Big new survey on churchgoing in the United Kingdom. Here is another take on the same data with some very interesting paragraphs.
In today's "post-modern society" people want everything on their own terms - that includes Christianity, says Dr Elaine Storkey, a Christian academic, broadcaster and president of Christian charity Tearfund, which commissioned the study.

"People are used to instant gratification, they are used to having what they want, when they want and without putting in too much effort. Some view religion in the same way."

Having a connection with Christianity is not a problem for most people, it's when something is asked of them that they start to struggle, she says.
Doesn't sound like much of a faith to me, certainly does not sound like a faith that makes "new creations." Yet another take on the data.

That's gotta be embarassing!

Now that is what I call aging!

Yes, it's true, people and their pets do grow a resemblance.

So, son, you think you kow how to throw a tantrum. I'll show you how to throw a tantrum.
