Are Catholicism and other Christian religions ending?

[polonius]

“A report released Tuesday by the Pew Forum finds that the total number of Catholics in the United States dropped by 3 million since 2007, now comprising about 20 percent - or one-fifth - of the total population.

"And perhaps more troubling for the church, for every one Catholic convert, more than six Catholics leave the church. Taken a step further, Catholicism loses more members than it gains at a higher rate than any other denomination, with nearly 13 percent of all Americans describing themselves as “former Catholics.�

"The report, America’s Changing Religious Landscape, found that in 2014, the overall share of Christians in the United States dropped to an all-time low of just under 71 percent, down about 7 percentage points from 2007.�

All logic will be burned up on the day of the Lord. Then all men created in the image of God will begin enjoying eternal life without any questions forming in their minds.

Preaching again.
Please carefully read the guidelines and rules of this sub-forum.

“We are debating Christianity, pro and con, for and against, not debating with the assumption that Christianity is true. Please realize that people on the forum are from all worldview backgrounds and do not necessarily share the same assumptions.

2. Avoid using the Bible as the sole source to prove that Christianity is true. However, using the Bible as the only source to argue what is authentic Christianity is legitimate.

3. For factual claims like the existence of individuals, places, and events, the Bible can be considered as providing evidence, but not necessarily conclusive evidence.

4. Unsupported Bible quotations are to be considered as no more authoritative than unsupported quotations from any other book.

5. Please avoid "preaching" and using the forum as simply a way to blast people with the gospel message. This is a debating forum, not a convenient place to overtly proselytize.

6. Realize that most participants here are strong debaters and have a vast knowledge of Christianity and the Bible (including non-theists). If you make any claims, be ready to support your claims with evidence if asked. Non-Biblical evidence would go far among non-theists.

7. For debates purely on theology with the assumption that the Bible is an authoritative source, please consider posting in the Theology, Doctrine, and Dogma subforum. “

“5. Support your assertions/arguments with evidence. Do not persist in making a claim without supporting it. All unsupported claims can be challenged for supporting evidence. Opinions require no support, but they should not be considered as valid to any argument, nor will they be considered as legitimate support for any claim.
18. Abide by the guidelines on preaching and the guidelines on ranting. Repeated violations of the guidelines can result in a warning. “

Hypocrites who preach their thoughts in this forum do not like it when others preach their thoughts.

Nonsense.
I didn’t do such things. I only asked you to provide evidence for your claims and used logic to show you your posts were illogical.

So it seems the definitions agrees with me. I did not preach for I didn’t proclaim any religious truths, advocate for some moral, right conduct and so one in a tedious way. But you did. You kept on repeating the Lord will destroy the universe and the things in it.

You're talking about the Christian "preaching" of lies to their congregations of fools who have no idea who God is.

Preaching the gospel of God means to speak each word that God delivers into the mind which is what I do. If you listen carefully, the Lord says he will kill all the inhabitants on earth during the day of the Lord.

Nahh.
The invisible pink unicorn just whispered me you are just making things up.
He told me he created the universe 14 billions ago when he accidentally farted.
He also said he will not destroy the universe any time soon. He also says he does not need too; entropy will do the job on it's own.

It's obvious you hate God with a passion and since I speak for him, you might as well ban me. I'm the only source on earth where you can learn how you're created but you heathens aren't interested in that. You're only interested in being right with your arguments.

This is probably true of every church, not just the Catholic. My wife attends an Assembly of God church that has about 20 members. It's been around for over 60 years and still not growing. For every member that joins, another leaves.
