Religion In America
I saw the following report last night and felt I needed to share it with everyone. In the report you'll see that many Americans are claiming to believe in God, but also believe that their belief is not the only way to heaven. The report also shows high percentages in the number of people who question whether or not God actually exist. The survey also showed that while many people believe in a heaven, very few believe in a hell. This explains the lackluster passion of Christians in the church today, and why Christians don't look and act any differently than the world. If there is no hell, then there really isn't a reason to live fully abandoned to our Savior. It seems that Americans are willing to compromise anything, even their eternity, to keep from offending someone. I was saddened by the survey, but honestly I wasn't surprised. We need to pray that America returns to the Lord.

Thanks for sharing. I think people are more greedy, and worldly happiness seems to be more important than eternal happiness. People want to live in the "now" and not really think about what is to come. It is sad, but not too shocking.
Amy and I were sorta talking about this today. Thanks for the post.
We've been talking about this in Sunday School...We read something that said 90% of Americans believe in "a" God--and didn't believe it but then realized how wrong or mis-shaped some of their beliefs are... it is sad...
"pragmatic respect"! bah! God's Word is God's Word and Christ's words are true. All of them. End of story.
Adding to Amy's comment...especially the red ones..:)
