What generation was that?
I grew up in a generation of plenty as compared to that of my parents and their generation who all had quivers of children. When in American history was there a generation that could not afford more than 2-3 kids?
BTW, Do you consider Abortion as a legitimate method of Birth Control?
Good question: Which generation was it that could only afford 2-3 kids.
This one has 2-3 cars, 1500-3000 sq ft houses, ipads, cell phones, laptops, food, clothing, tv’s, mp3s, xboxes, and the list goes on.
But, they can squeeze in only 2-3 kids amidst all that poverty. Riiiiiiight.
“has the country become so secular that any sign of religiosity will scare off a majority of voters”?
An excellent point. Is Florida too secular for a guy like Santorum these days? I think it might be.
Does a country ever swing “back” from secularism?
Actually, I think Mormons believe that Satan is Jesus' brother, born of the same Father.
Yes
Communism collapsed in the former USSR and Evangelical Christians have been growing in numbers in Russia. China is still communist but the govt has not been able to stop the growth of Christianity there. It seems that that there is a long process where a country embraces an all powerful State and becomes secular in the process. Then the society begins to collapse and near the bottom the people turn back to God.
We are seeing Europe heading down this road. Increasingly the populous expects govt to provide everything and the nations are becoming more secular. Also their economies are collapsing and their birth rates are so low that their population is declining. We are on the same road, just not as far down it as they are.
Thanks. You’re right, now I remember reading that. Amazing how some fall so easily to demonic teachings.
