Revguard User ID: 1448291 United States 12/18/2012 10:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Most Censuses ask what religion people relate to rather than if they practice so the numbers are skewed. Quoting: SheldonCooper Yep, I have "Catholic" friends who dont know shit about the bible and havent been to church since they were 8 years old. Many many people still claim a religion even though they dont believe, practice or teach it. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1581136 United States 12/18/2012 10:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Huh? Just because you're a Christian doesn't mean you're going to heaven. Some say only 144,000 are allowed in heaven. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30187142 Those people that say that need to read the Bible. John 3 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.”[g] 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 14967011 United States 12/18/2012 10:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Christians are the world’s biggest religious group, numbering some 2.2 billion people, according to a study released Tuesday by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30233037 It found that Christians make up about 32 percent of the world’s population, followed by Muslims, the second largest group, with 1.6 billion adherents. [link to www.rawstory.com] Of course, fully half of those 2.2 billion Christians are Catholics (and another huge chunk are mainline Protestants). Lots of ultraconservative evangelical fundamentalist types don't think Catholics (or moderate to liberal Protestants) are "true" or "real" Christians. Also, Christianity is currently the largest, but it isn't growing much at all, relative to the expanding total global populace. Islam remains in second place now, but it seems to be growing at a considerably faster rate than Christianity. Estimates vary, but some have predicted that if current growth rates continue, Islam might become the largest religion in the world before this century is out. |

Oh give over, the Protestants are just as bad as the Catholics, they are ALL lawless, apostate, and anti-Christ. The pawns are in place, the stage is set. The question is, are you ready? Righteous anger and Zeal does not equate to hate,pride or arrogance and are fully justified. Soon, all the slaves will be released, for the Jubilee approaches.
