Reply #167: phenomenon on that allows me to keep my perspective in all this

in 2000 only 14% believed in creationism. 2002 started climbing 28%, 34%, 45% and the last number i saw around or after election time, it was up to..... 54%.

the fundie ism is of today is short lasted. the true fundie is only 14%.... maybe a little higher. but the reason it has escalated, the minister and preachers promoting and it isn't just the fundie that has jumped on board, the moderates have too. they are preaching things they would have never preached a decade ago like creationism. ministers and perishers pretty much knew it was a story not to be taken literally. they never tried to pass it off as a literal truth,.... in church. this is what we can thank bush for. a lot of this has developed from fear,.... and group think. but these people i dont believe are hardcore and they will awaken, and the number will get way smaller,.... again

on edit: i am seeing a shift. ministers are standing up and speaking out about the abuses. people these christians, need to start hearing christs words, get out of old testament preaching and back into new. they will follow
