RELIGION & ITS ALTERNATIVES

THOSE 'CERTAIN' THAT GOD EXISTS DROPPING

AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE - Nearly half of Americans are not sure God exists,
according to a poll that also found divisions among the public on
whether God is male or female or whether God has a human form and has
control over events. The survey conducted by Harris Poll found that 42
percent of US adults are not "absolutely certain" there is a God
compared to 34 percent who felt that way when asked the same question
three years ago.

Among the various religious groups, 76 percent of Protestants, 64
percent of Catholics and 30 percent of Jews said they are "absolutely
certain" there is a God while 93 percent of Christians who describe
themselves as "Born Again" feel certain God exists. When questioned on
whether God is male or female, 36 percent of respondents said they think
God is male, 37 percent said neither male nor female and 10 percent said
"both male and female." Only one percent think of God as a female,
according to the poll.

Asked whether God has a human form, 41 percent said they think of God as
"a spirit or power that can take on human form but is not inherently
human." As to whether God controls events on Earth, 29 percent believe
that to be the case while 44 percent said God "observes but does not
control what happens on Earth".

NOT ALL EVANGELISTS HAVE GAY SEX AND USE METH; THIS ONE JUST DIDN'T PAY
HIS TAXES

AP - An evangelist who founded Pensacola's defunct Dinosaur Adventure
Land theme park is behind bars. Jurors convicted Kent Hovind on 58
counts of tax fraud last night. The founder of Creation Science
Evangelism is accused of failing to pay $845,000 in employee taxes at
the dinosaur theme park, an amusement park that exposed visitors to
Hovind and his followers' view that human and dinosaurs coexisted and
that evolution did not occur. Hovind, who faces a maximum of 288 years
in prison, was taken into custody after the jury read its verdict.
Hovind's wife, Jo Hovind, was convicted on 44 of the counts involving
evading bank-reporting requirements. She faces up to 225 years in prison
but was allowed to remain free pending the couple's sentencing. That is
January ninth.
