MOST AMERICANS BELIEVE BIBLE OVER NEWSPAPERS Dec. 12, 2000 -JVIM
The Washington Times reported: "Most Americans believe the Bible is more factual than newspapers;
not necessarily much of an endorsement; but find their daily newspapers far easier to read.
This ambivalence toward the ancient Scripture, confirmed in a recent survey, suggests Americans are more willing to enter the complex Bible world if they find it packaged palatably and easy to grasp, scholars and publishers say.
'For years, Gallup polls have found that huge majorities believe the Bible to be God's word, but a far smaller segment read it regularly,' says Jeff Sheler, author of 'Is the Bible True?' When Americans say they believe in the Bible, Mr. Sheler says, 'Are they merely reflecting a cultural assumption or a personal experience, having read it or applied it to their lives?' Whether Americans are truly Bible-literate in a era of slipshod literacy standards, more than eight in 10 U.S. adults told the survey that the Bible's ancient stories speak to today ?and can solve 'most or all' of life's problems.
The independent market survey of 1,000 representative U.S. adults was commissioned by Zondervan, the world's largest publisher of Bibles. It was released for National Bible Week ending Nov. 26, but also shows the publisher's ear for what Americans want in a Bible..."
D.Lim:
Do we really take things for granted? Are bible believers gullible?
Seemingly there is a comparison before decision.
Also those who trust on daily events more than the narration and instruction in the Bible are not the majority. We either have a overwhelming and sick majority in our population; or that we have an unreasonable even abnormal minority that discard the bible for trustworthy facts and instruction.
(Normality is commonly determined by(taken as) the exhibition/manifestation of the majority.)
