    This was related to "Christianity in decline." Actually,
    the subsequent related posts touched on the relevant issues
    nicely. (Christianity doing well in poorer, less educated
    countries but faltering or even dying in Europe and North
    America).

    Actually, the major point of this list is the relationship between
    "truth outside the Bible" (science) and the Bible. I relate
    better to Christians who say "All truth is God's truth."
    After all, science has forced major reinterpretations of
    "God's Biblical truth." Some Christians (Spong comes to mind)
    even claim Biblical moral truth is in need of reinterpretation.
