Churches are closing their doors on a regular basis; some are bought and turned into mosques. The missionary field is particularly hurting.sig94https://www.blogger.com/profile/11460563552989533923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921935853428237245.post-18955710245820968962012-04-23T18:12:07.489-04:002012-04-23T18:12:07.489-04:00I've got to say...

One in four young adults unaffiliated. Re-he-heally? No!?!@!1! hehe It took me decades to finally decide.<br /><br />Further, as the young explore, and find the emptiness of other 'faiths and truths', some, many, most?, will come back. Some, in the churches, will leave. So it has always been. I'm just not at all convinced that it is as bad as they are suggesting. I don't even see it in their numbers (those have been up and down all through time, the 60's and 70's were probably worse?). Europe? Sure. America? Not so much.<br /><br />Even with the full on press from msm, "education", and other social and political factors, that weakening is rather anemic. How about we call it O's summer of religious decline? Heh.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.com
