‘Just like in the days of Noah’: American belief in God drops to new low
BPR ^ | 6/18/2022 | Chris Donaldson

With the ascendance of wicked leftist ideology in a nation awash in decadence, crime and perversion where it is acceptable practice to subject small children to transgender strippers doing the bump and grind at drag queen events, some may feel that America has been allowed to drift away from its religious moorings and a new Gallup poll would seem to offer confirmation of that idea.

According to data compiled by the nation’s premier polling organization, belief in God among Americans has dropped to the lowest level since it began asking the question during World War II, a sobering revelation at a time when immorality is viewed as a virtue and Christian values are under constant attack from the government, the media and an entertainment industry that specializes in pumping out product that glorifies violence and sexual degeneracy.

While the poll shows that an overwhelming majority still does believe in God with 81 percent responding in the affirmative, the number represents a distinct downward trend since the question was last asked five years ago, dropping six percentage points from 2017 and way down from a consistent high of 98 percent in polls conducted from the 1940s to the 1960s.

Responses were made to the simple question of “Do you believe in God?” without any further elaboration in the Gallup Values and Beliefs poll.

So many times America faced faced situations we as a nation should have not overcome but we did and I believe that was the Hand of God at work..Now I do not think God will lift a finger to help...

Believing in God means nothing. James said, “You believe in God? You do well, the devils believe also, and tremble.” The question is, do you BELIEVE God?

You are correct, just believing in God will not get you to Heaven.

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

I think people still believe in God, it belief in traditional churches has fallen away.

There is more than one definition.

Maybe you have been polled. God does count His sheep?

It’s harder for some to see God because of the media smokescreen.

The lack of faith has been happening gradually since the 60s.

The fattest, most passively entertained and comfortable people that have ever existed also have the weakest faith. Not really shocking given history and human nature.

So if the Earth is to be destroyed by fire this time instead of a flood, I’m thinking an ice Ark.

Perhaps an Ark covered in thermoelectric chips powered by a mini nuclear device. Adjustable of course. Will need an oxygen supply, since the fires will likely suck up all the oxygen. Melt resistant. How long for the Earth to regenerate an oxygen supply after everything is destroyed by fire?

Of course Repentance and accepting Jesus as savior is a must. And praying for mercy and delayed judgement is good too.

And so many people who claim to be Christian voted for the party that allowed this madness to occur.

It’s there, just needs a reminder.

Geologist keep hinting at the West Coast being very possible within a generation, Which that includes the Juan de Fuca subduction zone up in the Northwest and Geologists hint that the San Andreas fault is due for another, along with the Bay Area as well.

After the Alaska earthquake a tidal wave made landfall at Pt. Conception, and this fishing ville (the 60s remember) took a hit, and other damages occurred up the coast a bit.

So then, the Bible is proved to be correct again. As in the days of Noah indeed.

My problem with organized religion is simple:

Why would a supreme being need to be worshipped? Why would he care? And if so why would he become petulant if he’s not worshipped?

Then he sets up a lake of fire and pain for sinners to torment them forever. I can see a pedophile or serial killer deserve that sure.

But does a Buddhist, Muslim, Jew, Shinto or a Catholic (according to many on this site) get the lake of fire too? Because they believe in the wrong god or worship the “right” god incorrectly?

Seems crazy to any logical person. The only acceptable answer is nobody knows what happens to you when you die. But one thing for certain …we’ll all find out eventually.

Terrible for those Rejects that refuse to Seek God.
OTOH, God rewards those that Seek Him.
God Wishes that None Perish

It is not a disbelief in God, but a disbelief that He cares that the world suffers from.

Why Worship?
.
I think it’s more a proper perspective in that a creature loves the Creator.
.
I like character studies in the Bible. Men like Us with
All their faults Dealing
With the Creator.
.
Organized religion is filled with mens Traditions not Gods.
