Thanks. Will check it out.
Just got JOEL C ROSENBERG'S
EPICENTER
His first non-fiction--looks great about Biblical prophecy in this end times era.
He commissioned a study on beliefs about such. Interesting results. Going to try and get permission to post extensive excerpts about such in a new thread.
Great book.
Half of all Republicans believe we are in the last days.
Half of all women believe we are in the last days.
Nearly half of all senior-citizens believe we are in the last days.
Nearly 6 in 10 young people age 18 to 25 believe we are in the last days.
75% of African-Americans believe we are in the last days.
7 out of 10 self-described evangelical Christians believe Israel is a prophecy that has bome true before our very eyes as would be expected. But so do half of all Roman Catholics (52%) and nearly 6 in 10 American Jews (57%)
2/3 of conservative Republicans believe modern Israel is the fullfillment of Bible prophecy, but so do nearly half of self-described liberal Democrats (44%)
6/10 Southerns agree.
PRAISE GOD!
Half of all Republicans believe we are in the last days.Half of all women believe we are in the last days.
None of which makes it true.
Nearly half of all senior-citizens believe we are in the last days.
Because, of course, the world is obviously worse than it's ever been since at least the golden age when I was a kid.
Nearly 6 in 10 young people age 18 to 25 believe we are in the last days.
People aged 18 to 25 have notoriously good judgement, not to mention their broad prespective rooted in deep historical experience.
75% of African-Americans believe we are in the last days.
George Bush is President, we must be in the final days.
1. 2/3 the population believes that "psychic powers" exist; 2. half the population believes in demons and ghosts; 3. 40% of people believe that "magnetic energy" in bracelets promotes good health; 4. 75% of pre-6-year olds believe in Santa Clause; 5. 90% of Christians believe that their faith guarantees they will go to heaven.
The amusing thing is that reality always trumps belief.
Is that the same Joel Rosenburg who wrote The Guardians of the Flame series of novels? I loved those when I was a kid.
THANKS FOR THE STATISTICS. QUITE INTERESTING.

And research tells us that 50% of all married people are women. That excludes Muslim women, of course.
Just a little humor, Quix. Love your posts.
