Record few Americans believe in Biblical inerrancy.

[Jehanne]

• 24% believe Bible is literal word of God, the lowest in Gallup's 40-year trend
  
• View of Bible as secular stories and history at 26%, up from 21% in 2014
  
• The largest segment, 47%, still think Bible is inspired word of God

Yeah, fewer Americans are actually dumber than yeast.

[Jehanne]

Makes me wonder how many folks are going straight from the inerranist camp to the fable camp.

Should we be on the look out for re-education camps?

And that's why there are 70,000 schisms, denominations, and sects in the confused and confusing world of Christianity.

For them, or for Us? The former, to be sure, commonly referred to as The Internet.

YAAAAAAAAAY! Biblical inerrancy is the bottom of the barrel as far as anti-intellectual religiosity goes. I'm so glad it's on the decline!

[Jehanne]

Just curious, any Biblical inerrantists here?

[Whateverist]

Probably GC. Maybe Steve? Most will argue for the possibility of every snatch of scripture that comes up being true, whether they claim it all is or not.

Acing net neutrality is going to be bad in that regard. People in those highly religious states may have allies in their ISPs that limit the types of sites people in them can view. The kind of crap I see at a woodworking site I am a member of- A guy cut out a thin plywood silhouette of a woman and painted it pink, with dark wavy hair. People were stabbing their eyes out with Bic pens and complaining about how their "12 year old sons visit this site, and shouldn't see this stuff". Gotta be shitting me. Needless to say, there will be pockets of even more ignorant people, if they can't have unrestricted access to the entire internet.
