I don’t think many of the muslims around here are all that observant. A few years ago, I asked around to the muslims I knew about where they bought their meet. The ones I talked to shopped at Costco. They knew where the local arab or persian markets were, but they couldn’t care less about getting halal meat. They were in America to get away from religious zeal, not to indulge in it.

Apparently, seminary graduates are poor judges of biblical literacy.

"I was mere pointing out" that people who speak like you do about religion usually haven't traveled far enough outside the family holler to meet someone with a different last name.

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Get back to me when you can write a intelligible sentence.

Please use instead of “orthodoxy”, the word “conservative” instead, because the Eastern Christians use that word. Thank-you.

I will not dumb down scholarship. It is known that orthodox (not capitalized) is understood by all in and out of academia. If you are not familiar with it, then get familiar.

I am going to use conservative instead. Let us agree to disagree.

78 percent

If Christians would simply order their politics like Christians, and stop compromising with evil, there would be no more abortions being committed by next Friday. And "gay marriage" would be unthinkable.

Depends on how one defines “Christian”...

I think your 20% is being generous. I think 10% is far more likely.

America still clings to its Christian roots through tradition so appears to be more Christian than it actually is. But that facade is getting stripped away with each passing day.

I was being generous. Finally, someone who gets it.
