More than a quarter of Americans now claim no religious affiliation, a finding from the Pew Research Center. That makes the so-called “nones” the largest bloc of Americans. Judy Woodruff reports that for white Christians, the once-dominant group by far, there’s also been a growing political divide within communities as faith has receded. It’s for her latest installment of America at a Crossroads.

      I have a Bible. I want to know where you get your screwball exegesis from.

        Well, if you have one you should read it some time. But since most english versions are awful at best, and deliberately deceptive at worst, I recommend the one I linked.

          Ad hominem

          Unjustified claim

          nth challenge to theological position ignored in favor of the above-mentioned

            You asked where my plain recitation of scripture comes from, and I answered you. If you don’t like that scripture doesn’t support your wickedness, that’s between you and God, not me. That you can only attack me rather than the scripture itself is telling. 😞

              Ignores the term exegesis which exists because objectivity is impossible when reading historical texts

              Doubles down on anachronistic interpretation that projects modern poltical and social climate onto 2000 year old scriptures which by own admission require anthropological awareness

              Another ad hominem for good measure

              Won’t touch argument about origin of the scriptural canon with a ten foot pole
