Study: Americans change religion like a pair of cheap pants

Traditionally, Americans have been a deeply religious people. But more and more Americans are becoming fickle about the religion they adhere to -- or abandoning religion entirely. Nearly half all U.S. adults have switched to a faith other than the one in which they were raised, or have dropped affiliation with organized religion altogether, according to a new survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

Are Americans really losing their faith? Or is faith changing in the 21st century? How has your faith changed, if at all?

A startling number of the people I know who are serious about their faith do not worship in the church in which they were raised. Even if they remained Protestant, they are affiliated with a different Protestant denomination than the one in which they grew up. You could say that this is the consumerist mentality evidencing itself, but many of these converts known to me did so not for lifestyle reasons, but for serious theological reasons.

Salon interview with Wade Clark Roof, University of California, Santa Barbara

In the minds of many Generation Xers, religion is associated with institutions, organizations, traditional conceptions of religion. But spirituality is associated with a personal search and finding purpose and meaning in one's existence.

But for many that's not true, there's a divorce between traditional language and spiritual yearnings, and I think that's a 20th century problem. There are some Generation Xers in organized religion, but the vast majority don't find the traditional language meaningful. They feel there is a discrepancy or cultural lag between institutions and their personal concerns.

Hi all

Submitted on November 19th, 2008 by Anonymous

look forward to be a part of it. Just love the ambience here. Great concept by the admin and mods and every member around.

Just to start off, I wanna ask first if you're into those dressup doll games. Coz if you do, then imma have to ask you which one is better---Barbie or Bratz games?

Barbie games inspired a lot of other games. Bratz may deny it but the concept of many if not all Bratz games originated from Barbie. Take for example the many dress up games that Bratz fans are so addicted to right now. The ideas of these games all came from Barbie. Who invented changeable clothes, customizable accessories and colourful nail polishes and hair? Barbie did. Who incorporated real like perks like cars, hotels and hot cribs? Barbie did.

On the other hand, Bratz are so popular. There is no question about that. They are loved by kids and adults alike. This is the reason Bratz games are so popular. Whenever there is a new Bratz game, expect the millions of Bratz fans to play it. There is even a war going on between Bratz and Barbie fans. Who’s better? Who’ sexier? Who’s classier?

Well
cialias It's just a way for spammers to get into your inbox. The drug is called Cialis, but they add the "soft tab" or they spell cialis wrong....it's just word-play to get that stupid ad through your spam filter.
