Zone1 New poll shows Americans' confidence and belief in the Bible is at all-time low

[dblack]

So less faith in God has bled over into politics. I agree.

No. You misread. Deliberately I assume. If you have valid points, why not make them, instead of trolling?

Is it?
I would say society is paying a price right now because we've failed to address poverty, racism, addiction, gun proliferation and a bunch of real problems the bible really doesn't give us any guidance for. (BUt if it did, it would be more liberal than conservative... Jesus was a liberal.)

So the Reverend Martin Luther King was a deluded man who made no progress in society?

Answer the OP.

In my view, it's trending better.

You look at the world today and see good surpassing evil? Or is it that you do not believe in those concepts as real in our world today? I'm 62 and frankly, I'm relieved that I won't have to see what comes in more than another decade. It will be horrific, and with the exception of the children, all who experience those horrors will have brought it on themselves.

How is it a bad thing?

Delusion isn't good for sane society.

If we're wrong, at least we tried to live a moral life.

No, you led a life as instructed by the leaders of your religion. You evaded the question of morality, replacing it with obedience.

If we're right, we get to go to heaven.

Yay!

There is no bad in it, unless someone uses it for bad (which goes against the bibles teachings anyway).

It may go against the bible but it's par for the course. Once you convince people to buy into delusion, they're easy marks.

Answer the OP.

I did. Seven. There's your answer. I also explained to you why the premise of your question was invalid. Now suck a tailpipe and go to heaven.

You look at the world today and see good surpassing evil?

Not yet. As the poll shows, most people are still religious.

Well, I guess some do consider living in a Mad Max movie to be a positive.

Just wait until the rapture gets us all. You’ll really be free then.

 

[rightwinger]

Libs say they want to end school shootings. Maybe encouraging belief in Almighty God might help?

That is where Thoughts and Prayers come in

We don’t need fewer guns, just people praying harder

Well, I guess some do consider living in a Mad Max movie to be a positive.

And some people consider living in a third world theocracy to be a positive. Strawman much?

Why wait for the rapture? Why not go to heaven now?

Good thing nobody was murdered before guns.

They asked Reverend Martin Luther King that a lot too.

Yes. The delusion promoted by religion has bled over into politics. Reality no longer matters. Only "belief".

Religion has always been political... Look at the Old Testament.

 

[dblack]

Religion has always been political... Look at the Old Testament.

Agreed. The question is whether that's a good thing. I don't want deluded people making decisions for society.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Funny how those that hate God are attempting to justify the decaying society as a positive.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Religion has always been political... Look at the Old Testament.

And God hating as always been political. So what’s your point?

 

[surada]

Funny how those that hate God are attempting to justify the decaying society as a positive.

Why don't you live your religion?

Guns made it a lot easier
