There was once a young boy who went to spend the week with his grandfather on the farm. While walking around he noticed the chickens, they were scratching and playing around. The little lad said, “They ain’t got it”. Next he saw a colt in the field playing and kicking up its heel’s to which he replied, “He ain’t got it”. After examining all of the animals on his grandfather’s farm and see that none of them had “it”, this boy finally found the old donkey in the barn. When he saw the donkey’s long, frowning face and the way that the donkey just stood there he screamed for his grandfather to come quick. “I found it, I found it” the boy kept yelling. When his grandfather asked what he had found he said, “Pawpaw, I found an animal that has the same kind of religion that you have.”
BIBLE LITERATE
Americans are among the world’s most ’Bible-literate’ people with Spaniards, French and Italians among the least, claims a Catholic Biblical Federation study. The 9-country poll (U.S., Britain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Russia, Italy, Spain and Poland) found Americans are the most willing to give money to spread the Bible’s message. 75% of American respondents had read a phrase from the Bible in the past 12 months, compared with 20% to 38% of the other countries’ respondents. Results were similar when asked if they had read a book with a religious theme in the past 12 months. Americans also pray the most (87%) and the French the least (49%). Germany and the Netherlands had the highest percentage who said they believed the Bible was not divinely inspired but just "an ancient book made up of legends, historical facts and teachings written by men." The majority of respondents in all countries believed it was the direct word of God or inspired by God. 93% of Americans have a Bible at home vs. 48% of the French. 91% of Poles attend religious services regularly, followed by the U.S. (77%) and Russia (75%).
