success by worldly values, and by happiness
2006-08-14 15:27:23 · update #1
Young lady,
Be rest assured that Christianity and the Protestant nations are the most successful that world civilization has ever known. Using raw data and statistical analysis, it is clearly determinable that the Protestant Reformation and those who follow the Holy Scripture have been the most advanced and most wealthy of all civilization. Through God's covenantal blessings upon His obedient people since the time of Martin Luther and John Calvin, He has sent His Holy Spirit giving the Protestant Nations the victories of colonization, the industrial revolution, and many other blessings from heaven that have allowed us to fulfill the mandate from the Lord Himself that the meek shall inherit the earth, as well as fulfill the good covenantal sanctions of Deuteronomy 28 fp of chapter.

Define success. Any cult will have 99% of followers saying that they are successful but most of them will not be successful by worldly standards.

success is largely a personal matter ... in my life i have been given everything that i have ever asked for and much more than i deserve... to me that is success and i accredit it to God ... i know personally that without Him i would not be in the position i am today. You cant really refference that ... all i know is there are not too many Christians that are living on the streets and going hungry.

Christianity
Christianity is a monotheistic[1] religion centered on Jesus of Nazareth, and on his life and teachings as presented in the New Testament.[2] Christians believe Jesus to be the Messiah, and thus refer to him as Jesus Christ.
*******With an estimated 2.1 billion adherents in 2001, Christianity is the world's largest religion.[3] It is the predominant religion in the Americas, Europe, Oceania, and large parts of Africa.

I have no references but I would say Scientology. There are great number of actors and music artists that are devout followers of the church of Scientology.
