The information here is proposed to make you think. It is not meant to offend.
The real questions are what do you do with your faith and if you had to let people know that you believe in God; would you do it or do you prefer to keep it a secret?
They keep doing all of these studies about faith. They're not doing it because they believe. Remember that "they" the media are supposed to be impartial. However, they decided to try to find out about this faith thing. They found in one study that 85% of Americans believe in God, but 98% of Africans do, 9 of 10 Indonesians said they'd die for God and 87% of Ireland believe in God. So my question is are we lagging behind the rest of the world on the "Faith Scale" and if so why? Now I suggest to you that since real people write these stories, we are falling off our jobs fellow believers because as a group; the media has compromised themselves. They won't even say (rarely) they believe in God! That's an atrocity! It really is. Or has it dulled your common sense?
We've got so many freedoms here and we have an entrenched belief in this country to respect other people's beliefs and religions. It's almost to a fault. We are raised in an environment of tolerance. We have tolerated the death of the pledge of allegiance in many schools. I personally taught in a school where Christmas (or its' meaning) could not be discussed. Even though our country was clearly founded upon biblical principals; the ten commandments have been prohibited from being displayed in many court arenas.
WHERE DID THEY GET THOU SHALT NOT KILL! THOU SHALT NOT STEAL. FROM?
So American society has compromised its religious beliefs so much so that few have respect for our so called "firm foundation." Hey, we'll even protest their "rights" to protest; even if their complaint is anti our religious beliefs or we just cave in.
Recently, a long tradition of swearing in on the bible was compromised because a Muslim man didn't want to do that. It's possible that he uses the bible to recruit people to the Muslims and that someone used it to recruit him.
We're going to have to get more aggressive about our beliefs and stop respecting and start imposing!
Too many lives hang in the balance! Strangers are coming on American soil, some are terrorists and some come with the intention to recruit us Americans to become terrorists or enablers. THIS IS NOT PARANOIA TALKING. These are facts. So when you leave reading this article and go out into the world; you need to ask yourself; "WHO AM I RECRUITING?
We are lagging behind other countries around the world regarding faith. so is it because we're too smart, we're too wise, we listen to so much contrary talk, watch too much television, listen to too much science, don't go to church, like sin too much, listen to the atheists, are fickle, we want it easier, we're to lazy to find out the truth for ourselves, the Christians are to selfish, too ignorant of God's will, or what? You tell me.
This is not meant to be political, but I make NO APOLOGIES for loving God. None.
