As people become more educated, they tend to be less religious

Back-handed slap at George Bush "dumbness"?

Funny...the Founding Fathers were all highly educated...and highly religious.

I have the ideal study for the foxhole Christian poll. In the next firefight go to the point of contact, tap the soldier who is under fire, his buddies who've been hit and others running up for support. Let them sit in the middle of the s#$t for 2-3 minutes, have a couple of RPGs whiz by, a couple of mortars go off and ask them if they are God fearing men.

My pop said that most of the youngsters he saw pass away asked for their moms or for the Lord's grace and forgiveness. Also lots of the prayers were made, especially if they were face down trying to make themselves as small as possible in the dirt as bullets whizzed by.

For a different perspective may I suggest reading "A Table In The Presence", by Lt. Carey Cash. You will understand just how important faith and God are to our troops in Iraq!

There may be times when "God" isn't in your foxhole,
but there WILL be times when you will Pray he is, HARD!

Most of the time, I wasn't afraid but when big stuff is landing all around, that hole seems like the largest target on earth. I wasn't embarressed about it, everyone else was
praying like hell too.

I take issue with the statement 78% of Americans are Christians. 78% may believe God exists. That doesn't mean they've experienced a spiritual conversion, even if they may be under the impression the two are the same.

I'm not sure if it is reality that 55% are Christians in the armed forces but would state that number seems closer to the truth for the general population overall in our country.

When the poll was taken ...was the poll taker actually in the fox hole taking heavy fire resulting in friendlie's...multiple KIAs and WIAs?
Didn't think so

BIG LIE #1

But the troops are 55 percent Christian, .3 percent Moslem, .27 percent Jewish, .04 percent Hindu, .24 percent Buddhist and 34 percent unknown or no preference.

NO PREFERENCE in the military means you do not make a preference as to Catholic, Protestant etc. It does NOT mean you are not a Christian.

This is another stage of Grmasci's outline on how to destroy us!

"...discredit the church - See that this is given a high profile in the news - Like-minded infiltrators in the media will cooperate..."

As people become more educated, they tend to be less religious

Only if they are victims of a Godless educational system.

Our current crop of public school victims never had the benefit of learning from these materials (or an 'updated' version of same). Had they done so they would be both better educated and more Godly.
