Born-Agains not so holy after all



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Barna research's findings on "born agains":

Born again adults who have been married are just as likely as non-born-again adults who have been married to eventually become divorced. Because the vast majority of born again marriages occurred after the partners had accepted Christ as their savior, it appears that their connection to Christ makes less difference in the durability of people’s marriages than many people might expect.

Evangelical Christians are just 7% of the national population and less than 10% of those who consider themselves to be Christian.

Born again Christians and adults who attend Christian churches are more likely than atheists, agnostics, and adherents of non-Christian faiths to buy lottery tickets.
So they aren't nearly as many as they claim (7% puts them at around the same number as gays, in my book). They don't even defend THEIR OWN marriages. And they're more likely to gamble with the lotto, which ironically, THEY above any other Christians (I believe) consider a grave sin. That means they're hypocrites, or at the very least, they don't adhere to Jerry Falwell's version of being an evangelical Christian.
