I am true to my convictions.

To deny God is to deny the world around you.

Canadians know this, and I speak for all Canadians because Canadians all know the importance of religion.

Thy heart has to be true at confessional to truly be forgiven.

Carrie Underwood is a Christian, and she made the song JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL!

I think the Hollywood influence in this nation should be rubbing off on our citizens. Because fans of Underwood would have to have some force pulling them into Christianity.

It means, if you become so burdened in your life all you must do is put your faith in God, and he will guide you through it.

And Carrie Underwood is VERY influential.

As things stands if the entire world ended today, half the population of planet earth would be in he!! This is the way things stand.

You're kidding right? If you think SSM is bad for the fabric of society, how the hell can you promote Hollywood ideals?

Especially for someone with a penchant to revolt at anything liberal, seriously West, Hollywood?:laughing7:

World-wide data:

The Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan periodically conducts the World Values Survey. It polls a statistically valid sample of adults from a total of 60 nations. Some of their findings from their 1995-1997 survey:
[FONT=trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica]The United States has a higher level of church attendance than any other country which is "at a comparable level of development."[/FONT]
[FONT=trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica]53% of Americans consider religion to be very important in their lives. This compares with 16% in Britain, 14% in France and 13% in Germany.[/FONT]
[FONT=trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica]The importance of religion has been declining in developed countries. [/FONT]
[FONT=trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica]In those countries which are "experiencing economic stagnation and political uncertainty," the importance of religion is high.[/FONT][FONT=trebuchet ms,arial,helvetica]
Political scientist Ronald Inglehart, one of the authors of the Institute's 1998 survey commented: "Although church attendance is declining in nearly all advanced industrial societies, spiritual concerns more broadly defined are not. In fact, in most industrial societies, a growing share of the population is spending time thinking about the meaning and purpose of life." 1
Percent of adults who attend religious services at least once a week:

In order of decreasing attendance:

* Based on 1990-1991 survey data.
These numbers are somewhat suspect. Church attendance data in the U.S. has been checked against actual values using two different techniques. The true figures show that only about 20% of Americans and 10% of Canadians actually go to church one or more times a week. Many Americans and Canadians tell pollsters that they have gone to church even though they have not. Whether this happens in other countries, with different cultures, is difficult to predict.
The Institute's 1998 study involved almost 166,000 people. They found that church attendance was in decline in 15 of 19 industrialized democracies. Only two showed small increases: Northern Ireland and Great Britain. Attendance in East Germany continues to decline, having dropped from 20% in 1991 to 9% in 1998. Five of eight ex-communist societies show an increase in church attendance. 2

She is a Christian in Hollywood, which makes her influential.

And I do think deep down, on behalf of most men and woman, that homosexuality is wrong and immoral.
