The study detailed Americans’ deep and broad religiosity, finding that 92 percent believe in God or a universal spirit — including one in five of those who call themselves atheists. More than half of Americans polled pray at least once a day.

But Americans aren’t rigid about their beliefs. Most of those studied — even many of the most religiously conservative — have a remarkably nonexclusive attitude toward other faiths. Seventy percent of those affiliated with a religion believe that many religions can lead to eternal salvation. And only about one-quarter of those surveyed believe there is only one way to interpret their religion’s teachings.

Atheist Pamphlets

Hater Preacher at Obama’s Church, take two

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Well we know one thing at least: the Trinity United is a chuch-o-jerks. In every one of these videos showing haters at the pulpit, they are met with laughter and applause and approving gestures and noises. Sad. I didn’t realize Catholics taught that it was cool to publicly ridicule and humiliate your opponents in a political contest.

Definitely the best part is when Mika puts a politically correct disclaimer out there saying she doesn’t want to judge Michael Pfleger or Trinity church cuz she’s white and Tucker doesnt miss a beat without saying “I do” and that it has nothing to do with “black or what” you dummy (my words), it has to do with hatred.

Guy tries to change name to “InGod WeTrust

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Steve Kreuscher has let his status as a denizen of Zion (Illinois, that is) go to his head and has asked a judge to legally change his name to the motto that backs our money: In God We Trust.

First name, In God. Last name, We Trust. The reason, he explains and is relayed from Christianity today’s blog which itself was relaying a story from Daily Herald, is that God has been good to him, and he wants the world to know. The also reveals a few other interesting name changes from recent memory:

Santa Claus: Robert Rion of Mundelein, 1997

GoVeg.com: Karin Robertson of Virginia, 2003

Megatron: Michael Burrows of Washington, 2007

Optimus Prime: Scott Nall of Ohio, 2001
