“Unfortunately, I’m not certain that is true. “
How long do you think beanie babies will be around?
You know, my comment wasn't meant to offend anybody. Sorry if I did. And Smedley, my comment was about the organized religious institutions (the church) and not about Christianity: they aren't the same thing.
The statement at the top of this post is indicative of why I wonder if the church (choose your denomination, not picking on the Catholics)) can stick to dogma and religious tenets in the face of overwhelming cultural and political pressure. I have no doubt that Christians will not leave the church. But I am uncertain that the church will not leave Christians. These days, politics seems more important than piety.
