Church Attendance Declining

[XponentialChaos]

I am relating an actual story. In fact many experiences may differ. No, it wasn't a loose chain of reasoning.

Sorry, but it is.

There's no way of knowing if the same tragic outcome would have happened with or without pre-marital sex.

Pregnancy rarely happens without sex. Still, I know what happened and you don't. Doesn't bother me you elect not to believe...doesn't change any facts.

Pregnancy rarely happens without sex.

Do you see anyone disputing that?

 

[toobfreak]

Progressives have been hassling church-goers for a long time. I don't blame them for not going out publicly anymore.

Yea, you have no argument.

You have no argument. No doubt some people are going to church less partly because it isn't promoted in society as much as it used to be, while Covid shutdowns of churches have no doubt contributed,. while others simply have found it safer and easier to just stay home and worship.

BOTTOM LINE: While I'm sure you want to blame declining church roles solely on lack of interest, fact is that many more people have faith than show up in churches these days for a multitude of reasons.

Do you see anyone disputing

I see your dispute, even if it isn't about the pregnancy. Look, go ahead with a belief that divorce and sex outside of marriage is normal and a happy thing for all involved. As I say, experiences differ. If you wish to turn my story into a happier version, go with that. Everyone loves a happy ending.

while Covid shutdowns of churches have no doubt contributed,

This has already been addressed multiple times. You have nothing.

That's because nobody was disputing the pregnancy comment.

We call that a strawman.

I'll always have more than you.

Neat. Good luck with that.

Or an unwillingness to connect the dots.... Have a good rest of the day.

“U.S. church membership has fallen below 50% for the first time, according to a Gallup poll published Monday, continuing a decades-long decline in membership driven by growing numbers of Americans who express no religious affiliation.”

Poll: American Church Membership Drops Below 50% For First Time

Religious affiliation has been declining steadily since the start of the 21st century.

People who attend church has steadily declined as the number of non-religious has continued to grow.

Christians can’t be happy with this. Our country is rapidly becoming more secular.

What do Christians think about this? Why is your religion dwindling away?

True atheism is growing---so fewer believers in a god

But the lock downs for COVID are speeding up this process as people are getting out of the habit of going to churches and losing the group think reinforcement of other believers. Covid lock downs are yet another nail in the coffin of christian believers.

As I already explained, I think it's a loose chain of reasoning. There's no way of knowing if the same tragic outcome would have happened with or without pre-marital sex. This is indisputable. You can't possibly know this.

You too.

Truth hurts.

Covid definitely isn't helping Christianity, I agree.

Uh huh. That's nice.

Let me know when you have something intelligent to say.

I think the problem is fundamentalism, Dispensationism and Dominionism.. You can't expect Christians to park their brains at the church door.

Praise be unto the Glory of God in the Highest. The Kingdom of God is eternal.

Progressives like you not so much.

Public schools, unions.
The Media.
Leftists.

Evil.

Perhaps it would be wise to stop demonizing people for not believing in the same things you do. Maybe it’s just pushing people away from your loving religion.

Just a thought.

You demonize.
