    Has church attendance risen or fallen in the past 20 years?
    I believe people are less reliant on their community, which partly was shown through church involvement. It’s all changed as libbies have shat all over Christianity.
    And now people are more reliant on the government.
    This is where the problems of America are born.

    You can't answer a simple question with a direct answer. You aren't fooling anyone, including yourself.

    Sounds like your churches aren't doing a very good job then. If they put out a better product, maybe they'd have more customers.

    Correlation doesn't equal causation, of course, so I'm not arguing that church is to blame. Having said that, I suspect - if anything - there are higher rates of homelessness among groups of Americans which are more likely to be members of a church and to regularly attend religious services. I think this would be reflected if we broke it down by sub-categories such as income, race, and level of education.

    You’re not as smart as you say you are.
    That’s usually the first clue btw.

    Never said I was smart. I said a 6 year old was.

    Who says they haven't fixed it? I suppose we're all supposed to rely on your anecdotal, and to an extent, dishonest representation of the issue in Jax? Florida's homeless population per capita is about a quarter of what California has. I was expecting it to be more, frankly, due to the near non-existence of winter temperatures in Florida, but it looks like they've done a pretty good job with it versus California.

    This is probably one of those topics you'll want to stay away from comparisons on. California is in shambles. Florida is a destination state. California is a "let's get the **** out" state.
