With a sample that size, the poll should be very accurate. <BR/><BR/>It's possible that they polled in a region that isn't indicative of the country at large. Polls can also sometimes be biased in their wording of the questions. If you really don't believe the results, maybe you can find out exactly what questions were asked and where the poll took place.<BR/><BR/>However, the sample size is more than enough to be accurate mathematically. <BR/><BR/>http://www.notrain-nogain.org/Train/Res/Num/how.aspMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075021471117608451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4473692853789057576.post-32433640048317160072007-10-16T21:56:00.000-04:002007-10-16T21:56:00.000-04:00Leigh:Thank you for writing.

Mr. Zowie is way too formal, and that honor belongs to my father and uncle.<BR/><BR/>This can be a complicated issue, and I certainly don't pretend to have all the answers. Besides kids growing up culturally illiterate of the Bible and being inundated by TV programs of crude caricatures of Christians. Maybe their experience with Christians are the youthful ones who are still growing. A teacher of mine, who now pastors a church in Florida, spoke about how early in his faith he preached against sunglasses. No joke. Well, he's grown a whole lot since then. But you're right, when young people meet Christians who are solid and sold out for Christ and carry the Jude 23 mindset, their opinions can change. Time is short, and the worst thing is to try to hide our faith under a bushel. Be vocal but also be a person who loves people and is solidly grounded in the Bible so you can face any challenges.<BR/><BR/>God bless,<BR/>RichardRichard Zowiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444928900710206863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4473692853789057576.post-67370500037824270012007-10-16T18:55:00.000-04:002007-10-16T18:55:00.000-04:00Hello Mr. Zowie.

I love that you write your opinions and aren't afraid enough of the "Christian" label as it stands today to hide your Christian faith. I have experienced the bias of the younger people of this nation against Christians. However, my experience is that once they meet somebody who isn't afraid of their faith and is willing to explain Christianity to them, their opinions change. Hiding your faither, keeping it close and refusing to share it with others has seemed to contribute to the impression that Christians are uppity. What do you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
