   Isn’t that just another religion?   
      
   I’d think that it is just the older righteous ones dying off, and the   
   younger ones are just trapped by their flesh. But the pollsters probably   
   would not be aware of that so as to ask the proper questions.   
      
   Side note: seems the older I get the more I learn of scripture af Gods word   
   and it seems that there is a fine mortar of truth that binds the rocks of   
   Truth together.
