The Christian Post recently published the findings of a Gallup poll designed to gauge Americans' opinion on the Bible. The findings reveal the utter chaos in our culture regarding the nature and authority of Scripture. Gallup's poll found that only 28 percent of Americans believe that the Bible is the Word of God and should be taken literally. And yet nearly 50 percent believe that the Bible is the "inspired Word of God" while insisting that not all of its content be taken literally, but rather as "metaphors and allegories that allow for interpretation."

LOL! Gallup's version of the headline read Gallup: Three in Four in U.S. Still See the Bible as Word of God

Kind of reminiscent of how C. S. Lewis testified that to him, the church with all its splits, divisions, and quarrels still appeared a formidable unity compared with himself on the outside.
