Three Little Dots: Holy Crap Edition

One in five Americans believe themselves to be holy. Whether they are disturbingly self-assured because God loves them or God loves them because they are disturblingly self-assured remains, as ever, an open question. … From an upsetting press release about “Red Teens”: “American teens are more religious than teens in any of the other countries studied,” according to a new study conducted by Energy BBDO, which surveyed teens from 13 countries, including Germany, France, India, and China. “They are much more likely to believe in God, more likely to consider themselves religious, and more likely to have attended a religious service in the past 30 days than other teens around the world.” I like how conservatives have co-opted everything from the left, including teenagers and the color red.
