    <--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
    "And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
    For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

      What god? There is no god.
      For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

        and I think in the US it is just holding steady

          Not quite. It is in huge decline throughout the world, with the exception of Africa.

              Oh, and not forget about Asia, especially in places like China. BTW, that Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami opened up a BIG oppurtunity for us Christians over there. That's a good example of how God can make good things happen out of bad things.

                  If Christianity is on the rise why is church attendance at an all-time low?

                    It's a hatchet job from a yellow rag owned by Reverend Moon of the Moonies.

                    But, generally, I am anti-mysticism, anti-religion, anti-Old-Establishment, and anti-New-Age.

                      Does that correspond to the rising rate of HIV infection, especially in Africa?

                      Wasn't it the Christians there condemning condom use and poking holes in them before distributing them?

                      What a sick cult.

                        You're sick in the head. And besides most of the people there are muslim, and they would lynch you before you even try to convert them. Stop trying to mess with other people. They have their beliefs, you can't coerice them.

                          decline only in europe (and maybe australia), holding steady in north america, and rising in the rest of the world (especially the heavily populated areas)

                              Exactly. Christians showed their true face there -- they showed up with truckloads of aid, dangled it infront of people's faces, then denied it to them unless they converted to Christianity.

                              And then notable Christians on Apolyton defended these actions.

                              Christianity.

                                South America is virtually all roman catholic. But lets bring up Argentina.. only 20% of the population is practicing and that's declining too.

                                And Russia has always been russian orthadox...
