The Vikings are losing it.

Fiction will always be popular.

Nothing fictional about Fifty Shades, its a practical guide to good relationships written in a way that women can understand.

LOL at you guys making comments about 'fiction'.

Clearly your only intention is to incite a reaction from religious people.

A word of advice to the religious people, put your troll food away.

Nah, they go away when they try to incite and get treated with tolerance instead. Completely defeats the purpose.

Lower birth rates appear to follow secularization in many cases. Maybe the Norwegian people are awakening to their Darwinian instincts and finding that religion and evolution go hand in hand .

I.e. don't throw feces at the feces-throwing-monkeys or the zoo-keeper will throw you out.

There's some interesting history behind the conversion of Scandinavia to Christianity and their modern political cohesion. It seems a general trend to me that polytheism and tribalism gives way to the nation state with institutionalised religion. The question is whether the demise of organized religion will coincide with the demise of the nation state. I suspect so. But that's just a hunch.

The demise of nation states would be optimal.

I've heard it's also the most stolen book.

Religious books, self help books, and business books. Go figure, huh?

 

[RazedInBlack]

So . . . a few bibles got sold . . . big deal

A particular nation state perhaps, but as a general rule it's doubtful. There are even a number of counter-examples. Further even in states that appear to be supporting examples how is causation demonstrated?

They say God helps those who help themselves, self help books tell you how to help yourself, and the same could be said of business books.

We've used the Quran and Bible as a substitute for yoga blocks.
