The facts - you asked for it

When you say, "the fact is," does that mean that what follows is what you want to believe? George Barna is pretty good, and he has been doing this a long time. And, yes, he asks the pertinent questions such as, "Did you attend church this week," and, "Do you believe you will go to heaven when you die," instead of accepting a self-assessed label. Read it for yourself: Divorce Overall, 33% of all born again individuals who have been married have gone through a divorce, which is statistically identical to the 34% incidence among non-born again adults. And this interesting bit from his latest research: "The outcomes suggest that faith does have an impact on how people live, according to George Barna, who directed the research. "It seems that areas of life most clearly related to religious beliefs, such as moral behavior and serving the needs of disadvantaged people, are somewhat affected by involvement in church or through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The data also show, however, that areas of life that are less overtly associated with people's religious beliefs - dimensions such as economics, political influence or entertainment choices - may not be impacted by their faith. People need more help in determining how their faith speaks to life issues beyond the obvious connections." Emphasis mine.
