Social analysts say that people turn to religion in times of crisis.

Great! How many of them will turn to God with their whole heart? People need a non-hostile relationship with their Creator and not religion. I had religion for my first 16 years.

I find nothing suprising about this article. People are coming to church seeking a selfish gratification. When they don't find it or the shock wears off, they leave. Those who cry out to Him from the depths of their soul stay.

I find it not suprising at all that moral Truth is still on the decline. The Word divides. I would expect a polarization to take place.

The people groups least likely to believe in absolute moral truth were Baby Busters (i.e., those 36 and younger -- only 13 percent embrace the idea of absolute truth),...

Being a "Baby Buster" Gen-X, this is hard to swallow. Yet, it may mean that it is a sign and we should rejoice in the coming day of our Lord.

I grew up with my parents telling me they where (Actually they said we) Christian and Conservative (They told me they always vote republican {I bet not}) Back then, I thought it was a little strange when I took up going to church as a teenager that, they never went except at christmas. They where too busy (They still say that). Since then I found that they support abortion (Babies do not have souls until the first breath) and they think Homosexuality is Genetic!

When I told them about the Christian persecution in Indonesia they got all indignant. I told them "What do you care your not Christian" (No response). I don't have much respect for them any more. With Christians like that who needs em? I wonder how many millions of Christians like that are skewing the polls? What percentage of Christians in those polls are worthless?
