    A new study by evangelical Christian researcher finds that 94% ...

    A new study by longtime evangelical Christian researcher George Barna finds that 94% of Americans do not hold a biblical worldview.

    The 2021 edition is the first of its kind to measure seven prominent worldviews: biblical theism, secular humanism, postmodernism, moralistic therapeutic deism, nihilism, Eastern Mysticism and Marxism, along with its offshoot, critical race theory.
    But Barna found that no single worldview was embraced by a significant percentage of Americans.

    Thank goodness we have been bringing in between 1.23 and 2 million immigrants from all countries (save the white European ones) every year for the last 50 years. Maybe we should pause for a decade to let everyone become Americans.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    I roll my eyes when evangelicals speak of a "biblical worldview" but the following are spot on.

    ---

    "Syncretism is a cut-and-paste approach to making sense of life," he explained. "Rather than developing an internally consistent and philosophically coherent perspective, Americans embrace points of view or actions that feel comfortable or most convenient. Those beliefs and behaviors are often inconsistent, or even contradictory, but few Americans seemed troubled by that.

    Snip

    "Our studies show that Americans are neither deep nor sophisticated thinkers," he said. "We've become selfish and emotion-driven, leaving logic behind".
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Many views and stances taken by Christians are "often inconsistent, even contradictory"...but that's different, apparently.
    Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.” - Robert E. Howard
