I hope this wasn't a well done poll.........

23%. tack on another 18% for 'probably' show up in the heavens with angels and trumpets and broken vials.. that's a total of 41% or almost half of the u.s. who believe jesus will return by 2050. ignore that he probably never existed at all, plz.

the number in u.s. who 'believe in evolution'? 39%.

or 2 points short of a majority of sanity.

in a country with this many low effort thinkers. I mean it is totally childish to think that if there really is a God that he would give a shit about a damn football game!

I really wish Jesus would come sooner than that and take all his "followers" with him to wherever he resides.

What is really bothersome to me is that only 74% of people with postgrad degrees believe in evolution.



And in every category, I am shocked at the numbers who have no opinion whether they believe or not....which probably means that they do not know enough about it to form an opinion.

Even if I did believe in god, I can't see how that would mean I could not believe in evolution----in the sense that I could see a god starting this whole thing and letting it "evolve". But there is just too much evidence to ignore the whole theory.

mba for example is a postgraduate degree and we all know what *that* means.

I accept it. Belief if for things that aren't real.

i wonder what the percentages would be in other countries

so that's a pretty big difference.

there is at least *some* sanity out there

I ask them if Loyola plays Notre Dame, whose side is god on?

whoever prays the hardest

I wonder if this is a Tebow effect. Or if it has always been this high. I am very uncomfortable with this whole thing.

reason I couldn't resist sharing it, misery loves company I guess

More than three-quarters (76%) of Americans agree that public high schools should be allowed to sponsor prayer before football games.

Not that I'm going to become a believer or anything, but hey, Omnipotent Creator, Baltimore +4.5. And if the total points are more than 48, that would be good, too.

On edit: The over/under is 48. You have your work cut out for you, God!

who has seen fit to not only bless my chosen football team, but also a small parlay bet that has netted me the princely sum of $31.18! Money that I will use to further my ultimate goal of carrying water for the right wing and denying the voluminous subjective evidence of a supernatural deity. Either that or a nice case of beer, I haven't decided yet. Suck on that, Churchies!
