Ärende: Religion declining
==========================
Hello Gerrit,

 BF>> That goes for almost all of the parts of the world where the
 BF>> standard of education is rising.

 GK> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_populations>

 GK> Can't exactly find what you're claiming.

Björn is trying to explain a concept that is a truism, but
misunderstood by many.

In the USA, the Southern states have the highest "religious"
population, yet the most people who are unchurched.  The Southern
states have the lowest standard of education because many are
illiterate and uneducated.  This is due to the large percentage
of African Americans.

White people in the South want to keep black people from gaining
political power.  And the best way to do that is to keep black people
stupid.  How to do that is simple.  Make sure black people never
have enough money to get anything done.  Limit their education by
making the cost of going to college too expensive.  Keep wages
low, especially in regards to the minimum wage.  The main point
is to keep black people economically disadvantaged.

That is why black churches are the political centers of activity
for black people.  This is different from white churches, which
are used for other purposes aside from politics.

I have always wondered what would have happend had the Rev.
Martin Luther King, Jr. not been assassinated.  I do believe
he would have become the first black President of the United
States.  And much sooner than the man from Kenya.

We have had Christian ministers run for president, many times.
Pat Robertson, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Walter Mondale, all
come to mind.  I am sure there are others.

But what a fun day it would be when Minister Louis Farrakhan
is elected President, leading his Million Man March right into
the White House!

The Nation of Islam would never be the same ...

 BF>> Only low educated people still believe that there's some deity
 BF>> that has created our universe and that worshipping that deity will
 BF>> give you a better life after the one we now have.

 GK> I already knew that you do not understand the meaning of religion. Why do
 GK> you insist on spreading your misconceptions?

Where is the kingdom of god to be found?  Is it within you,
or outside?  If outside, wouldn't it be best to bring it in
before it rains?
