A recent Rasmussen poll shows the Bible Belt living up to its name.
According to an Aug. 26th survey, 75% of those surveyed in Arkansas believe the Bible is literally true. That ties for tops in the nation with Alabama.
"In Arkansas, the question proves to be one of the rare ones that doesn’t cause divisions along party lines; 83% of Republicans and 75% of Democrats say the believe in the Bible’s literal truth. Seventy-nine percent (79%) of women and 69% of men identify themselves as true believers," according to the Rasmussen report.
In Vermont and Massachusetts, only 22% of those respondents believe the Bible is literally true—the lowest percentages in all states surveyed.
Tried to dig up the Show-Me-State's number . . . but don't have that pricey premium membership.

Old Testament should be carefully followed. These dietary laws were made to keep peole from getting ill and dying. Shrimp are bottome feeders and tend to have things in them not good for our bodies. If we all followed these laws to the tee there would be no cancer from food. We'd still get it frrom this toxic air we breathe, but thats another story. The laws have a purpose. So, there is a huge difference between a literal belief and one that most Christians take.
