I know you were joking. And, frankly, in general I would agree. But just out of curiosity, consider these questions. First, in which nation -the United States or Mexico- is the per capita rate of Bible-ownership higher? Now, in which nation is the abortion rate higher? (Hint: Abortion is illegal in Mexico.) Just something interesting to consider. Forgetting, for a while, that the United States is a pluralistic society, why don't you compare the birth rate in Ireland or Italy with the United States. Now tell me how that low birth rate is attained. IOW, your question has no validity.

You can't equate this Reggie. First of all you would need to have some kind of way to count who has Bibles and then you would have to determine who reads them. Having a big one on your coffee table that no one ever opens wouldn't count. We can't hid our heads in the sand though. America does have a problem, regardless of how much or how little other countries do, don't you think?

I had no intention of equating anything, though I thought AlguyA was equating Bibles in the United States vs Mexico and the respective abortion rates.

Subsequent conversions have convinced me I misread his intent. Lets start all over again. I misread him, you misread me. We're even. ;-)
