About one-third of the American adult population believes the Bible is the actual word of God and is to be taken literally word for word, a new Gallup poll reveals. This percentage is only slightly lower than several decades ago.
Gallup reports that the majority of those "who don't believe that the Bible is literally true believe that it is the inspired word of God but that not everything it in should be taken literally." Finally, about one in five Americans believe the Bible is merely an ancient book of "fables, legends, history, and moral precepts recorded by man."
This last group are my homies.
As long as this remains the case we will continue to find ourselves being left behind in the scientific arena by other countries.
I just find it so hard to fathom that there are so many people who insist upon living a life of superstition and ignorance. It makes me feel sorry for their children, and our country.
