Future of Christianity in US

[Drich]

You should really try to understand that the vast majority of us overcame our fear of the boogeyman before reaching puberty.

Cato you have to understand the stupidity and ignorance of bronze age thinking still lingers in the minds of people who believe the bible to be true. same goes with young earth creationists and flat earth believers. It is a mind set so badly ingrained on people its not even funny as the people who are doing it just need t stop. The religious need to be re-educated.

I asked you a multi point question and you can't even put together a coherent statement, but when it comes to personally insluting someone you become an expert?

Something's fishy here...

Where did you copy/cut and paste your insult from? You know it plagiarism to copy someone else's work and not leave a source right?

What a delightful worldview Drich, I'm sure its less of a drag when you believe you're going to heaven afterwards, so why bother trying to fix shit now?

Why 'fix' the earth now is that your question?

We shouldn't 'fix it.'

We were set here and tasked with the mission to tame and subdue this world. We are activly doing that as far as I understand the term.

This world is not meant to last forever. We are told after the final judgement their will be a new heaven and a new earth, and the old heaven and earth will pass away.

I used to think this way; however, education alone won't solve the problem. Jerry Coyne recently posted his thoughts on the matter:

Coyne sites surveys that indicate that a third of Americans don't believe that they can simultaneously believe in God and evolution. This figure hasn't changed substantially in over 30 years. Coyne's conclusion:

Of course I favor telling Americans what evolution is and giving them the evidence for it. I do it all the time as I continue to lecture and talk on the radio about the evidence for evolution. But I’m also pretty sure that so long as the U.S. is the world’s most religious First World nation, the acceptance of our message will be blocked by faith.

In my orgins thread I have proven coyne wrong.
