"It would seem to reflect a decay of faith in the general population."

I disagree. Churches like the Baptist Church and Assemblies of God Churches which teach the Bible are growing while the Cathloic Church, Episcopalian Churches, Methodist Churches, and mainstream Presbyterians are loosing members.

I think there are a heck of a lot of dissatisfied people out there who really WANT a church which follows scripture, but the feel-good left-wing liberal fruitcakes, sodomites and sodomite-supporters in the mainstream churches are driving them away in droves.

The recent high-handed spectacle of Catholic prelates defending indefensible acts of stupidity and arrogance concerning pedophilic homosexual priests is driving away a lot of Catholics, or at least making them reassess their views of the Catholic hierarchy. The inexplicable actions of a well-meaning but senile and soft-headed Pope aggrevates the situation.

What is most ominious is the increasing presence of Islam in this country, which, whatever its faults, has a strong scriptural basis and sticks to it. I fear many more Johnny Walker Linds will be moved to joined this cult as it offers something that the feel-good, faithless Christian mainstream churches have failed to offer.

Unless the people in these wayward post-Christian organizatoins posing as churches, leave in droves or take the situation in their own hands by demanding removal of these political leftist prostitutes posing as clerics and clerical hierarchical figures, and refuse to continue to support them, they will drift ever more to left. They will be increasing controlled by the homosexuals, radical feminists, friends of the earth, radical animal rights people, supporters of open immigration and all the other assorted fruitcakes who infect our decaying republic and western society in general.

Well said!
But are we not simply seeing a sorting process going on?
It seems to me that in the not too distant future the Anglicans will be the church of the fruitcakes only (gays, peaceniks etc) and the more serious Christians will go to the Baptists etc.
