What do y'all think about this? More people are leaving the church than ever before. Alot of people have become secular. I also read somewhere that suicide is on the rise due to feelings of hopelessness.

Alot of uncovering and truth being found out at earlier ages. The big one to me I think finding out different ways how santa claus and jesus christ are the same thing. Also if take the stance the bible is collection of different peoples account of history going on at one time. Also there could be reasons that some people would hide or misrepresent information. ie (lying or not telling something you pertiaining to something that could our should be fact or help to confirm a piece of information is a known fact.)

See that right for myself is why I don't really too much bother to discuss bible stuff because I feel and think logically for me to be able to have real understanding and beable to really agree with someone elses understanding and not just have it based on their understandng of it. I would need to have the resources to be able to go and reseach as much as needed to understand all peices of it that I do not comprehend from just the reading the text on the page of whatever version I'm reading. Because even as vast as the internet is because it's a bed of possible misinformation or misdirection, the bible for me continues to be the white rabbit whole collection stuff that I only believe bits and peices of.

Alright off to test a blog entry.

When mu uncles were my age they were deacons or pastors of the church. The men are definitely less active than the women
