"Christianity is the predominant religion in this country" And if you read the survey it is growing.
"Others" break us up we don't!
Another survey designed to cloud the fact that followers of the Christ are the predominant religion.
WE are and we are growing.
Those Celebrating the walk with Christ our Lord and Savior is if you read that dumb chart about 88% or better!
Hmmm!
People who once identified themselves as Protestant now call themselves "Christian,"
"Christianity is the predominant religion in this country" And if you read the survey it is growing.
Absolutely correct
"Others" break us up we don't!
Others(false witnesses) try to divide and conquer. Their thin veil quickly reveals their nefarious agenda
Yeah, it sounds like an artificially narrow definition of Protestant. A lot of Protestant churches don't make a big deal over being, well, Protestant. Bible churches come under that category.
"Their thin veil quickly reveals their nefarious agenda"
And what is their nefarious agenda?
Immigration (legal and ILLEGAL) from Central America, Asia, Africa and other nations have changed the Houston religious landscape from white and Protestant to a diverse mix, he said. Throw the 10 Commandments out with prayer 'in the name of Jesus'......bring on the Mosque prayer calls, Buddahs, Harry Putter, the U.N., British Darwinism (Soviet/Nazi),....Island Polygamy,.....Abortionism,....,ACLU/Hague,.....
along with all of 'their' lawyers and judges in the 'land'....
spiritual terrorism abounds in planned immigration at the expense of local/national historic VESTED INTEREST,....and,.....LOL......'Chads' abound.

If you don't know by now you're in a sorry(smart azz) state of mind. Pick a topic to read, any topic.
Oh, so theirs is kind of a free floating nefarious agenda that can be applied to whatever hobgoblin fits your fancy for the day.
That's it!

See ya Newbie.
Well, I would be one of those simply refering to myself as a Christian. Fundamental Christian, if that helps their classification. LOL
My daughter and I were discussing some of the mega-Churches in town, and she had a negative impression of them, but I cautioned her that she had to take what the news people say about Christians with a huge grain of salt-- that they're always trying to make Christians look bad. She was struck by that, and said "that's TRUE!"
More and more people are starting to recognize the anti-Christian agenda for what it is.

It's hard to miss unless a person is in a coma.
Over at DU, this is the number the are celebrating.

Well, a lot of people (particularly young people) are still very credulous, and too inclined to believe that the media are unbiased. While they know that such negative characterizations of Christians don't fit anyone they know personally, they still give the benefit of the doubt to the news people. And, since "there is no cause so noble that it won't attract a few fuggheads", they can always find that one dipstick in a multitude of decent Christians and use him to paint us all as evil. It's a "divide and conquer" strategy to balkanize the Christian community.
All this show is that more people do not ally themselves with a particular denomination. It does not take into account the growing number of non-church attending Christians. It does not mean that Christianity is on the wane but that many established churches are.
You've hit the nail on the head. As the clerical leadership of the old line Protestant churches have drifted further and further to the left and have become fixated on secular matters so they have shed more and more of their congregations. The Episcopal Church ( Full disclosure I'm a member) is rapidly declining into irrelevance. Divorce is OK. Homosexual marriage is OK. There is no longer a moral backbone provided by the church for it's regular members. I'm coming to the belief that it's better to belong to one of the evangelical churches except I haven't figured out which one yet.
Ditto!
As for the nefarious agenda, it's the same one. Convert The World.
You're BOTH a couple of newbies! :-)
