Still no direct response.

Actually there have been two.

Playing games.

Don't bother to respond.

I'm not convinced. Sure, a resurgence exists, such as with Bible sales, and maybe in some more mainstream denominations, I dunno.

But a lot of people, even pastors, are still deconverting. I mean, is church growth keeping up with population growth?

 

[norwegen]

Islam seems to be growing pretty fast. At least in America.

No. Next question.

Aren't you guys the ones afraid of Islam?

Don't bother to respond.

You're the one playing games. I said all I need to say.

 

[PoliticalChic]

Her data is almost always been easily refutable (has been for years)

You said you could refute my data......windbag.

 

[ding]

So don't come back.

You should chill out more.

Zone 1 trolling: reported.

 

[norwegen]

No, it is not keeping up. But there man be just a suggestion of it......did you buy a Bible lately?

No. I already had two older ones.

Why do you hate the very impetus for Western Civilization?

Let me guess: you're a government school grad.

How'd I do?

.

If you can get it, watch Bishop Robert Barron's "Catholicism - Pivotal Players" -- the episode that talks about St. Benedict, whom Bishop Barron describes as possibly saving Western Civilization.

Just watched it today and it's amazing, as is St. Benedict. It leaves me looking for St. Benedict 2.0.

1.AI Overview
Based on his speech at the
Munich Security Conference on February 14, 2026, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio argued that Western civilization is forged by a shared history and Christian faith, which he described as a "sacred inheritance" linking the U.S. and Europe.
While some reports and commentaries specifically highlighted his reference to a "Judeo-Christian inheritance" or tradition in the context of defending Western civilization against cultural erosion,....

This is what government school did not teach you.




2.There are some indications that this may be bottom-up....

AI Overview
Yes, data from 2025 indicates that Bible sales hit record highs, with 2025 being described as having the highest Bible sales in recent history (or at least a 21-year high) in the United States and the United Kingdom




3. Could this be
a. due to Covid keeping children from the communst influence of government schooling
and/or
b. science beginning to accept the Bible as essentially factual?





4. In fact, science has come more in line with the Bible. Dennis Prager writes:
“In my lifetime alone, science went from positing a universe that always existed to positing a universe that had a beginning (the Big Bang). So, in jut one generation [the Bible], in describing a beginning to the universe, went from conflicting with science to agreeing with science….[The Bible] should not violate essential truths (for example, it accurately depicts human beings as the last creation).”
.




5. And even more astounding:
Scientist, Palmer, wrote a book about the astounding accuracy of the Bible, 3 thousand years ago, stating the order of the evolution of life on or planet….exactly the presentation that science now accepts as the fact.

Dr. Andrew Palmer, Oxford biologist, whose book, "The Genesis Enigma," states that the writer of the book of Genesis provides an uncannily similar synopsis of the events in the creation as compared to that accepted by modern science today.

Rather than ridicule the Bible, those very same secular, atheistic scientists have come around to accept the very order that the Old Testament claimed was the course of creation:
The idea of the miraculous confluence of the first chapter of Genesis and the sequence advanced by modern science is as follows:


a. The Old Testament was written, although not compiled, almost three millennia ago. It is extraordinary that the writer of the creation account in Genesis, chapter one, got it right in his exposition of the series of events: his sequence turns out to be scientifically accurate in terms of contemporary knowledge.


b. From a water covered planet, to terrestrial life. The images in that writer’s mind of how our planet and life came to be must have seemed curious for the knowledge and experience of the time! Yet….he presented it as though it had been dictated to him, as though he had been spoken to by God.


c. If it is not evidence for the God, then the author of Genesis 1, or Moses, perhaps, must have understood that the universe formed first, …then the seas appeared on earth, …and that life forms were photosynthetic.

d. Following that, he had to have realized that an eye evolved in an early animal in the geological past, which triggered the evolution of all the major groups of animals that exist today.

e. Still further, he must have felt that all of this occurred in the seas, before animals moved onto land, and only when they did move out of the water did mammals and birds evolve.

The above largely from chapter nine of zoologist Andrew Parker’s “The Genesis Enigma.”





Wow! What an incredibly lucky guess! What a considerable stroke of good fortune!

Or…an alternative explanation: divine intervention.

Only.if we make the children dumber.

I've heard of Jesus dreams among Muslims. Very anecdotal.

Islam's growth seems to be outpacing Christianity's growth. No data; just my observation.

No. I already had two older ones.

Stop playing, funny guy......you know why I asked.

Did you know that Jesus....their version....is mentioned 5 times more than Muhammad in the Q'ran?

 

[Zincwarrior]

Well, you couldn't be dumber.

Are you a government school grad?

Being so, proves my premise.

Reported Zone1 violation.

 

[norwegen]

Stop playing, funny guy......you know why I asked.

I stopped attending church in the last few years.

I just meet for Bible study with friends of a mind with mine.

Interesting. I don't touch the Q'ran.
