Right on!
I testified for the veracity of the Bible before I testified against it.
The churches here in MA can be very leftist.
I'd much prefer to be friendly with New England atheists or bible belt Christians, but neither the reverse if you switched those states around.
Because those reverses probably consider themselves vunerable, maligned minorities in their states (not connected to people group (racial) minorities). A Christian in the Northeast could be derided by atheists, and atheists in the South could be derided by Christians (though the Christians should pray for them, not deride them).
Bad news for the dems - now AND in the future. Wait. . . isn't Clintoon from Arkansas?
I agree with you. Catholics, who make up over 20% of the population do not believe in literal translation of the bible. I don't know alot about protestant churches, but there are at least a few denominations that don't believe the Bible to be literally true. Possibly this is bad reporting. At one point the article says literally true and another point refers to believing the Bible is true. There is a big difference between truth and literal truth.
Yeah. And while Arkansas is a red state it is not exactly smokin' hot conservative. I don't get that at all.

Like you said "BAD REPORTING" ... and even worse ... repeating bad reporting.
Dr Laura's biggest pet-peeve was, if I remmber correctly - gossip. The "bad reporting" is nothing but ignorant malicious gossip.
Because the Democrats PRETEND to be conservatives and the Republicans aren't much better. It's called being POLITICIANS who are basically a bunch of LIARS.
"However, more paradoxical are those Christians who are liberal"
Communism is taken from commune or community - most of the communist manifesto was plagerized from the Church's Dogma.
A true Christian who believes wholeheartedly and LITERALLY is by definition, a communist.
NOT what passes for communism today - such as from the Soviet Union or China and other states. There is a difference bwtween "The Sacred & the Profane" - the Church's "commune" is sacred ... whereas the state's communism is profane.
Before the flames - think about it. What the Bible says, What Jesus said, What the Church teaches.
There is only one problem with "secular communism" and that is people. People are flawed - they are greedy, they are cruel, they are sinful.
That is why we wait for Christ's Return.
You beleive there was a good samaritan?
Ah, I do love titles that make their points well.
bump for later
In Vermont and Massachusetts, only 22% of those respondents believe the Bible is literally true—the lowest percentages in all states surveyed.
And that's where all the homo's live.
