To think otherwise is to reject freedom. I absolutely support, and always will support the separation of church and state.

. Israel Becoming Less Secular
by Hillel Fendel

An Israel Democratic Institute (IDI) demographic survey finds religious growth and secular decline - but most significant is that the proportion of religious in the public is highest among the youth.

The percentage of Jews describing themselves as secular has dropped sharply over the past 30 years, while the religious and traditional proportions have risen. The annual survey finds that the secular public comprises only 20% of the Israeli population - compared to 41%, more than twice as much, in 1974.

Nearly half the population, 47%, describes itself as traditional, while the hareidi-religious and religious-Zionist together comprise 33% of the public.

The numbers were compiled based on a survey of representative sampling of 1,016 Israelis Jews.

Tradition Reigns
Over the past seven years, according to IDI statistics, the proportion of secular Jews has dropped sharply from 32% to 20% today. The "traditionalists" have traditionally had the lead in polls of this nature - except for one year in 1974, when they trailed the seculars, 41% to 38%.

Other findings show that the Sephardic population is much more traditional and religious than the Ashkenazic sector. Ashkenazic Jews are those originating from European (Christian) countries, whereas Sephardic Jews lived in the Iberian Peninsula (now Spain and Portugal), African and Middle Eastern (Moslem) countries. Only 7% of the Sephardim describe themselves as secular, compared to 36% of the Ashkenazim. At the same time, 56% of the Sephardim are religious or hareidi, compared to only 17% of the Ashkenazim.

39% of those under age 40 are religious - more than those in their 40's and 50's (32%), and much more than those aged 60 and over (20%).

It can be inferred from the numbers that Israel is a traditional society, and that it will become even more so as the years go by.

Country is Right-Wing; the Religious - Even More So
Politically, the religious are more right-wing, but so are the others. Among the religious, many more identify with the right than with the left, by a 71-8 margin; among the traditional, it's 49-21, and among the secular, it's 43-27. In total, 55% of the population view themselves as right-wing, and only 18% are to the left.

For some odd reason whenever I play FIFA 08, I always get a "Disk Unreadable Error" and I have exchanged the game and with the new CD it still gives me the same error. I have obviously tried cleaning the disk and also cleared cache and formatted my hard drive, but I still have the problem! I also noticed that the Xbox scratches the disks but my Halo 3 has scratches but it is perfectly fine! Does anyone know what is up? If I send my Xbox to Microsoft can they exchange me with a new Xbox since my warranty is still available? Please help! All my other games work but FIFA 08! I don't know what is wrong! Please give me methods or steps or advise on how to fix this, thanks!

This is a followup to my last question, based one one of the answers that was given. I cited the Salve Regina and asked why we need Mary's mercy. One answer said, in part:

"The fear of God's severe judgment, the fear of Jesus as a mighty figure sitting at God's right hand, has led people to flee (figuratively) to Mary as one who is all mercy and has nothing of judgment within her. It's just like a child running to his mother when he fears his father might whip him."

The thing is, I can't accept this notion, and I cannot believe that the Catholic Church would endorse it. Jesus' incarnation was an act of mercy, and Mary as the Mother of God points us to that mercy and kindness. Mary wants us to see Jesus in those terms; and she is, I think, saddened by the idea that some would come to her because they are afraid to go to her Son directly.

What say you?

hi. I'm a math major college student who's thinking about applying for PhD. Well, It's really hard to make you understand but actually only thing I need right now is a formal admission letter from any school(in US) for PhD program.

I'm an international student and it is time to go to mendatory military service back in my country for 2.5 years.
If I just show a formal admission letter of PhD program, I can avoid mendatory military service.(Don't call me a *****.. )

I'll get a formal admission letter.. show it to my country and I might just get a job or go for profession master degree instead. But I need to get into any of math program.

I go to pretty ok school in US. I go to top 10 liberal arts college. But since I'm not a super good student I wonder which program would be the easiest to get in. I'm thinking about pure math phD or statistics phD or Education in math phD. Which one is the easiest to get in?
