“Personally, I don’t give Christianity Today an credence whatsoever; they are sellouts to the true Faith. But the numbers wouldn’t surprise me. ‘

Curious as to why you feel that way? I am not a defender of CT, just would like to know why they are sellouts.

I am still surprised that San Francisco is that religious. 68% Christian is a pretty good number. This proves that America is a Christian Nation.

Well, I think he is referring to those Americans of Polish Ancestry, who are historically staunch Catholics.

"Pollacks" is an ethic slur. They're called "Poles."

CT has posted numerous articles taking a distinctively “liberal Christianity” viewpoint. Whatever they used to be, they are not a Bibilicly Christian publication anymore.
