Fuck This "Xtian Nation" Shit!

[Minimalist]

You have difficulty with facts, I see.

Thanks to Pedopope and the rest of the pervert priest posse we can look forward to catholicism dying out even faster than the protestant fuckwits.


( P.S. - I was only joking...unlike Cardinal Torquemada.)

Chritianity is on the rise my friend.

Oh, really?

America is on the downslide because of a lack of morals. The rest of the world is looking to us as a model for what NOT to be...in just about EVERY WAY!

Usually because of our religo-tards.

yes... convincing the ignorant third world that there is a skydaddy that will bring them out of their misery and crappy life.... after they die... -.-'

Christianity is declining in Europe... is declining in the US.... I can only assume it's declining in Canada (any canadians out there?); it's declining in Australia, Japan is a crazy place...
The rise comes from Africa, South America.... awesome gain!

So I had the rather unusual experience of actually attending a church service last year, and was immediately struck by how old everyone in it was. I mean really old. Most of them will be dead in 10 years. Religious affiliation in on the decline, but the actual hardcore religious, who attend church and give money to the churches will be gone in the United States within my lifetime. It's a great time.

I assume you are referring to the rise in Christianity in many parts of Africa and the developing world. I hate to burst your bubble, but while many Africans may claim to have converted to Christianity, they generally wouldn't fit your (Western) definition of "Christian". They often still practice their traditional, pagan religions in tandem with attending church. So while they may self-identify as Christian, they aren't, in many cases, actually Christian, rather they follow a hybrid religion. Many still have multiple wives (in areas where polygamy is traditionally practiced), though they may only live with their primary wife and may not consider the products of their secondary marriages as legitimate. It can be argued that Christianity is actually mucking up many traditional African societies.

Pretty much the same is happening here in the UK. The average age of the people in the churches are older than the churches themselves.

1. America is the 'christian nation'. If the area where it is most popular is seeing declines, that isn't a good sign (for theists, anyway.)

2. Australia

3.England

4.Egypt

5.Scotland (and Europe in general)

Unless you mean by raw numbers, then of course it would be growing! I mean by percent! It is becoming less popular.

Absolutely:

Nigerian Pentecostal preacher Helen Ukpabio

Ukpabio has published her views in several books. An example is 'Unveiling The Mysteries of Witchcraft', in which she states that:

"If a child under the age of two screams in the night, cries and is always feverish with deteriorating health he or she is a servant of Satan."

On a Visit to the U.S., a Nigerian Witch-Hunter Explains Herself

In Nigeria, many preachers not only identify possessed children but charge dearly to perform exorcisms. To redeem their children’s souls — and to keep the child from being killed or banished by neighbors — parents scrimp or borrow to pay the preacher.

Abused, burned and buried alive: The horrific suffering of Nigeria's child 'witches'

Children as young as two are being burned, poisoned and buried alive in Nigeria for being witches, it has been claimed.

Hundreds of youngsters are being subjected to horrific violence or chained up for weeks after being accused of withcraft, according to a report by a children's rights charity.

In one case, an 11-year-old boy was killed after acid was poured over him; in another, a girl who had a nail driven into her head was left permanently disabled.

Tragically, I could go on if I wasn't so sickened by it all.
