The Southern Baptist Council on Family Life found 88% of children raised in evangelical homes leave the church after high school, never to return.

You're an A1 idiot for believing that nonsense. Where is this poll you are talking about?

Those numbers don't come from an Atheist group or the MSM, though I do think those numbers are exaggerated, but that's what they claim they got.

Where is this poll you are talking about?

Southern Baptist Convention

ST. LOUIS (BP)--In the course of researching family life in America, the Southern Baptist Council on Family Life uncovered such gut-wrenching statistics that they were driven to their knees.

Among the facts they found:

-- 88 percent of the children raised in evangelical homes leave church at the age of 18, never to return.

-- The divorce ratio among members of evangelical churches is virtually the same as among non-church members.

-- In the United States, 1 million children see their parents divorce.

-- Approximately two-thirds of the members of Southern Baptist churches attend church only sporadically.

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
