Heard some statistics today: most American teenagers parallel their parents when it comes to religious beliefs. And that doesn't necessarily mean being Christian or Jewish or Muslim or Buddhist or (insert name of favorite belief system here).
Most folks, it seems, have become (or are becoming) deists with a kind of moral/therapeutic bent. Apparently, the couch culture of the modern psychology movement has merged with the latent deism of the American social system (thank you, Thomas Jefferson!) to give birth to a whole society that believes that God exists, that He doesn't really do a whole lot, that the ultimate goal of life is to be happy, and that our purpose here on earth is to be nice.
Yecck! Makes me want to throw up...
