Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect. -- Woody Hayes
When it comes to discussions about church history, demographics or anything not specifically Faith-oriented, believers have no special advantage over atheists. Objectivity in such matters might actually be an advantage. Too frequently the adherents of the Faith come across as hypersensitive - interpreting simple, factual observations as criticism or even condemnation. Christians in America are divided by matters both theological and social; that fact isn't even in question. Pretending otherwise doesn't make you more pious or a better Christian.

Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.
Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.
It's like I said a few years ago. When someone claims Christ on forms like this, they sound more like atheist. I believe every word of the Bible KJV. I believe Him when He said He would preserve His Word, they don't. They don't believe most of the Bible. So I don't think they believe , In the Beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.So they don't believe Him, why do you think I believe you?
You might want to be careful about showing so much fealty to the King James Version of the Bible. (It represented truly a remarkable effort when it was done in 1611--actually, it was begun in 1604--but it was based upon the Textus Receptus, or Received Text. And at that time, such uncial manuscripts as Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus--the oldest ones now extant, from the mid-fourth century--were still undiscovered; so was Codex Alexandrinus, from the fifth century. And the important papyrus fragments, including those from the Chester Beatty collection--which are even older--were also still undiscovered.)
Does GOD Damn anyone anymore?
