    • Mohabat News, an Iranian Christian news agency, said in a recent report that Christianity is spreading rapidly among youth in some cities.
    “This high rate of conversion of Iranian youth to Christianity is in spite of rigorous Islamic indoctrination of the youth in their families and educational system,” according to the report.
    “The Islamic government of Iran dedicates massive budgets to the support of Islamic organizations that promote Islam among the youth within and without Iran’s borders,” the report continued. “Regardless of such efforts, Iranian youth seem to become increasingly distant from Islam, which is a cause of great concern for the Iranian Islamic government.”

    • My impression of muslims is that they struggle to be a good person and live up to some kind of moral code (apparently there are different forms of islam, where one form rejects reason and the other embraces it.  The muslims I've talked to seem to accept reason).  However, they lack a redeemer.  So, like a catholic, they seem to be trying to climb the ladder of perfection towards God and Heaven, but unlike catholics, they cannot say, my debt has been paid by Jesus Christ.  

    Incidentally, I did meet a catholic who had converted to islam.  However, he seemed to have been poorly catechised and subverted by academia.

    yeh, the word Catholic always needs to be defined b/c it has become a worthless word these days...
    i define it as someone who believes and practices the Catholic religion to the best of his or her ability
