How America's Faith Has Changed Since 9-11 [Maranatha Christian Journal by Stapler] ...Only two in ten adults claimed to believe in the existence of absolute moral truth...The most common sources of guidance regarding moral decisions trusted by Americans are feelings (25%) and the lessons and values they remember from their parents (14%). [Ed. the bible came in third.]

Responding to the disappointment of Christian leaders who have been exposed to these findings, George Barna, who directed the study, explained that, "after the attack, millions of nominally churched or generally irreligious Americans were desperately seeking something that would restore stability and a sense of meaning to life. Fortunately, many of them turned to the church. Unfortunately, few of them experienced anything that was sufficiently life-changing to capture their attention and their allegiance.

I guess this should not be surprising, but it is. We appear to be awash in a sea of relativism, trusting our own feelings rather than biblical truth.
