No, I know there are some kids that for some reason, would wanna learn that in public school instead of their church that they probably attend. But I know there are more kids that dont wanna hear the Christian religion than there are kids that do. Its a fact. There are more people that aren't Christian than there are Christians.

 

Responding to 10 word sentence? Thats the best you have? C'mon, engage in the dialog just a little bit more. Logically explain your position just a little more. Be more credible.

 

You're one to talk about credibility. You get your stuff from the bible.

 

Really? You know?

Below is an excerpt from CBS news:

"Is America getting more secular? Not according to a new survey on Americans' religious beliefs, "American Piety in the 21st Century," published this month by Baylor University. According to the Baylor survey, 82 percent of Americans are Christians, 90 percent believe in God, 70 percent pray regularly, and half attend church at least once a month.

If Baylor is correct, Americans are demographically as religious, and as Christian, as they ever have been. But their denominational affiliations have become somewhat less structured. Less likely now to be Methodist or Lutheran, they are drifting towards more informal forms of evangelical Christianity."

and from the USA Today...

The Constitution establishes a Christian nation
• Agree: 55%
• Disagree: 41%
• Other: 4%

Hello, another CBS news poll...

world at large: Fifty-two percent of the world's population is non-Christian, compared to 4 percent in the United States; and one-third is Christian, compared to 83 percent in the United States. (These are rough comparisons, because the world figures, reported by the Encyclopedia Britannica, are for the full population, while the U.S. figures are among adults only.)


Religion in the U.S. vs. the World:
United States World
Christian 83% 33%
No religion 13% 15%
All non-Christian religions 4% 52%



This poll used an open-ended question to gauge religious affiliation: "What if anything is your religion?" Most of the 50 affiliations cited are Christian denominations, ranging from the Assembly of God to the United Church of Christ. Added up they show that 53 percent of Americans are Protestants, 22 percent Catholics and 8 percent other Christians, such as Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses.

 

Kids today dont get 2 ****s about god anyways. Its a new century. This isnt like life back in the 50's. More and more kids are finally questioning why they are Christians. They are Christians only because they were born into it and they want out. I got out of the Christian hivemind and decided to think on my own and I figured out that when your a Christian, you're more likely to be wrong if anything.

 

Uh yeah, I do. And according to secular sources, anywhere from 70-85% of the United States population consider themselves to be Christian.

You are the minority...

 

Well if being in that minority means not causing all the deaths and blood shed that the Christian religion has caused, then thats fine by me good sir.

 

You have shown yourself to only assume. I give you facts. Yet you deny them to the bitter end. I am not trying to convert you. Its gotta be a little deflating to your ego. I do not want to hurt your ego. I only want to educated you, and show you that the world you live in...is not as you see it. Show me my facts are wrong. Your beliefs are what you want to cling too. Again, to the bitter end. LOOK at the facts, and consider them.

 

So now you admit that you are wrong about...

Do you want show me? You are obligated, now that you keep conceding your point that you held to be fact..

 

I'm admitting i'm in the minority of not being a Christian in the united states. I was never wrong about there are more people that aren't Christian than there are Christians.

 

There are people who make accusations and assertions that are empirically false. You are one of them...

Well, according to the book Beyond Belief, Christianity has not killed as many as Atheist. Atheism has caused more deaths in the last century than any other system of belief put together on all of the past 19 centuries. During the Dark Ages the Catholic Church (is estimated) to have killed 12 million people, that is during a span of 1260 years. Hitler killed the same amount in just a few years (most only count the 6 million Jews he killed, but he also killed another 6 million non-Jews). Then you also have Mao Tse Tung, Staling, Mussolini, Lenin and even Fidel Castro, among many others. Under these atheist leaders the number of innocent murdered is still unknown.

 

Those people didn't kill because they were Athiest. Thats the difference here. They didnt kill for a Athiest cause. The Christians sure did, which is stupid. Another reason why religion causes problems.

 

Now we get to the part that will really blow your mind... Religion does cause problems, because it detracts from Christ.

Those that follow Him, do not commit the atrocities that you speak of. Those that accept Him, spend their time late at night when they should sleep, witnessing to those that are in need of HIM.

Remember, true Christianity is not a religion.

 

You're right, its a pack of wild hound dogs ravaging foreign lands in the name of Christ, killing because the people don't believe.
