About Me
- David M. Smith
- I grew up in Arkansas, spent four years in the Marine Corps, graduated from Pepperdine University, married a little late in life, and settled in Long Beach California. We are raising two daughters and I am working as Systems Analyst. I have a few strong beliefs, and many not so strong beliefs about God, but mostly I am thankful for all HE has done for my family and me.

Man, David, I am struggling not to say, "So what?"
Looks like I failed in my struggle.
For context:
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
James 2:19 (KJV)
Hi Hammer,
I didn’t have a comment to add to the poll result, but I did think it was interesting because so much of the media ignores religion and religious people.
Hi David,
Merry Christmas,
I would have to agree with Hammertime.
It would have been interesting to know how many "believe God".
Be Blessed,
Pete
Hi Pete,
Good to hear from you and a Merry Christmas to you as well.
Surveys and polls always leave me with more questions than answers. The way a question is phrased and how it is asked will influence the response. I have to assume that most people most of the time don’t put much effort or thought into a phone poll.
It is rare to talk to someone who is a complete atheist, even in California, so my guess is that this poll is in the ballpark of being right. However, a very small percentage of what makes the cut in Network entertainment and news includes reference to any God, much less the true God.
Now to answer your question: finding people who act on the word of God consistently is about as rare as finding an atheist in a monastery.
