I don't accept that so few Christians believe in "absolutes." From my own observations, church attendance is up markedly, even compared to last November.

Have you read the Potter Threads ?

Many of those that "love " it are "Christians".....no absolutes..everything is relative.....

I have been to the Potter threads and it is appalling. However I have a hard time believing what I see at some religious sites like Too Long in the Sun Some times it is hard to determine what to believe. I keep asking Father God to guide me and I try to have faith that he is (when I am unsure). I keep searching and praying and living.

There are idiot Christians, like anyone else. And you and I both have chatted with them on too many Potter threads.

But the overall tone of this piece is smug and all too reminiscent of nearly every poll about Christianity in this country.

When was the last time you read a nationally-syndicated, positive poll about Christians? They may be out there; but they don't get front page headlines above the fold, if they're published at all.

Newspapers and the media are determined in their liberal, secular bias. Just like on December 24, when the majority of stories on the front page of your evening newspaper depict the homeless, the swindled, the jailed, the cold and lonely, the bereaved and the heartless. Just like any other day.

I'd like to see 100% of the world become strong, reformed Christians who believe in Biblical absolutes. But even if that were to happen, the polls would print that 85% of us still don't floss regularly.
