Interesting article about state of Christianity.
 
http://www.gospelcom.net/apologeticsindex/...s/00001524.html

Here are some a quotes from it:
<i>
-- The number of Germany's Protestants, once a majority of the population, has shrunk from 47 million to 23 million in the last 50 years, and of those only about 3 percent attend Sunday services regularly.

-- In France, which has a population of 60 million, there are only 25,000 Roman Catholic priests left. Their average age is 68. Some look after 30 ore more parishes. Laymen are in charge of most church functions, such as Christian funerals.

-- Anglicans are have become a minority in England.

-- Spain, once the most stalwart Catholic country in Europe, has turned into one of the most secularized in less than a generation. Curiously, more and more Spanish women, whose nation had been ruled by Muslims for centuries, are now converting to Islam.

"The average German family has 1.2 children," said Beyerhaus, "but the average Muslim family here has 3.8."
</i>

All in all -- Christianity is dying off. Slowly but surely. And id being overrun by more young/aggressibe Islam.

Actually I'd rather see Christianity as a dominant religion, not Islam, but nothign I can do about it lol

P.S. Hey if it was up to me Bhuddism would be fastest growing religion =)

so???

in South America, catholicism is decreasing and protestants and pentecostals (sp?) are increasing really fast. Muslims are stable, except on the Triple Border (Almost like the 4 corners in USA, but itīs 3: Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay). There are lot of muslims there. Bin Laden was there back in 1995 to "preach". :( :yikes:

In Africa, Protestantism is also growing fast.

Thatīs not a matter of faith, Lechium. Itīs contemporary life. The more prosperous the person is, the more he/she stays away from churches, they donīt feel the need for it.

It's not a matter of faith.
It's a matter of marketing.

You know KKK are very very serious Christians.
There are messed up people in all religions.

Also America is disliked around the world. Many people respect Osama and Co for what they did.

What is your point Lech.?

We know that the demonic religions will prosper in the end days. It predicts this in the bible. All this "evidence" means is that the end is near....

You know I am to the point I really don't give a flying shit what people think of America, it is a matter of jealousy simple as that! If our country sucks so bad why the hell are people flocking to it by the thousands EVERYDAY???????
