Interesting article stating the obvious. At some point, you are just fighting against math, which is more tangible than any God (at least when it comes to politics). Maybe Joel Osteen can turn water into wine into swing votes in Ohio, Florida and Virginia.........


White Christians now make up less than half of the U.S. population, largely receding from the majorities of most demographic groups, with one notable exception: the Republican Party.
According to the latest results from Pew Research Center's Religious Landscape survey published Monday by National Journal's Next America project, just 46 percent of American adults are white Christians, down from 55 percent in 2007.
At the same time, according to the report, the share of white Christians identifying as Republican has remained steady, even equal with the share of the party that carried President Ronald Reagan to his 1984 reelection. Nearly seven in 10 white Christians — 69 percent — identify with or lean toward the GOP, while just 31 percent do the same with Democrats.
Among nonwhite Christians, meanwhile, 32 percent identify with or lean toward Democrats, and just 13 percent do the same with Republicans.

Restaurants will get better, quality bars will be more numerous, and corporate profit margins will increase as under-educated white labor becomes increasingly too expensive and uncompetitive for its relative productivity - all things for some of us to cheer about.

Besides, do we really need evangelical Christianity to subsidize Golden Corral and Shoney's? Does that make our societal fabric "tighter"?

Man, that guy would have a much better life if only he didn't have to worry about Mexican immigrants, Muslim immigrants and the government's passiveness towards Chinese trade policy. It would solve damn near everything.
 
It doesn't matter to me if i'm in the majority or the minority. My love and thanks for the Lord is part of me and that won't change or be influenced by a statistic. Obviously I'd rather the number of Christians to go up instead of down but everybody will have times in their life when they question themselves and go away from Christ or come closer to Christ or both back and forth. I just know for me i'm happy and one day in the future when i'm married and have children I will try to raise them to be good people and good Christians.
