More Good News....The Bullshitters Are Dying out
March 18, 2015 at 2:31 am
and the young don't care.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/white...-religion/

Quote:But another major reason religious diversity is outpacing the growth of racial/ethnic diversity is largely due to the explosive growth in non-belief among Americans. One in five Americans now identifies as religiously unaffiliated. In 13 states, the “nones” are the largest religious group. Non-religious people now equal Catholics in number, and their proportion is likely to grow dramatically, as young people are by far the most non-religious group in the country. This isn’t some kind of side effect of their youth, either. As Adam Lee has noted, the millennial generation is becoming less religious as they age.

I could stand having every church turned into a Starbucks even though I hate their coffee.

If Jesus is gonna return, he better do it soon before his religion is relegated to an old wives' tale.

Hey here's one. Some guy shows up claiming to be jesus returned. What evidence would a theist need to believe him I wonder? And how would he be distinguishable from a very powerful alien shapeshifter?

Or distinguishable from the Antichrist?

Either way, I guess you find out when you die. If you go to hell: whoops, you were following a false prophet! Sucks to be you, eh?

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Holy Smokes this is true! I personally asked any of the kids and even high Schoolers I work with if they cared if 'Minnie' died would they care.. The little ones were a little freaked out at first, but then I explained it was not minnie mouse and they were all good with your death!

Wow I guess a broken/stopped clock is right at least twice in a 24 hour period.
