The U.S. Census Bureau states that the states with the highest rate of conservative Christians also have the highest rates of rates of divorce, the highest teen pregnancy rates and the highest obesity levels. Why do you think that is?

Compare statistics with say, Sweden. It's much more eye opening.

You're correct about those stats, but it isn't from the census.

there are many Christian's believing in the "once saved, always saved" or that we are living in a "grace" period, believing that no mater what they do, they will go to heaven any way...so :
its better to burn out then to fade away, at least you´ll be remembered ;)
