The report ranks the most and least Bible-minded cities by looking at how people in those cities view the Bible....
Regionally, the South still qualifies as the most Bible-minded. The top ranking cities, where at least half of the population qualifies as Bible-minded, are all Southern cities. This includes the media markets for Knoxville, TN (52% of the population are Bible-minded), Shreveport, LA (52%), Chattanooga, TN (52%), Birmingham, AL (50%), and Jackson, MS (50%). Other markets in the top 10 include Springfield, MO (49%), Charlotte, NC (48%), Lynchburg, VA (48%), Huntsville-Decatur, AL (48%), and Charleston, WV (47%).
The least Bible-oriented markets include a mix of regions, but tend to be from the New England area. Easily the lowest Bible-minded scores came from Providence, RI (9%) and Albany, NY (10%). To put this in perspective, the most Bible-minded markets are five times more likely to have residents who qualify as Bible-minded than is true in these two Northeastern cities.
Though these two cities are the most extreme, none of the cities in the bottom 10 break 20%, where even one in five people could be considered Bible-minded. The New England area is home to most of the markets in the bottom 10 Bible-minded cities, including Burlington, VT (16%), Portland, ME (16%), Hartford, CT (16%), Boston, MA (16%), Buffalo, NY (18%) and New York, NY (18%).
The remaining markets in the bottom 10 are primarily in the West and include San Francisco, CA (16%), Phoenix, AZ (17%), and Las Vegas, NV (18%). Cedar Rapids, IA (18%) being something of an outlier.
See where your city ranks. See all 96 cities here..
Still denying the 7,000; I see...
Romans 11:4
And what was God's answer to him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
I'll bet you do!
Blessed ROME | Damned Protestants |
Nothing but the TRUTH | Heresy & Apostacy |
The Jews and the Holy Spirit.
The Catholic church did it's best to keep Scripture OUT of the hands of the people.
John Hus can testify to that.
Well, I’m younger and have been on both sides. I know Catholicism from the inside and the lies and control it foists on its adherents. I’ve lived both sides, not just know about them.
I know its revisionist history it passes off as true when far more objective historical records clearly demonstrate that RCC history is not accurate in the least.
I’ll take the simplicity of the gospel and freedom in Christ any day over the bondage to rules and regulations and condemnation the Catholic church lays on people in bid to make them earn their salvation.
Christians are Christians. They are not Protestants by default simply because they are not Catholic.
You are also very prideful - which is a sin. A Cardinal sin according to your religion!
Only to the truly ignorant eye.
Thanks for the pings. I've seen them all, but have had little time or inclination in the last couple of months to participate.
I see one dropped out. That one should have been zotted a long time ago for habitually making it personal, doing the VERY things he/she complained others do...
The accusation that you are "a pope" to some here is both ridiculous and insulting, yet I've come to expect that that sort of commentary or response will be part of the mix here. I've at the moment little to no patience for it.
the definition of a protestant is a non-Catholic Christian.
false pride is indeed a sin, but to qoute a Muslim, Mohammad Ali.."it ain't braggin' if you can do it"
when you're right.....you're right
I have this very same discussion with my wife of 51 years all the time!!!
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, ' it means just what I choose it to mean, neither more nor less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.' 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master - that's all.' |
I'll bet you LOSE it every time; too!
(Iff'n yer SMART you do! ;^)
Missed your post, but good to know you are reading. But not sure if that poster dropped out or won’t return under a different alias, but he/she was pushing it.
I appreciate your comparison between the damaging of eagle’s eggs and abortion....but in case you didn’t knw, the book which I assume you are referring to “silent spring” probably cost as many lives as have been taken through abortion. Silent spring resulted in the demise of DDT which resulted in MILLIONS of people in the third world dying of preventable diseases which DDT controlled....it and abortion are both pathetic.
I knew all that; but since those ‘lives’ were mostly poor feriners; they really didn’t count fer much.
