Why Christianity is dying in the U.S.

[crackdude]

I'm an almost-scientist and I believe in god. It isn't incompatible, as someone said about the Big Bang Theory.

Either way, believing in god or not is a choice. You could call it two different theories that try to explain everything.
But the idea that science and the bible colide is false. All scientific "facts" (theories with solid evidence) are either supported by the bible or absent.

If they were incompatible either (A) I couldn't work on my field or (B) I couldn't support a god.

Either way, pcm's extreme points of view DO NOT represent those of everyone who believes in god.
The existence of thousands of religions is more than enough proof that not every religious person thinks/acts the same way. Same way not all atheists are the devil. Many of my friends are atheists, they're good people.

pcm92 is/was trolling in this thread. I highly doubt he/she is even a Christian. Most Christians I know are very happy people and some of them actually support homosexuals. I really don't know if pcm92 is just bored or what. Why would anyone want to kill all homosexuals just because of their religion? Well, I guess they do in some countries. Not where pcm92 is from though.

Except people who think evolution is an animal changing into another animal, and that homosexuals should be killed make them all look stupid and bigoted.

True, but neither of those are exclusive to Christians, and within Christianity it is merely a tiny fringe element.

Good point Nuckles.

By the way, I think everyone could benefit from taking a look at this website:

http://www.godofevolution.com

It not only has a few interesting articles that perfectly deconstruct why creationism and young earth theory make no sense, it also perfectly conveys how Christianity and science can co-exist, and even compliment one another.

It also has a section devoted to funny memes and is currently sporting an article about seal raping otters so maybe I should link to one of those articles post haste:

I'm surprised people on here don't think we evolved over time, I mean, how can you deny that? With all the evidence (some say here lack there of), but there have been more than 6,000 individual fossils that support the claim.

Random fact, the human eye has taken 1 BILLION years just to get to the point of seeing depth.

We started out just seeing shapes, with no colour...then the eyes evolved to distinguish objects and then light/shadows, and then colour, and then finally, depth.

[nuckles87]

Something about that doesn't sound right. Animal life hasn't been around that long.

No. The human eye and the human ear is an excellent example of what to look at, if you want to believe in God. Look at a chart of the inside of both. It's too complex to be created by evolving. Read Proverbs 20:12.

3raser:

I am a Christian. You were right about the bored thing and the trolling thing. I stay inside all day, every day. I really don't have anything better to do than troll about stuff. I'm not even a Sega fan. I am not kidding when I say this. I support homosexual marriage. Just not adoption. I have never even played a Shenmue game. That's the real truth.

1 billion years is enough to evolve anything pcm92, which is why it's called "Evolution".

I would read the bible, but I don't believe I have one in my room. (It's somewhere though)

And anyway, my religion is Jedi.

[mylifewithsega]

I don't have religion. Instead, I have cats.

I'm I the only one that gets a bit upset when I think about white Jesus? About how so blatantly offensive white washing him is? Like, its disrespectful and I'm surprised that no one cares.

I think everyone on Segabits is confused about pcm92's actions right now. Back on topic, Christianity will probably not dissolve in the U.S. for another 100 years or so. In the U.K. it would be about thirty years. Ireland is the one where Christianity is dissolving the most. It's mostly because of Muslims, which have similar beliefs anyway. In some other countries, Christianity is growing. Christians could just move to one of those, like Armenia, Chile, or Tuvalu. Those three are probably at the highest possibility of growth in Christianity. For right now, at least.
