Many paths, one god(s)?

“Seventy percent of Americans with a religious affiliation say that many religions — not just their own — can lead to eternal life. Most also think there is more than one correct way to interpret the teachings of their own faith.”

- from a new Pew survey on American religion. You can read more about it in this Politico.com article.

"The state where the most people think they have a prayer answered at least once a month is Mississippi, at 46 percent. The lowest figure is New Hampshire/Vermont, at 19 percent.

Literal interpretation of Scripture — belief that the Bible is the word of God, word for word — is highest in Mississippi, at 64 percent, and lowest in New Hampshire/Vermont, 16 percent."

Not too shabby for ol' MS, no?

Hope you're well...
