I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

And it'd be really interesting to see the numbers re: education level vs. accepting Christianity there. What about Russia? They've had the Orthodoxy since forever. If they're switching to straight Christianity, then they're simply exchanging one form of woo for another. Not knowing Russian politics, I can't help but wonder if Putin is driving part of it given his hard right stance on other things.

I'd rather this thread remain about Christian eschatology and its effect on devout Christians and members of their families, friends, co-workers or just people who have to deal with them.

You're zooming into my example of a christian from China who is not the stereotype that previous posters were trying to create for those receiving christianity throughout the world.You mean she -doesn't- accept vicarious redemption through the blood sacrifice of your demi-god? What I'm saying is that you're ignoring my point and trying to pick apart an example of a Chinese christian that I provided. Which parts of the world are on the upswing and which are on the decline?

Which parts of the world are on the upswing and which are on the decline? The "point" you're flogging as a way of evading your duplicitous link bombing? Yeah. I'm ignoring that one. But if you insist..... The link you provided began with a positive affirmation of the very statement to which you objected -with- it. No one would have known this because you failed to provide the text. If you had provided the text..it would be hard to miss the opening sentence. You read it. Your compulsive need to disagree for christ, and for christ to win something, somewhere, however, was too strong to ignore. -and here we are. Your own chosen sources tell you exactly what we have told you. Tell your brothers-in-christ to remember to turn the lights out when the last man exits the last church. This sort of shit, above, is the -reason- that people are leaving. So congratulations.
