I intend to write here what I think and what I learn. Most of what I write here will be about politics.

Why are less people going to Church?

Less people are going to Church in America because we have still not completely healed from the counter culture movement of the 60's.

I'm not blaming the counter culture alone though.

No, mainline Churches were ruled for the most part by old white men who confused the Vietnam War with WWIII and as a result acted like they had during WWII reacting with outrage to any who opposed the war.

This broke the heart of many a good person and sinister elements did what they could then and now to keep people away from God (any God).

In the next ten years if Mainline Protestant Churches do what's right they will again find people drawn to their faith.

If they don't.........I hope they are remembered more for Rev. Cecil Williams than for Pat Robertson. Funny thing is I don't even agree with the Rev. Williams on the issue that he is most famous for.
