I usually don't read stuff like this, but this article popped up on an RSS feed to my gmail account, so I read it.

I'll post a few statistics from the article:
In Baptist life, 3x/month isn't 'regular attendance' even..
Huh.....
???
Should I just stop reading reports, or is this still a shock to us?

I'll post a few statistics from the article:
59 percent of Protestant teens (13-17) report regular church attendance, meaning they attend church at least 1-3 times per month
In Baptist life, 3x/month isn't 'regular attendance' even..
only 55 percent of Protestant teens believe in life after death
Huh.....
90 percent of Protestant teens say they believe in God
???
69 percent of Protestant teens say they have made "a personal commitment to live for God"
only 32 percent read the Bible once a week or more
19 percent report having had sexual intercourse in the last year
63 percent of Protestant teens report cheating in school compared to only 58 percent of all teens and 41 percent say that morals are relative - that "there are no definite rights or wrongs for everybody."
Should I just stop reading reports, or is this still a shock to us?
