Nice Comment
I would like to hear Aron's commentary as well. I've checked YouTube and it's not to be found. Also, I was puzzled to find that his pied-a-terre on Patheos is gone, or that it has been moved.
Stephen, I am unable to find Aron Ra's statement about the SCOTUS decision on Roe v Wade. Can you supply a link, please
Just been listening to AronRa's take on the SCOTUS decision on Roe v Wade and he believes that this is just the beginning of what they are going for, Gay Marriage is the First
That all sounds good, but it doesn't seem to help things now.
I saw this from Pew
https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2022/january/the-nones-are-on-the-r...
Religious "nones" currently account for about 3-in-10 U.S. adults or 29%. That number is up to 10-percent in the last 10 years. Smith says those secularizing shifts show no signs of changing or slowing down.
"One thing about this trend is that it's very broad-based," says Smith. "Religious 'nones' are growing among men and women – they're growing among college graduates and those with less education. They're growing in every region of the country. As older Americans age and as they begin to pass away, they are being replaced by a new generation of young adults that's coming of age with far lower levels attachments of religion than their parents and grandparents before them. So that's a big key part of what's happening."
I have been following along from my email account but I should start commenting more.
Hi Doone, long time no see.
