believe they are a man?
Catholicism is going the way of Judaism, where it is becoming a cultural affinity as much as it is a religious one.
I could see how this is true. I know a lot of people that were raised Catholic, and confirmed Catholic, but really don't believe in religion anymore. They still identify as Catholic though.
That’s bc they don’t want to be associated with the racist / homophobic / xenophobic mess that is Evangelicals.
...and you went to Marquette?
What does going to school at Marquette have to do with understanding the destruction caused for centuries by religion? Or understanding if there is a god, pretty safe bet none of the religions of the world have a clue about such a thing? Or understanding the dangerous road America is on forcing religious zealotry on citizens who don’t believe in such things?
In spite of your poll, I'm betting on God.
America is doomed
Egyptians in 616 AD: "I'm betting on Ra."Norse in 1066 AD: "I'm betting on Odin."Hellenics in 1912: "I'm betting on Zeus."Heaven's Gate in 1997: "I'm betting on Hale-Bopp."
Your point is??
Odin > Christian God
That's fine. It's a binary choice that everyone makes. But God, as with Mark Twain-----the reports of His demise are greatly exaggerated.
Well, Mark Twain was real
