According to at least three major religious identification surveys conducted in 2001 and 2002, by far, the fastest growing religion in the United States was Wicca. But, among major religions, Islam was the fastest growing religion in the United States, by a long shot. Buddhism and Hindu were also very fast growing.

We Christians would do well to keep this data in mind, as we consider trying to legislate our own version of morality or we may some day find that an Islam or Buddhist majority in government, may use our actions today, as precedent for passing laws that impose their own version of morality. Although I personally oppose abortion, this is one of the primary reasons why I believe that we should use witnessing, rather than legislation, to achieve our ends. Otherwise, we may some day find that we have government funded abortion on demand, but can't eat beef.

The changing demographics of our nation means that in order to protect our future rights and the rights of our children, we must protect the rights of those with whom we disagree, today. We don't need to give them precedent.

The changing demographics of our nation...

Something we can and should have controlled when it was possible years ago.
It is now controlling us.
If we allow the leftists to get to our goal line, they will score, and they have.
Isolationism on issues does not work any more than it does in foreign policy. We should have literally attacked our leaders on this issue long long ago when we had the strength to win, but not enough people gave a damn.
Now we will reap what we sowed.
It has long been a strategy of the commies to overwhelm conservative Christian values in this country, by out-breeding us or by overwhelming immigration policy. Both are working.

Yea, a Buddhist majority would be terrible. I see rivers of blood in the streets.

As a religious group, probably the most peaceful, least aggresive people on the planet.......the horror......the horror!
