As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
“About four-in-ten adults ages 50 and older who never had children (38%) say there was a time when they wanted to have them. About a third (32%) say they never wanted to have children, while a quarter say they weren’t sure whether or not they wanted to do so.” - Pew
“Paradoxically, the faster government debt escalates toward an inevitable debt crisis, the less politicians and voters seem to care…. In the past eight years, President Donald Trump and then Biden enacted $12 trillion in deficit-expanding legislation” - Reason
The Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine (SEGM) highlighted this German finding, saying it ‘poses a formidable challenge to the presumption of permanence of gender dysphoria in adolescents and young adults.’” - Daily Citizen
“Instead of spending our limited resources on phone calls, mailings, and media buys aimed at already convinced pro-life voters, we must be laser-focused on reaching what could be called the ‘mushy middle.’” - CPost
“The recent display at the Paris Olympics stirred up a lot of controversy. Conservative sites are outraged…. The event reminded me of 1 Jn 3.13: ‘Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.’” - P&D
“The National Conservative perspective today may be abandoned tomorrow. For tariffs one day, against them the next. For raising corporate tax rates one day, for lowering them the next. Pro-Life one day, Pro-Choice the next. National Libertarian or National Populist, as long as it’s national.” - Religion & Liberty
The word “Christian” has many meanings. Thus, asking the question, “Were you raised in a Christian home?” can be ambiguous. Does one mean a home that professed evangelical religion? Or does it mean any sort of Christianity?
People change as well. Perhaps you were not raised in a Christian home, but your parents came to the Lord when you were 12? Were you then raised in a Christian home? We cannot cover all the possibilities, so try to choose the answer that fits you best.
“The first question battery was focused on the family circumstances of those who were currently nonreligious. I wanted to break this down by age to see if younger nones were more likely to be raised in a nonreligious household compared to older nones.” - Religion Unplugged
“It’s not that Hollywood had a moral awakening. As producer and film industry analyst Stephen Follows pointed out, drugs, violence, and profanity have remained roughly constant in movies during the same period.” - Breakpoint
“Even among people who have graduate degrees, they are still three times more likely to say that they have no doubt of God’s existence than to express an atheist or agnostic view of God. Certain religious belief is still incredibly robust in the United States, even if it has declined somewhat over the last 35 years.” - Ryan Burge
