Christ said Christians are not as smart as atheists. What do you think of that? Whenever I ask that question of a Christian I am asked where is that in the Bible?
Protestant church social cliques with which I've been long familiar are forever learning and never coming closer to the truth, This also is in the Bible and since I am not a chapter and verse person, "diligent seekers" who cannot find their lunch will just have to root that info for themselves.
Churches dominated by retirees are treated almost continually with stories they should have heard by now at least a mil-yun times. Seldom if ever is anything difficult discussed such as increasing faith, and that at a time in one's life when it is clearly going to be tested sooner than later. Further comment on this generally would most likely be filed under the link Church & Faith at Pulpit Rock .
