We Can Hope He's Right....

RE: We Can Hope He's Right....
The money is at the top and it flows in with the catholics. The priests are just the equivalent of minimum wage workers at WalMart.

The protestant model is independent congregations and they have to be able to pay the electric bill. Otherwise, 'god' gets his lights turned off!

I suspect this only applies in the West. The rest of the world is lagging behind.

It'd be nice if it were so easy, but color me skeptical. 70% of Americans still claim to be Christian. Whether they go to church is not as important as how that Christian ideology influences their interactions vis voting, bigotry, xenophobia, and other issues.

Christians are trying to be more outspoken on the internet about their faith because well more and more people are giving into reality.

But of the 70%, how many could we convict because of their actions if christianity were to be made illegal ??

As we've noted here many times many ways, it's easy to talk the talk, but when it comes time to actually do something, most USA christers start cherry picking bible verses and the hard stuff suddenly becomes a parable, or spurious, or mistranslated, or just flat out ignored.

We get a steady stream of apostates, heretics and blasphemers here trying to spread their twists and turns and gyrations of what back in the day was black and white 'Thou shall NOT . . .'


Maybe the good fight of spreading the atheist word is better supplanted by simply campaigning to get the self described christers to just get honest with themselves about their lack of faith, in faith ??
