[QUOTE="Suarez, post: 4057334, member: 99239"]I guess we're beating a dead horse at this point but, to pick on the main point of your argument, I'm thinking you're guilty of "selective statistics" in making your case.

But in those years protestants (the demographic who would be fighting to keep IGWT) are down to 43% of Americans as a whole making this, effectively, a motto for a minority that shrinks by the day. Here's a much more informative poll from Pew: [URL]https://www.pewforum.org/2019/10/17/in-u-s-decline-of-christianity-continues-at-rapid-pace/[/URL] Catholics, Jews, Muslims and the New Agers who believe in a "higher power" are much less likely as a group to be in favor of IGWT. That's at least my perception. Rasiel[/QUOTE]
