pentecostals are the fastest christian denomination in the world and have been for some time. most people barely understand what science means much less weigh it against the core of their social identity.
- diego_moita 8y agoSorry, what is your point?
- nyolfen 8y ago"Pentecostals are headed to serious mistakes if they think anti-reason can take them anywhere." my point is they're doing pretty well despite you knowing better
- diego_moita 8y agoBy that metric, that overstates growth in 3rd world countries, fundamentalist Islam and ultra-orthodox Jews are doing even better. When I use the word "mistake" I am not referring to number of dumb followers, is about intellectual relevance. It is pretty clear that, in developed countries, these obscurantist and fundamentalist creeds are loosing cultural hegemony (e.g.: same-sex marriage, marijuana legalization, multiculturalism, abortion, etc).
