Did you know that 95% of americans are scientifically-illiterate?
Answer :From what I saw this very young girl thinks we are illiterate because we refuse evolution.
America became the most powerful nation in the world because of our literate Word of God, the Holy Bible. We are becoming illiterate because we refuse to read the Bible. Without the Holy Spirit who teaches us all things, we are becoming illiterate.
She's blaming religion and I'm blaming the lack of the Holy Spirit within Americans. Our churches are watered down, lukewarm and useless. Try a few different churches from your own and you will wonder where is the Lord in this church.
The Word of God teaches that Judgment begins in the house of God.
This young girl has been hurt by an evil church group who became a stumbling block to her. How many Americans suffer from being hurt by church members? How many Americans have left churches before they joined thinking that all the church wants in their money? How many Americans have been to churches that never once gave an invitation to make a public profession of their faith in Christ Jesus? How many Americans have left churches wanting to know Jesus better but never once were they told how to learn more about Christ Jesus? Or how to be baptised? Or what it takes to be saved? Or what it takes to have a relationship with Christ? Or what is being born again? People walk in and walk out of churches without ever being taught about the cross of Jesus.
I wish 95% of Americans were Christian. If the little girl thinks science can teach her things. She has no idea what the Holy Spirit can teach her.

"America became the most powerful nation in the world because of our literate Word of God, the Holy Bible."
No, we became the most powerful nation in the world because we grabbed the smartest folks in the world, brought them to the US, and then set about using science to design weapons that outrival anything any other nation on the planet has. We became the most powerful nation because the smartest people on the planet came to the US. Now we're becoming an illiterate bunch of religious fanatics who blame immigrants for our problems. The smartest folks in the world will go elsewhere and with them our power.
"We are becoming illiterate because we refuse to read the Bible."
We are becoming illiterate becuase you won't let our children read science books without throwing a hissy fit. You deny the basic tenets of science and pass that stupidity down to your children. Oh, and you don't read the Bible either. You don't know half the crap that's in there.
"Without the Holy Spirit who teaches us all things, we are becoming illiterate."
Everyday I hope the Holy Spirit will descend upon you and slap you upside the head for not using your brain. If that day ever happens you shall count me among the most faithful.
Yay Blackclaw!
Once upon a time a powerful government wanted to get back to that good ol-timey intolerance; it could do without all them smarty-pants furriners. Good Christian white people were, obviously, the most brilliant in the world, and destined to rule everyone else.
So it denounced "Jewish science," Albert Einstein and many others left Germany for the United States, he started writing to FDR, and we built the first atomic bomb while the bigots got their Aryan asses stomped into the ground. A similar fate no doubt awaits Jeanfailstocommunicate.
If this is the best American minds can come up with then America is a superstitious, undereducated, medieval-minded dump that deserves to be a third world country where people believe in demons, witches and mumbo jumbo.
ALthough this is what we encounter here, happily I believe there are enough sane people who, by dint of working hard, can save America from her own dark inner world. I am thankful that such people exist, even though their struggle is uphill all the way.
"I wish 95% of Americans were Christian. If the little girl thinks science can teach her things. She has no idea what the Holy Spirit can teach her. "
Like how to write sentence fragments? Jeanfails in English, Jeanfails in science, and Jeanfails in common sense!
true(well..not quite...there are Christians who understand and accept scientific research/theory and are not threatened by such). see: pie chart
"I wish 95% of Americans were Christian. If the little girl thinks science can teach her things. She has no idea what the Holy Spirit can teach her. "
And that's why the middle ages were so prosper, right?
If that really happened, you folks would be fucked. Really, big time.
Think about the impact on healthcare, education of sciences and hell, alternative studies to christian religion.
Society would be fucked.
>> the devil is preaching in the pulpits ... <<
>> How many Americans suffer from being hurt by church members? <<
Now THERE'S a legitimate question for ya.
America became the most powerful nation in the world because of our literate Word of God, the Holy Bible.
Did
did she just imply that the USA are the only country that knows of the bible?
Surely, there's not as many as 95 % of the Americans who refuse reality? I'm not very young, I'm middle-aged and I also say that if you refuse reality you're scientifically illiterate. I wouldn't blame religion per se, but the adhering to myths instead of reality. Religiosity is what causes wars such as the one in Syria right now; individual lives doesn't matter that much, what matters is the CAUSE, the One True God, and those who die will get their reward in the Hereafter. To us atheists, who think this is the one chance we get at life, every life is precious and we need to solve differences at the negotiation table, not with killing the most people. But we're the ones with no moral, according to the religious peole...
How to be baptised? I was baptised when I was two months old, it took no knowledge from my side to get it done, that's for sure.
I'd guess that about 95 % of Americans are more or less religious and the overwhelming majority is Christian. Science taught us about computers and the Internet. If you refuse science, then stay off the Internet, you hypocrite!
