A new study by the Pew Research Center finds that the number of Americans identifying as Christian has fallen by 8% since 2007; a decline of five million. Now, the study doesn't reveal why this is happening but I have an idea:
Religion, at least most organized religions, are not inclusive, but exclusive, and most people are tired to that; they’re tired of being told to hate The Gays, to deny women equality. They’re tired of the hypocrisy and yet, on the other hand, non-Christian faiths like Judaism, Islam and Hinduism remain unchanged, or showing growth.
Something to ponder.

How do you KNOW that Zimmerman murdered Martin, when a legal grand jury said there was insufficient evidence? We all agree the death was tragic, we all agree that Zimmerman is not the most cuddly person in the world, but time to let go of that whole horrible episode.
ReplyDeleteChristie, I'll have you know, single handedly, keeps the food industry afloat in Jersey. Its at a all time high. I had no idea American Idol was still on. I'm bad. This up coming political season is scaring the shit out of me with these buffoons, although I can handle Hillary. I agree about Tom Hardy...what an ass. But.......it is what it is!!!!! * ducks flying bottle*

ReplyDeletesilence = death. and we the people WILL NOT be silent on injustice!
@greenbeltandy:
ReplyDeleteMY opinion is that Zimmerman murdered Trayvon and got away with it.
You can have YOUR opinion, I'll have mine, and the day we stop talking about it is the day we accept that senseless killings are just fine.
They aren't.
Butter.... yummmmmm
ReplyDeleteZimmerman DID murder that poor young man, no doubt about it in my mind. Brady is a hideous human being, I'll cheer the day he finally quits football. My luck though he'll become a sports announcer....sigh. GOP are morally and ideologically bankrupt.
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough the One Percenters who won our election failed to tell us how they were going to pay for all their pre-election promises and how they were going to make Britain Great again (impossible).
ReplyDeleteI am totally with you Bob and AM on Zimmerman; that man has a gun and rage problem as his many run-ins with the police prove
