How is that? You mean they are turning people away from following him by following him?

Already explained.

When? How? To who?

Look it up if you want. Or not. Don’t care either way.

God help you and all your lazy relatives.

You can look it up yourself. Or you can be lazy and helpless.

Fine with me either way.

How do you measure the decline of the country?

How do you measure the decline of morals?

I just wanted to note that bullshit that you can't go to church, but you can go and try to burn shit down get arrested, and released, to do it the next day.

***Just saying. I know I said this on the first or second page. But... Back then you said it didn't have anything to do with anything. I think it finally means something to the thread... Yes?

 

[toobfreak]

God help you.

Thanks!

Zeus help you.

Zeus is an Olympian. I prefer the Titans.

Its all part of god's plan for you.

I can’t worry about others decisions, I am responsible for myself, no one else.

That’s fair.

Thank you, I appreciate that. I know not all believe as I do, however we are all entitled to our opinions and choices. I think we all need to be more tolerant of other's beliefs. I believe Christians could open more minds by living the way they are supposed to live instead of condemning those that disagree. Again, just my opinion.

“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?

People are becoming more aware of their world.
Awareness brings knowledge and understanding.
Knowledge and understanding drives the fear away.
Without fear, religion us useless.

LoL

Ok, well it was nice talking to you.

Sorry Ducolax but I never took up religion out of fear. Fear had no part in my faith.

I believed in God because God revealed to me who he really was.

Let me say a prayer for your soul.

God forgives you your sins thinking that.

God’s followers are doing a great job of turning people away from him.

Religion is a big turn off because many that claim to be Christians don't act like Christians. Christ was a minister, he was humble and he led by example. He felt empathy for the masses and was disgusted by the way clergy in his day lorded over his flock. Today, many Christians, seem selfish, look out for their own interests. That is just one facet, lots of other examples. Justmy thoughts.

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.

One need understand that monotheists cannot stand to have their beliefs challenged.
BECAUSE
If their beliefs are wrong their religion is wrong and all that dedication to a false religion is too painful to discard.
Take the three "great" religions.
For any of them to be right...
The others must be 100% wrong.
Imagine telling a billion dedicated followers "oopsie!" My bust!

The biggest reason for the fall is the fact that modern religious denominations have decided to abandon families and pursue homosexuals and trannies for membership.

Look at the Religious Left, they were doing Gay Marriage long before the Supreme Court decision.

The problem was that after the pastors told families to "beat it", the LGBTQ that they were seeking never filled the pews, and never gave sacrificially to support the churches.


Basically, Organized Religion followed the footsteps of the Dixie Chicks. At the insistence of the left, they told conservatives to get lost. And then the left threw them under the bus.

God they are stupid.
The decline has been going on long before the first preacher married a gay couple.
But, hey! Close your eyes and you won't even notice you're alone at church.

I get that. One of the biggest turn offs is having someone thrust their religion on others.

That said, the ideal christian then is he who turns the other cheek-- -- -- they are wronged by the democrats and then just turn the other cheek so they can be wronged AGAIN.

Sounds a lot like the republicans: forever wronged, seldom doing enough about it.
