Religion-do you believe?\u00a0 Tror dere p\u00e5 Gud? <\/strong>Do you (pl) believe in God?\u00a0 Any god?<\/p>\n

One of the headlines on ‘aftenposten.no’ today is “Absurd \u00e5 tenke at det finnes noe mer<\/strong>” – Absurd to think that there is something else (finnes <\/strong>literally translates to ‘is found).\u00a0 The following excerpt comes from the article (which you can find at www.aftenposten.no) is not literally translated, but is very close:<\/p>\n

P\u00e5 sp\u00f8rsm\u00e5l om ungdomsskoleelever i Norge og Europa tror p\u00e5 Gud, svarer 40 prosent nei, 30 prosent ja og 20 prosent at det finnes en \u00e5nd eller livskraft, viser EU-unders\u00f8kelsen. <\/strong>To answer the question about junior high students in Norway and Europe believing in God, 40 % answer no, 30% answer yes, and 20% answer that there is a spirit or life force, shows the European Union study.<\/p>\n

\u201397 prosent av muslimene i unders\u00f8kelsen sier de tror p\u00e5 en Gud. <\/strong>97% of Muslims in the study say they believe in God.<\/p>\n

Svarene fra kristne er mer varierte. <\/strong>The answers from the Christians are more varied.<\/p>\n

\u2013De kan godt krysse av p\u00e5 at de er kristne, men ikke at de tror p\u00e5 en Gud. <\/strong>They can very well check that they are Christian, but not that they believe in God.<\/p>\n

Von der Lippe forklarer det med at mange er kulturkristne. <\/strong>Von der Lippe explains that many are cultural Christians.<\/p>\n

\u2013De er d\u00f8pt og konfirmert kristne, men ikke praktiserende. <\/strong>They are baptized and confirmed Christian, but they are not practicing.<\/p>\n

Flere muslimer g\u00e5r i moskeen og har et aktivt b\u00f8nneliv hjemme, if\u00f8lge religionsforskeren. <\/strong>More Muslims go to the mosque and have an active prayer life at home, according to the religion researcher.<\/p>\n

If you click on the link ‘Absurd \u00e5 tenke at det finnes noe mer der oppe,’ <\/strong>you will read (p\u00e5 norsk <\/strong>of course) that in talking to students and analyzing the results of the study that Muslims are much more proud of their religion than Christians are.\u00a0 In a sense, Muslims generally feel more strongly about their relgious beliefs than Christians.\u00a0 The students that say that they are Christian, but don’t necessarily believe in God (seems like an oxy-moron, doesn’t it) say that when someone asks them about themselves, their religious beliefs are not one of the first things they mention, if they mention them at all.\u00a0 One of the Muslim students says that it is something that he would definitely at least mention.<\/p>\n

In short, Norwegians are becoming less and less religious, simultaneously as the United States does.\u00a0 Has anyone seen ‘Religulous,’ Bill Maher’s documentary?\u00a0 It’s quite interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
