What people believe....

The president of the Barna Group, who is flogging a book he has written thinks it is significant that only 16% of young non-Christians think Christianity has anything good going for it.
Hmmmmm....
80 %of Americans think the government is hiding knowledge of the existence of extraterrestrial life forms
More than a third of Americans believe the U.S. government was likely to have been involved in 9/11.
45% of Americans think Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11.
87% of Americans believe wishes do come true, but 55% believe wishes won't come true if they tell somebody about it
And we all know people whose mothers believed they couldn't conceive "the first time."
But there is some good news.
Fortunately, the percentage of those who believe in vampires in in the single digits.
