In pretty much f***ing anything it seems, no wonder people don't stay in their lanes when they turn left they expect a divine being to figure this s*** out for them or half of them expect the other driver to respond to their ESP.

In an amazing show of power, I'm going to try to turn this thread into one that won't be locked. According to this The Age article: God is still tops but angels rate well The following is true of what Aussies believe (Nielsen poll, 1000 people): - MOST Australians believe in God or a similar universal spirit, but a majority also believe in miracles, heaven, life after death and angels - nearly half the population believes in psychic powers such as extrasensory perception and 41 per cent believe in astrology - women are much more likely to believe in God and other phenomena than men - 34 per cent of Australians believe UFOs exist, men are more likely to do so than women - 68 per cent of us believe in God or a universal spirit - 50 per cent say religion is important or very important in their lives - 24 per cent do not believe in either God or a universal spirit, 7 per cent are not sure or say they ''don't know'' - 56 per cent of women say they believe in God and 13 per cent saying they believe in a universal spirit, compared with 43 per cent and 11 per cent of men - 64 per cent of believers identified as Christians - next biggest faith was Buddhism, at 2 per cent, followed by Hinduism and Islam, which each had 1 per cent of believers - 63 per cent believe in miracles - 3 per cent believe in life after death - 51 per cent believe in angels - 49 per cent who hold faith in psychic powers like ESP - 56 per cent of people believe in heaven, only 38 per cent believe in hell <-- HAHAHA, my favourite stat - 37 per cent believing in Satan - 22 per cent think witches exist - 50 per cent of the population classified as Christian were also asked about their specific beliefs in Jesus. Ninety-four per cent believed he was a real person who lived 2000 years ago - 72 per cent of the Christians think the mother of Jesus Christ was a virgin - a quarter of us believe the biblical account of human origins over the Darwinian account - Forty-two per cent of people believe in a wholly scientific explanation for the origins of life and 32 per cent believe in an evolutionary process ''guided by God'' Some scary s*** right there. |

Could be worse, a majority of Americans still claim to believe in the biblical account of creation rather than natural selection. Also they have a far higher percentage of UFO believers, and a surprising number of people who claim to have been abducted.
*EDIT* Also this thread had a truly s*** OP, nice attempt at a save. |
