My understanding was that education and internet was putting a big damper on religion (maybe not Christianity in particular.)

Here's a graph from the Ollin College of Engineering that shows this:

I got the picture here: How the Internet Is Taking Away America

The article states:

I really like this quote from the article.

Quote:
Too many Christian’s are becoming fed up with Fox News or Pat Robertson and his 700 Club being the face of Christianity.
I believe in God and I believe in Jesus Christ, but I don't believe everything in the Bible is meant to be taken as literal history and it definitely isn't a science textbook. On most issues I favor the liberal perspective over the conservative one. I have a hard time labeling myself "Christian" because of what of the way teavangelicals have hijacked the label.

Don't even get me started on Canadians, I am seeing a doctor for that already.


But yeah, Trout is the antichrist, and _____ is his prophet, one is the head, and one is the tail, one eye is given to see everything good, and one eye of a beast that walks like a king and speaks as a leopard.

Now-now boys and girls.

I am neither the anti-Christ nor a leopard and had nought to do with the towers except mourn in shock and horror along with most of the rest of humanity.

Though I admire the heck out of leopards.

They're wonderful beasts, elegant and powerful - majestic as are all cats in their way.... Ok, fine - call me a leopard.

I have a pretty good growl.

Hissing and spitting, maybe not so much.

By the way, I heard a deer snort for the first time yesterday. I was surprised, they're usually very quiet and just stamp their foot if they want to make their feelings known.
