Yeah... that's messed up for sure. That's not the only thing though:

1. Instead of 'Wear your Sunday Best' on Sunday mornings everybody is going to church service wearing t-shirts, shorts and flip-flops
2. Embracing kweer sex
3. Letting women be ordained and become pastors
4. Abandoning committment to the traditional family
5. Rock-n-roll church services. OMG i hate that sh*t LOL

I grew up in the Methodist church, and historically they've been the most "liberal" of the major protestant denominations. Interesting then, that it was only couple of years ago they had a big schism in the UMC, over gay weddings and gay pastors, and about 30% of the churches said 'aw hell naw' and split off from the UMC (United Methodist Church - worldwide administrative organization).

I don't know that the number of believers is declining, but it certainly is a sad state of affairs in America as far as church membership, tithing and attendance go. Add one more thing to the list of things that need to be made great again.

The problem with the so-called Christians and libertarians is that they are not even trying to win. They're trying to lose, and in the most gory ways possible. Though I quite get it that they are consciously unaware of that fact--although their demons are aware, as it is their demons which are imparting their sincere and earnest seeking after their and their families' own gory slaughter.

The reason the world is in the despicable state that it's in is because the world detests God--i.e., the Truth. And that's the case even with the "Christians". If even a couple of percent of those who call themselves Christian were actual Christians, then we would already be living in a mortal paradise.

Almost all of modern world society has been inducted to some extent by their respective governments into a completely misanthropic and nihilistic antitheist Weltanschauung, a Godless worldview of eternal death. It is the sine qua non of the serial-killer ethos.

Even nominal mass-Christianity has been to a large degree inducted into this worldview by buying into the God-haters' mendacious propaganda regarding there being a conflict between science and religion. But it is a lie: for ever since Newton's physics, and especially with General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics (either separately or combined), God's existence has always been a mathematically-unavoidable result.

If God in the literal sense of the infinite sapient being does not exist, then all is permissible. Even if one can prove that, say, libertarianism is apodictically true in the same degree that 2+2 = 4 is true, so what? In the end, we're all dead anyway. The only thing that could give life any meaning beyond mere delusion is if God exists, since then an infinite computational state would exist, thereby allowing finite minds to endlessly grow in complexity toward infinite perfection (per the Quantum Recurrence Theorem). Only then would one's life-work avoid coming to naught. Only then would what one does now actually matter in the end.

Whereas traditional Christianity has been at the forefront of using the latest science of the day to prove God's existence, such as with Anselm's *Proslogion* and Thomas Aquinas's Five Ways. Indeed, natural science as a systematic discipline is the invention of Christendom, as is the university system.

Christians in this Godless age continuously cut their own feet out from under themselves before they even bother standing up. They've made the proverbial Faustian bargain with this world--in this case, what evolutionary biologist Prof. Stephen Jay Gould termed the "non-overlapping magisteria": that if they just cede ground regarding scientific matters to the God-haters, that said theophobes won't interfere with the Christians' theological concerns.

Though Satan must always betray in his pacts. The God-haters have come to lie, steal, enslave, torture, rape and murder--and all that on a mass-scale. Attempts to appease them result in mass-horrors.

Yet why would Christians believe the same God-hating intelligentsia that gave us the horrors of Communism and Nazism (and other forms of socialism), to name a few of their many horrific societal gifts? Once one buys into their false premise, one has already lost. And I'm not talking about merely debates. One has lost society. One has lost souls. This false premise is straight out of the pit of Hell. So stop believing it, those who dare call themselves Christians. Stop believing the serial-killers of societies. They set-up a trap, and naïve Christians willingly fall into it. The consequences are rotting corpses stacked as far as the eye can see. Stop being a participatory party to your own rape and slaughter. Stop fashioning your own noose.

Christians in this age have been entranced by this demonic spell. For the antidote to mankind's gore-seeking hatred of God, see my following two articles:

Go into the rocks, hide in the ground from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty!
The eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled and the pride of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),
For all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty, and all the oaks of Bashan,
For all the towering mountains and all the high hills,
For every lofty tower and every fortified wall,
For every trading ship and every stately vessel.
The arrogance of man will be brought low and the pride of men humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

Isaiah 2:10-17

Thanks, that's interesting (and sad).

I would be interested to know how they worded the question.... "Do you believe in God or any kind of Higher Power/Creator of the Universe?" would probably yield different results from "Do you believe in the God of the Bible?"
